If you don’t change anything, nothing will change

Despite growing prosperity, life has not become any easier. The responsibility for happiness and success lies with the individual. In a complex society, meaning and direction are not simply handed to you — if you do not change anything yourself, nothing will change.

In this keynote, Prof. Erik Franck presents a clear framework and practical tools for self-leadership in both professional and private life. Drawing on four pillars – self-knowledge, self-awareness, self-control and self-compassion – he demonstrates how you can take control of your own path and foster lasting change.

This keynote is available in Dutch, English and French.
