Powerful, communicative, and entertaining. These three words aptly describe the eight top speakers that the team of Speakers Excellence brought along to the 9th Cologne Knowledge Forum. In the attractive setting of the event location DOCK.ONE at the Mülheimer Hafen in Cologne, on September 16th, Roger Rankel, Michael Rossié, Ralph Goldschmidt, Daniela A. Ben Said, Rainer Petek, Daniel Enz, and Nico Gundlach presented their expertise topics. Presentation titles such as "Shake your Life," "The North Wall Principle," or "Presenting is like flirting with many" not only sounded promising but also sparked curiosity and left the audience wanting more. Entertainment as well as knowledge were on the agenda for the day. Participants not only took home a well-filled goodie bag but also a piece of expert knowledge for their (professional) everyday life. To conclude the day, a prominent speaker was on the program: Urs Meier. The successful and inspiring businessman from Switzerland, known as a football referee, presented on the topic "Learning to make decisions like a pro." With around 250 decisions per football match, he vividly demonstrated how quick and confident decision-making in professional sports can be implemented as a guide in modern management.
