Vita

With 20 years of experience as a Bundesliga referee at the highest level, Wagner, as a "man of practice" and rule expert, also demonstrates his expertise in the media, writes columns, and as a TV expert and newspaper columnist, has been openly and clearly analyzing the events at major tournaments since the 2010 World Cup up to the current major events in 2018. But Wagner also knows how to present totally exciting football anecdotes "from the real life of a referee" as a speaker and at the same time combine these with topics from business or company management. Time and again, he inspires large and small audiences across Germany and shows what companies and associations can learn from football and one of the greats, with a whistle in his hand and armed with yellow and red cards.

Guest speaker, Lutz Wagner, was a hit,” enthused the conference participants after his 45-minute guest lecture at an internal DPD sales conference. Lutz Wagner drew vivid, exciting and humorous comparisons between the tasks of professional athletes and sales employees. Video scenes of past professional soccer matches enlivened his presentation and also inspired the female guests. I can only warmly recommend Lutz Wagner as a guest speaker for a conference. He cleverly packaged serious and important messages and “took people along with him”, said Sabine Kamsiensky, event manager.
