"Vaya Wieser-Weber guided our management conference with such positive energy that it spread throughout the entire room in seconds. Her exceptional storytelling skills gave her keynote a special kind of vibrancy and relatability to the audience, while the appropriate examples presented the topic of growth mindset in an understandable way.

"With her engaging manner, a good dose of humor, and plenty of interaction with the audience, Vaya created an incredibly great atmosphere. The participants were always in the thick of things, not just there. Even after the presentation and the large group format, i.e., the two-hour program, everyone was still motivated and engaged. Thank you so much for this afternoon full of positive energy."

Patricia Zwack, Human Resources and Organization Department, City of Munich

"Moving, eye-opening, and lastingly memorable. With Vaya's keynote speech on the topic of growth mindset, she emotionally engaged the audience, and the feedback from my colleagues was fantastic. It doesn't always have to be the latest insights; sometimes it's more about remembering what matters. And if we don't know something, from now on, thanks to Vaya, we'll just say: we don't know YET. So small, yet so powerful."
