Presenter: Urs Koenig

Urs Koenig PhD, MBA, M.S. PCC | Few keynote speakers bring the unique breadth and depth of experience in leadership that Urs can claim. After a highly successful skiing career, Urs went on to coach the Swiss University Ski Team to win numerous championships around the world. Not willing to rest on dominance in one sport, Urs went on to become an ultra-endurance cycling and adventure racing champion achieving multiple course records and race wins. In addition to physical mastery, Urs has also served as an assistant professor and research fellow at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, and the Australian National University, as well as adjunct professor at Seattle University. He has been widely published and has become a sought-after leadership keynote speaker transforming audiences around the globe. During his 20 years as an executive coach, Urs has coached over 300 high-profile leaders and dozens of leadership teams across three continents helping them to elevate their leadership from THEN to NOW. His no-nonsense approach continues to create measurable transformations in managers and their teams. In 2017 Urs embarked on a new leadership adventure, serving as Military Peacekeeping Commander in the NATO mission to the Balkans— at age 50. Most recently, at age 54, he served as a UN Military Peacekeeper in the Middle East. What’s next for Urs?

The 5 Shifts of Then-to-Now Leadership: How to Energize, Engage and Empower in a Complex World Business leaders in today’s fast-paced, disruptive, volatile business climate face challenges that did not exist ten or even five years ago: • Decision and pandemic fatigue • Burnout • A mental health crisis • Employee retention during the Great Resignation The default methods of leadership to tackle these current issues are woefully outdated, having been handed down from past generations of managers and executives. But their approaches are no longer good enough to take your people where you want to go. What worked THEN does not work NOW. During 35 years of leadership experience spanning four continents, Urs has grown leaders in academia, competitive sports, business, and complex military peacekeeping operations. He has developed a proprietary five-part THEN to NOW Leadership Framework. Applying this framework, Urs helps leaders and organizations to fully engage their people in the effort to adapt swiftly to relentless change. Leaders and organizations who shift their leadership from what we did back THEN to what we need to do NOW are ready for the future of work. Their teams are energized, engaged, and fully empowered to do what matters most: delighting customers and taking care of their team members.
