"If you invite Dietmar as your Keynote Speaker, you will definitely get more, than 'just' your regular keynote! You can expect a spectacular, exiting, amazing, awesome and absolutly mind-blowing experience. It is not only what he tells you, which is always on point, hitting the nail on the head. It is HOW he tells it! You will find no one explaining what is happening in the world, society, economies more vividly and easy to understand. Dietmar will not only use great metaphors. He will bring them to life! So, be prepared for a completely different way of explaining managers how to do business and lead into the future. Be prepared for chain-saws or real-life size sharks on the stage!!! Dietmars keynotes will get you like BOOM! And by doing so they will open your eyes, your mind and leaving you with the great feeling, that the future might be chaotic, but manageble, if you only are brave enough to welcome something different. Honestly the best and most inspiring speaker I have seen so far!"

"It was evident from our first meeting that Dietmar possessed a deep and unique understanding of the marketing landscape. He was able to give our members a glimpse into the future of our business that was unlike any they had seen before. His effervescent nature combined with his extensive practical experience and insight captured our attendee's attention like no other speaker has. He not only left our members inspired but provided practical knowledge they could incorporate into their business. His talk was so well received we asked him back annually to keep our members motivated, informed, and entertained. He is truly one of the most dynamic speakers I have ever met in my 17+ years with ThinkLA."
