Inspiring with the ancient ways
I believe we need to learn from indigenous cultures to create a positive future.
These cultures, which have thrived on this planet for thousands of years, have aligned themselves with the principles of life. By combining our modern knowledge with ancestral wisdom, we can develop new societal perspectives, create entrepreneurial opportunities, and contribute to a future worth living.
Join me on a journey into the world of indigenous peoples and regenerative entrepreneurship.

My keynotes are tailor-made to provide inspiration, entertainment, and fresh perspectives. They are ideal for those seeking thought-provoking content, depth, and innovative insights.
I speak at a wide range of events, including conferences, congresses, corporate gatherings, workshops, social events, and academic settings. I offer formats that range from 15-minute insights to extended keynote speeches or contributions to panel discussions.
Keynotes
What a 4000 year old civilization can teach us about the future
Having lived for several months with the indigenous Kogi people of Colombia, I found myself in a world so different from my own that I could never have imagined it.
The multiple challenges I faced were not just the circumstances of a different way of life but also the profoundly different perspective of a millennia-old civilization.
Let’s explore what we can learn from the Kogi for our lives and businesses.
How to become indigenous to earth again
To tackle the multiple crises in the world, we need to profoundly change our relationship with ourselves, others, and the Earth.
The key is to learn from indigenous cultures and integrate ancient wisdom traditions into our modern worldview, embracing a new paradigm of who we are as humans on this planet.
In other words, we need to become indigenous to the Earth again.
Shaping the future through regenerative entrepreneurship
I will introduce the approach of regenerative entrepreneurship and explain why it is fundamentally different from sustainability.
As an entrepreneur myself, I will share the journey, the model, and some insights from my own company, the Timeless Wisdom Academy, as well as other regenerative businesses.
We will understand why sustainability is only the effect of regenerative value creation.
Becoming a guardian
We humans are meant to be guardians, not parasites to our planet. Especially in the field of sustainability, the idea is widely spread that our humanness is the problem.
Indigenous cultures claim quite the opposite: we humans are meant to be and are capable of enhancing life for all beings on this planet. Just as we need the Earth to survive, the Earth needs us to thrive!
Let’s discover how we can achieve this in our companies and societies.
AI: The emergence of our new humanness.
As AI continues to evolve, it challenges what it means to relate as humans. We explore the intersection of natural and artificial thoughts and their deep historical origins.
By becoming aware of this pivotal moment in history, we can better understand the dangers, opportunities, and, most importantly, our role as humans in an AI-driven world.
Let’s explore our place in the unfolding of this new reality.
