The Keynote
OWN THE CLIMB
How do you keep your team performing in times of uncertainty, pressure and change?
What do cycling all 124 Swiss Passes in 26 days and business teams have in common?
Shifting priorities, adapting to constant change, obstacles along the way – and still the expectation to perform and deliver.
Monika translates the learnings of her cycling record into concrete takeaways for the business world.
Drawing on her own framework, CLIMB, teams remember and apply it immediately.
Lead your challenge. Not the other way around.
OWN THE CLIMB.
It was never about the mountain passes.
Imagine you have been cycling uphill for over an hour.
The summit is close. Then: a construction site. Road closed. Turn around, go back down, find another route – and climb again.
In that moment, physical fitness is not what carries you.
It is the decision to recommit. To the summit, not the route. To the goal, not the plan.
This is what leadership teams face in every major project. You are on track – and then the road closes.
The question is not whether it happens. It is what you do in that moment.
That moment – and others like it – is what Monika shares in this keynote.
