Strategy Consultant, Clown, Coach
Strategy Consultant, Clown, Coach
15 years in strategy consulting—including at the Boston Consulting Group. Today, she is a clown, trainer, and coach. Kati Gruner bridges two worlds that seemingly have little in common. In her keynote address, “Humor Is Attitude: From Strategy to Clowning,” she shares her unusual journey—and explains why the principles of clowning can be particularly helpful in work environments where deadlines, performance pressure, and growing complexity define the day-to-day work routine.
“As a consultant, I wanted to avoid surprises. As a clown, I’ve learned to love them.”

Psychological safety in the team as a success factor
A strong team needs not only bright minds, but ideally people with different personalities. Studies have shown that the more diverse the team members are, the better it is for creativity and innovation. But differences can also cause friction: a flippant but well-intentioned remark can quickly be perceived as criticism, and misunderstandings can strain relationships. Those who recognize the potential of diversity and understand what each individual needs to perform at their best can specifically promote trust and appreciation within the team. A team becomes a safe space when everyone can rely on the fact that they are allowed to make mistakes, offer help, and accept help—without fear of evaluation or judgment. This psychological safety is the key to (team) success. In this workshop, you will learn how to break down communication barriers, promote trust, and strengthen the team.

Impact doesn’t start the moment you speak. Your posture, charisma, and subtle cues often determine how others perceive you. In this dynamic workshop, you’ll experience how body language, inner attitude, and communication work together—in an interactive, surprising way that’s anything but run-of-the-mill. A short workshop packed with practical exercises, “aha” moments, and insights to help you project greater presence and impact in your daily work life.
