- The inner fire: Olympic Spirit – living visions and values and inspiring people
In order to inspire people with a cause – be it a product, a brand or a social or artistic commitment – you have to be able to convey fascination. Personalities who achieve this almost always have two things in common. Firstly, their path to success has usually not been straightforward. They have had to overcome obstacles, doubts and setbacks. Secondly, they have an indispensable stamina that allows them to overcome such adversity. This enables them to win over other people as fans, supporters and fellow campaigners, work with them as a team and ultimately turn their vision into reality.
Using examples from top-class sport, culture and business, Edgar Itt humorously and emotionally illustrates how an individual value system can be used as a basis for constructive interaction with the personal environment. He explains how to harmonize thinking, speaking and acting and how to make the inner fire of enthusiasm tangible at all levels. Because people are even more enthusiastic about other people than they are about pure ideas.
- Olympia is in everyone – over hurdles to success
Hurdles are not just for track and field athletes. Former top athlete Edgar Itt is also familiar with them, and not just from his active career as a hurdler. The difference between success and failure is often the “personal, authentic momentum”, as he calls it. In this humorous but above all highly emotional lecture, he describes how to find the right technique to overcome obstacles – from formulating the right vision to consistently pursuing goals. Whether in German or English for an international audience.
From the very first minute, the engaging presentation allows the audience to mentally participate in the world of top athletes. And he builds a bridge that motivates the audience to use their own potential. With lessons he has learned from his own career and gripping examples from other areas, he shows how you can find the right inspiration in every conceivable situation and turn it into real motivation. It is easy for everyone to identify with the presentation – regardless of industry or position in the company. And in the end, everyone in the audience will leave the presentation with lasting inspiration that will hopefully help them find their own personal momentum.
Edgar Itt: “If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you.”
Their path to success is often far from straightforward: doubts, obstacles and setbacks have to be overcome. But these personalities have one thing in common: they never give up on their vision and use their ability to win over other people as fans, supporters and comrades-in-arms.
Inspiration out of passion. Motivation for your life.
How do they do this? And how can their secret of success be transferred to everyday private and business life? Edgar Itt, one of the most successful hurdlers, gets to the bottom of these questions in his lecture. Using examples from competitive sport, he illustrates how everyone can act on the basis of their individual value system and interact constructively with their environment.
Visions and values: the foundation for your future.
Thinking, speaking and acting should be in harmony with each other and the inner fire of enthusiasm should be palpable at all levels. In addition to a positive attitude and motivating role models, this requires above all the willingness to reach other people not only on a factual level but also with the heart. Because in top-class sport, as in all other areas, people are enthusiastic about ideas and achievements, but above all about other people.
