Magdalena Gschnitzer

THE COURAGE

TO MOVE FORWARD

Because HOPE follows ACTION.

A cinematic keynote on courage, resilience and the decisions that shape who we become.

Beyond inspiration. Perspectives that stay.

No motivational clichés. No abstract theory. Real stories. Cinematic visuals. Experiences that challenge how we see courage, change and responsibility. Magdalena brings together visual storytelling and real-world experience to create keynotes that feel honest, emotional and deeply human.

From places where uncertainty is real to international stages.

Her work takes her into environments shaped by pressure, uncertainty and responsibility. Through her documentary series HOPE, Magdalena meets people who continue moving forward despite uncertainty. People who refuse to look away. Who take responsibility. And keep going even when nothing is guaranteed.

Clarity matters most when certainty disappears.

Especially in moments when:

• standing still is no longer an option • leadership is needed despite uncertainty • change creates pressure, resistance or doubt • people are expected to move forward without clear answers

Maggy, as a person and as an activist, is an essential part of our sustainability strategy. She explains with warmth, credibility and the necessary seriousness the situation in our oceans, and that every one of us must truly look beyond our own horizon. Seeing the hope and the good in all of this motivates us in the financial services industry to take new paths, so that our children and grandchildren can also live on this beautiful Earth.

Maggy puts her whole heart into what she does. Her stories about her path and her calling moved and motivated me deeply. It is important to believe in your own ideas and to find the courage and strength to put them into action. We can make a difference, JUST DO IT!

I have rarely read such an inspiring, exciting and moving book. Maggy's stories make you feel as if you are right in the middle of what's happening. Her examples and ideas show us a way to proactively step into action ourselves. The illustrations matching each chapter fit the topics beautifully. From my side, an absolute recommendation!

The one thing about Maggy which is immediately noticeable is her integrity. That is something in short supply today. She's as close to a perfect human being as is possible. I have yet to hear anyone say a bad word about her. It is with tremendous pride and privilege that I not only call her a colleague, but my friend as well. I would support her anytime, always.

I know Magdalena Gschnitzer as a powerhouse and warm hearted environmental activist. Her talks are absolutely captivating. For me and many others she has been a role model for years, and I look forward to every new book of hers.
