#32 | Transformation know-how meets happiness philosophy

6. July 2023

Georgiy Michailov meets Henning Werner

About discipline and kitesurfing. And about a special book that you can't buy.

41 Min

This episode is something special: It is a double premiere. Because with entrepreneur, researcher and ifUS Institute Director Prof. Dr. Henning Werner, Georgiy Michailov not only meets the first transformation expert as part of SMP LeaderTalks, but also the first author whose special book cannot be found in any bookstore.

And this podcast episode is just as diverse as Werner's vita: The two talk about surprising insights during Werner's "Certificate Course Transformation and Turnaround Manager", about his personal new record in kitesurfing and about "The Philosophy of Happiness" - his heart project for real satisfaction in life, of which there are only 20 copies.

If you're now wondering where Werner gets the motivation for his multifaceted life, he would probably answer: 'The motivation thing is over - discipline is what matters.' But Werner is not concerned with world records. Rather, it's about making the most of his opportunities, talents and framework conditions.

Find out here how he takes the various areas of his life into his own hands and what helps him pursue his goals.
