Bruno Baumann uniquely combines adventure, science and storytelling. His expeditions have taken him to the most remote corners of the earth – from the Sahara to the Himalayas to the Taklamakan.

In his lectures, he builds a bridge between extreme experiences and the modern corporate world: How can you stay focused under the most adverse conditions? What really strengthens a team? And why is vision the key to motivation?
