The Nordwand-Principle:


How to Manage Uncertainty


Do you need a speaker who encourages your people to embrace uncertainty and change?


Would you like to hear compelling climbing experiences combined with profound business relevance?


Are you seeking food for thought? Brain-food that inspires action and will be remembered long after your event is over?


In his keynotes Rainer Petek takes your employees and customers up the “north face of business“. With stories that get under your skin and impressive pictures from his experience as extreme mountaineer, professional mountain guide and change expert, Rainer provides an insight into new forms of shaping the future. He offers solid strategies and principles for successfully mastering change and uncertainty.


Rainer Petek always presents powerfully and extraordinarily: For face-to-face events, his customers get either a picture-perfect "classic" presentation or a breathtaking hologram show, depending on their wishes and requirements.


For virtual events or hybrid formats, Rainer offers an almost cinema-like online live production from his own professionally equipped home studio. Furthermore, Rainer offers his clients the possibility to follow his impulses from a virtual mountain world rendered especially for him.
