Looking for a human resources keynote speaker? Book global leadership expert Krister Ungerböck – get groundbreaking leadership lessons

In this highly competitive era, HR professionals need to hear from a human resources keynote speaker who offers a proven perspective to leadership training, employee engagement, and talent development initiatives.

As an award-winning CEO of a hyper-growth company, Krister Ungerböck saw firsthand how the insufficient investment of leaders’ time and money would negatively impact the bottom line. Today, as a human resources keynote speaker, he guides HR teams to win support for leadership-development initiatives by inspiring leaders at even the most senior levels with new leadership techniques.

As the world’s first Leadership Archaeologist, Krister has made it his life’s work to dig beyond the well-worn paths covered by traditional business media. He searches the “four corners” of the globe to discover leadership secrets that eluded him while he was the award-winning CEO of a global technology company that grew 3,000% – from a handful of people to hundreds of employees in 8 countries, on 5 continents.

As a sought-after human resources keynote speaker, Krister helps HR leaders convince the executive team to invest in leadership development by helping them to see the power of new leadership techniques, applied to their own leadership styles.

As a rare keynote speaker with a track record as a successful CEO of a global company with hundreds of employees, Krister helps HR bridge the credibility gap that frequently causes executives to discount leadership techniques taught by trainers who have never led large, diverse organizations. As a CEO turned keynote speaker, Krister is able to speak in the practical, actionable language that executives expect, readily moving from the 30,000-foot strategic view down to the ground-level tactical view.

According to Harvard Business Review, research shows that powerful leaders tend to become less empathetic. Unlike many one-dimensional speakers, Krister is a human resources keynote speaker who seamlessly weaves together a multifaceted presentation on emotional intelligence, business growth, and leadership development. In fact, he shares the inspiring story of his personal transformation from a “difficult boss” to an award-winning CEO of a company that won 5 consecutive Top Workplace Awards.

Known for his groundbreaking leadership approach and book – The Language of Leadership – Krister reveals the secret to employee engagement, increased profitability, and faster growth: Better bosses. What’s the simplest, most practical way to build better bosses – or become one? Upgrade your language of leadership. As Krister says, “The easiest way to change how we lead is to change our words.”
