Speaking
Lessons from the extreme.
Real experiences. Practical perspectives.
I turn experiences from ultra-endurance sport, leadership and business into practical perspectives on performance, resilience, risk and crisis management, and decision-making under pressure.
Night running, Kullamannen by UTMB, Sweden.
The source
Not a talk about running.
Running 100 kilometres, racing for 24 or 48 hours, or crossing mountains through the night creates extreme situations. But many of the questions are surprisingly familiar.
- Why are you doing it?
- How do you turn an ambitious objective into a realistic plan?
- What do you do when that plan fails?
- How do you make decisions when you’re exhausted?
- How do you remain committed when the finish line is still very far away?
- And how do you prepare for something when you know you cannot control everything?
These aren't only questions about sport. They are questions about performance, work and life.
Keynote themes
Four themes. One source.
Each talk is adapted to the audience, the objectives and the format of the event.
Going beyond perceived limits
What happens when we stop defining our potential through what we have already done?
Risk, resilience & adaptability
How preparation helps anticipate risks, build resilience and adapt when reality no longer follows the original plan.
Performance under pressure
How routines and decision-making influence performance when fatigue, pressure and uncertainty increase.
The long game
Motivation comes and goes. Commitment, consistency and purpose sustain ambitious goals.
What audiences take away
Perspectives you can use.
A different perspective on ambitious goals
How preparation and breaking down a major challenge can turn ambition into something you can actually work towards.
How to adapt when the plan stops working
Why preparation matters, and why adapting without losing sight of the objective matters just as much.
A better understanding of long-term commitment
What helps us continue when motivation fades and the finish line is still far away.
A reason to question perceived limits
How experience, preparation and mindset can change what we believe we are capable of.
Anticipating risks and preparing for uncertainty
How preparation helps anticipate risks and build the resilience to handle what the plan did not foresee.
Staying resilient and adapting when plans change
How to adapt when reality no longer follows the original plan, without losing sight of the objective.
Making decisions under pressure and in crisis situations
How routines and clear decision-making hold up when fatigue, pressure and uncertainty increase.

Keynote · HC Rychenberg Winterthur
“Dominik’s talk has stayed with us to this day – not because of generic formulas for success, but because he shared his own story in such an open and personal way. It was moving and at the same time genuinely motivating, making you want to keep pushing forward yourself. He is an authentic speaker who truly connects with his audience and takes them along on the journey.”
