Katrin Terwiel

As a psychotherapist and former executive, I have helped over 500,000 people in my corporate career to work more healthiely, freely, and productively. Today, I instruct leaders and corporations in mental health and diversity, unlocking resources that remain uncultivated in most companies. I am not afraid to tackle sensitive subjects and break down systemic barriers without pressure.

Talking Points
Diversity:
/ Data-driven diversity management: from gut feelings to real KPIs
/ Everyone wants „tone from the top” – But what do I do if leadership doesn’t support the topic?
/ Gender nonsense and wokeness bubble – Don’t we have real business problems?
/ Scaling diversity work through employee networks & governance
/ If you have a brain, you have prejudices – How to navigate your unconscious bias
Mental Health:
/ Staying energetic and productive as a leader under constant stress
/ Employees in psychological crises – What leaders can do and where the limits are
/ Mental illness – Does it make sense, to come out in the company?
/ Diversity of brains – About 20% of all people are neurodivergent
/ AD(H)D in the workplace – Driver of innovation or guarantee for chaos?
