My keynotes
Perspective Intelligence
Unwelcome perspectives lead to faster, better decisions
This keynote helps global leaders to turn unwelcome perspectives into their sharpest decision advantage, using concrete tools like the 3-step ‘blind spot scan’ and the ‘5-minute red-team drill’.
Conflict as an Advantage
What great leaders do before the lawyers arrive.
Turn conflict into an advantage long before resignations, headlines or lawyers appear. Participants learn to detect tension early, surface the unsaid, and take decisions that hold across cultures, power lines and pressure.
Protecting Value in Cross-Cultural Negotiation
Face, time, and decision power – the economics of global negotiation.
This keynote shows international leaders how to stop losing value across borders. Participants learn to decode silence, map real decision-makers with a cultural stakeholder map, influence power dynamics, and manage concessions across cultures and departments.
The Unwelcome Perspective
Practical tools for inclusive leadership
This keynote reframes inclusion from counting minority-heads and optical PR to using human differences to drive better decisions and performance. Leaders learn concrete tools like ‘intellectual-humility sprints’ and ‘say-the-unsaid rounds’.
The way Frank handled a cultural awareness keynote in front of 39 different nationalities was simply amazing! He created an atmosphere that made us all trust his knowledge instantly, listen, dive into our own thoughts, and made us laugh.

Frank designed a one-day program to create understanding about human differences and feeling how to work with Asian cultures. The day was engaging, provided in-depth understanding, and was an ‘eye-opener’ for all.
