Ralf Schumacher to appear as a guest at the WW – Work Culture Festival

With Ralf Schumacher, the Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival welcomes one of the most successful German racing drivers of his generation. The former Formula 1 driver competed in 180 Grand Prix races, secured six victories and stood on the podium a total of 27 times. Today, he works as a TV pundit, presenter and entrepreneur.

On the Board Stage, Schumacher discusses what companies can learn from Formula 1. The focus is on the high demands of an environment characterised by speed, precision and competition: How are the right decisions made under immense pressure? What sets high-performing teams apart? And how can quality and perfection be ensured in the long term?

Schumacher draws not only on his experience in international motor racing. As an entrepreneur, too, he has pioneered new business areas across various sectors and repeatedly set new standards. His talk thus offers a unique perspective on performance, team dynamics, entrepreneurial thinking and dealing constructively with pressure.

Mental strength at the very highest level: Angelique Kerber

With Angelique Kerber, the Wherever Whenever – Work Culture Festival welcomes one of the most successful German tennis players of her generation. Three Grand Slam titles, a silver medal at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio and a total of 34 weeks at the top of the world rankings make her one of the most influential figures in international tennis.

Since her professional debut in 2003, Angelique Kerber has been synonymous with discipline, mental strength and exceptional consistency at the very highest level. With her victories at the 2016 Australian Open and US Open, as well as at Wimbledon in 2018, she made German tennis history and became the first German to reach number one in the world rankings since Steffi Graf.

Today, Angelique Kerber is involved in various projects relating to sport, the development of young talent and personal development. Through the Angie Kerber Academy, she supports young talents in combining sporting achievement with values such as fairness, team spirit and resilience.

At the WW – Work Culture Festival, she brings her experience from elite sport to discussions on performance, personal development and sustainable success.
