Chiara Behrens de Luna Keynote Topics

• Successful Team Leadership: Team Identity as the Key to Success

How do strong personalities and top talents become a true team – and how does that lead to double titles?

Using the example of the German U17 national team, who won both the European and World Championships in 2023, this keynote oders exclusive insights into an extraordinary success story. Chiara explores the leadership principles behind this achievement: How did young talents develop a strong sense of “we” in such a short time? What role did values, communication, and emotional connection play under pressure? And what can business teams learn from this journey?

• Navigating Uncertainty with a High-Performance Mindset

In times of change, pressure, and uncertainty, many leaders and teams face the same question: How do we stay edective when nothing feels certain?

This keynote introduces a powerful concept from elite sports: the Circle of Control. Chiara Behrens de Luna shows how top athletes manage their focus and remain mentally stable even in extreme pressure situations.

At the core lies one key question: What can I truly influence – and what is simply draining my energy?

This talk encourages audiences to take ownership, recognize their sphere of influence, and build inner strength – creating greater resilience, performance, and clarity in times of change.

• One Team, One Language – Communication as a Performance Driver

Successful teams are not defined by talent and strategy alone, but by a shared language. Real connection emerges when communication is clear, trust-based, and impactful.

This keynote explores how language becomes a strategic leadership tool: How can misunderstandings be reduced? How does constructive feedback work in high-pressure environments? And how can connection be maintained when stakes are high?

These experiences shape her work to this day. Chiara Behrens de Luna knows first-hand what it takes to guide teams through pressure, setbacks, and decisive moments. She has witnessed how mental strength is built, how trust grows, and how clarity makes the diderence in uncertain situations. Her results speak for themselves – and these insights now form the foundation of her work with organizations and leaders in the business world.
