Dirk Lehmann
Spreading ideas through engaging stories. Dirk was born in a country that doesn’t exist anymore and witnessing that change thought him early on how powerful stories can change our life. At the beginning of his career, Dirk often failed to get support and enrollment for his ideas. After more than 10 years of coaching, research, and many hard lessons on stage and in meetings, he turned a pain into a passion and delivers it every time with the right amount of humor, dedication, and humility. Today, Dirk shares all his learnings with founders and executives, so they can get the results they want right away. He combines his 10 years of experience in corporate organizations and programs like Techstars, Plug & Play and Founder Institute with the best frameworks, tools and methods from startups to create more impact and better pitches on stage.
