The Room

Half a day. Two days. No slides. People who chose to be there.

There is a version of every meeting, every ward round, every offsite, where people say what they actually think. Most rooms never get there. Not because people don't want to. Because nobody goes first.

I go first.

This is where the work lives.

When one person in a room stops performing, publicly and at real cost, the room's permission structure collapses. People say the thing they came in not planning to say. That's Testimony-Based Presence, the same twenty-five-year methodology behind every keynote I give, run here as the room itself instead of a talk about it.

The Two-Day Intensive

For people who chose to be here.

Two days. Maximum 10 people. Vienna. By application.

Two days of Testimony-Based Presence, the same method behind the keynote, applied to whoever is in the room with you. No topic. No agenda to work through. I go first into whatever is true and not being said, and the room follows.

This is a room where people stop having to be fine. You will see others. Something will become possible that wasn't possible before. That's all I can honestly promise.

There is no curriculum. No level two. No upsell. You pay once and you get everything. If that's enough, apply.

By application. Dates announced to the list.

The Half-Day

For teams and organisations.

Same method, compressed. I go first in front of your team, and the room recalibrates around what's actually true instead of what's polite. People say things they've never said in a professional context, and the change tends to show up the same week.

Three to four hours. 10–12 people. In-person preferred. For healthcare teams, leadership groups, patient organisations, and any team where everyone is fine and nothing is working.

Available internationally from Vienna. Typical lead time 4–8 weeks. Contact for pricing.

What changes in the organisation

  • Conversations that were being avoided become discussable.
  • Teams identify what is actually blocking a decision, not what the agenda said was blocking it.
  • Leaders hear things the formal feedback channels miss.
  • People leave with language they can use in a meeting the same week.
  • The room becomes more honest without becoming unsafe.

What you won't find here:

  • No multi-level workshops. You pay once. You get everything.
  • No manufactured urgency. Ten people is ten people because that's the right number for the room.
  • No testimonials harvested in the high of the moment. People go home, sleep on it, decide if they want to say anything later.
  • No promises I can't keep. What you do with what happens in the room belongs to you.

What People Say

The magic begins as soon as you appear on the stage. You're a master in creating emotional atmospheres.

StefanHealthcare Professional · IMC Krems, April 2026

I left with the feeling that I had grown on a human level. Your workshop was a powerful reminder of how essential empathy, active listening, and perspective-taking truly are.

Alexandra A.Workshop Participant · IMC Krems, April 2026

Your story was so rousing. I got goosebumps while you were telling your story. Thank you very much for this experience.

LidiaStudent · IMC University of Applied Sciences

I could immediately put the spirit into practice — the same evening with a patient.

StefanHealthcare Professional · IMC Krems, April 2026

You reminded me again of how important it is to closely integrate the patient perspective — and that of their families — into the therapeutic process.

Julia M., BScDietitian (ME/CFS specialist) · IMC Krems, April 2026

I think everyone needs an afternoon with Roi now and then.
