“OUTBREAK OF COURAGE” – The future podcast by Trainconsulting

The future belongs to the courageous. And courage is contagious. This is the core idea behind the new podcast recently launched by systemic management consultancy trainconsulting. In “OUTBREAK OF COURAGE”, Lothar Wenzl, CEO of Trainconsulting and host Tom Rottenberg talks with business leaders and other contemporaries who are driving change. They talk about finding the courage to forge new, sometimes even radical paths in turbulent times and facing the challenges of the future as pioneers in their fields.

“As consultants, we support companies when they elect to undergo a profound transformation process – including transforming into a socially and ecologically responsible organisation,” explains Trainconsulting CEO Lothar Wenzl. “We hope our podcast inspires our listeners to embark on their own transformation process as we interview charismatic individuals known for their contagious courage.”

“Encouraging and empowering” in OUTBREAK OF COURAGE #1

The guest for the first “Outbreak of Courage” is Marie Ringler, Managing Director Europe at Ashoka. At the beginning of the millennium, Marie was the youngest Municipal Council Member in Vienna, prior to which she held a number of leadership positions – including in digitalisation initiatives – at a time when the term was still largely unknown.

Today, at Ashoka, the granddaughter of a member of the resistance against the Third Reich is leading an initiative promoting courage to undertake sustainable and societal change: Ashoka is a globally active platform that supports social entrepreneurship with lucrative multi-year grants. Ashoka has an international reputation as the “gold standard” of empowerment. In OUTBREAK OF COURAGE #1, Marie Ringler talks about how her organisation successfully empowers others – and how she is constantly discovering parallels between the mentality and approach behind her work and trainconsulting’s definition of courage.
