Philipp Humm

KEYNOTE #1

Stories That Stick

Most people think they don’t have good stories. They believe you need a “big adventure” to keep attention.

But the best storytellers don’t wait for big adventures. They take small, everyday moments and make them shine.

In 2024, I surveyed over 1,000 people to find out which storytelling technique works the best. The result?
Three simple tools that can turn any moment into an unforgettable story.


In the keynote, you’ll discover:

  • The 3 proven techniques that make any story captivating
  • How to spot everyday moments worth sharing
  • A simple routine to make your stories stick

KEYNOTE #2

Stories That Build Trust

Most meetings start the same way.
“How’s the weather?”
“How was traffic?”
Boring. Forgettable. The moment is gone.

This keynote shows your team a better way: open with a short, real story that grabs attention and builds trust fast.

You’ll see live demos, try it yourself, and leave with a “go-to opener” ready for your next meeting.

What you’ll take away:

  • A simple 3-step flow for quick stories
  • Two easy prompts to spark real momentS
  • A habit that makes sharing stories natural

After this session, Your team will know how to start any conversation with connection, not filler.

KEYNOTE #3

Human Stories in an AI World

AI is everywhere. It writes emails, drafts reports, and fills our feeds with content. But the more AI we use, the more everything starts to sound the same: polished, but forgettable.

The leaders who stand out don’t reject AI. They use it for speed and scale, and then layer in something AI can’t do: human stories. A short, real moment only you could share. That’s what builds trust and makes ideas stick.

What you’ll take away:

  • Why human stories are the real edge in an AI-driven workplace
  • How to use AI for the draft, and stories for the connection
  • A simple way to spot and share moments that people remember

What makes Philipp's Keynote different?

Highly engaging

Your audience won’t just listen, they’ll join in. With improv games, humor, and a touch of stand-up, the energy stays high from start to finish. People laugh, try things out, and actually remember what they learned.

Very practical

No Hollywood scripts or abstract theories. Everything is built for real business settings — meetings, pitches, and tough conversations. Attendees walk away with tools they can use the same day.

Transformative

In every session, we see the same shift: people walk in nervous, unsure, or “not a storyteller.” By the end, they’re sharing with confidence, clarity, and impact. And it happens across the board — not just for one or two, but for the whole room.

What's Philipp's background?

Philipp Humm

10 years ago, I was terrified of speaking in public.
Every time I had to present, I froze. I couldn’t hold attention. I didn’t know how to tell a story.
And deep down, I knew it was holding me back.

So I got obsessed with one question: how do you speak so people lean in and act?

I didn’t start as a storytelling coach. I started in the trenches.
Investment banking at Morgan Stanley. Consulting at Bain. Product at Uber. An MBA at Columbia. I know what it feels like to pitch under pressure and win buy-in in a room that has ten minutes left.

Here is what I learned. Most “storytelling” advice isn’t built for business. It’s abstract. It’s theatrical. And nor practical. 

My keynotes fix that.
I share simple ways anyone can tell unforgettable stories at work.
