Jerome Deroy is the CEO of Narativ, Leadership Coach, and co-host of the Leadership Story Talks podcast.

For over two decades, Jerome has helped leaders and organizations bring values to life through storytelling—transforming leadership, sales, and culture from abstract ideas into lived experiences of purpose and connection. His programs enable people at every level to translate strategy into story, build trust through authentic communication, and inspire action rooted in shared values.

Jerome teaches storytelling and leadership at the University of New Mexico, Cornell Graduate School of Management, Parsons The New School, and New Mexico State University, and is an adjunct faculty member at Hult Ashridge Executive Education in the UK.

At the heart of his work is the principle of the reciprocal relationship between listening and telling—how we listen shapes the stories we tell, and how we tell transforms how we’re heard. This practice helps leaders communicate not just what they do, but why it matters—and connect their stories to the impact they want to create.

Systemic Leadership Counsellor – Center for Leadership in Educational Organisations (FiBO)@ PHSt, Graz

At the Center for Leadership in Educational Organisations (FiBO), Olivia’s work is rooted in a systemic understanding of leadership. The center supports leaders in educational organisations to grow in self-awareness and personal mastery.

Olivia focuses on the leader as a whole person, helping them maintain the vital balance between professional role and personal self: the task of acting from a function while remembering that leadership requires the whole human being.

In times of rapid change, leaders face constant, shifting demands. Finding balance makes it easier to discern which tasks to hold, which to release, and which to return to the system.

Leadership begins with resonance — with oneself, with others, and with the organisation. From this inner balance, wise and sustainable action becomes possible.

What you do sends ripples through the world. (Was du tust, zieht Kreise.)

Every conversation, every decision, every act of presence shapes the culture around us. And in those ripples, the future of learning and leadership quietly unfolds.

Dr. Katja Brunkhorst is here to light a fire under your overthinking, hyper-educated, highly sensitive and secretly passionate butt so you can finally reveal all your identities — yes, plural!

With a PhD in literature, a rock musician's soul, and a toolkit as a creativity coach, copywriter, yoga teacher and brand strategist, she's got one thing on her mind for you: Be #fullofyourself.

Show off your quirks, too; not just the shiny, polished version. We want the raw, unfiltered you, in prose that’s powerful and poetic, never afraid to lean into a bit of drama! Because it's all those messy, imperfect facets that make you truly sparkle.

LET’S ALL BE HUMAN DISCO BALLS.

Deep is an avid storyteller with a keen eye for the narratives hidden in everyday life. He has shared his stories on the Bear Stage in Berlin and Hamburg, drawing from the rich experiences of raising a multi-cultural family, living on four continents, and speaking six languages.

His storytelling journey began in the business world—helping sales teams at Signavio communicate with more clarity, confidence, and impact. Over time, he discovered that stories aren’t limited to the stage or the boardroom; they show up in parenting, in travel, and sometimes deep within, uncovered through Buddhist meditation.

At the , Deep brings this lens into product work as well—believing that every great product is ultimately a story about people, their struggles, and the possibilities ahead.

About Bear

Meet the bear — the stage, the spirit and the community of THE bEAR, where true stories are brought into the light.

Since its founding in Berlin in 2015, THE bEAR has offered a simple but powerful platform: “True stories. Real people. Told live.”

Strangers meet for an evening, one mic stands between the teller and the listeners, and in five to seven minutes a life is revealed, a moment shared. With 10 seasons in its pocket, the bEAR is ready to premier its 100th show on November 28th, at the Theatre im Delphi in Berlin. 

This bear isn’t furry — it’s a stage, a movement, a container for vulnerability and humanity. It has grown beyond Berlin to Hamburg, with a belief that stories connect us and deepen our empathy for one another.
