Topic: Leadership
The world is constantly changing, which means that businesses and people also have to change. To be able to adapt to this changing world we need leaders. A good leader has the ability to communicate ideas, gain acceptance and get people to follow. Not everyone has the skill to influence, motivate and inspire others, and the question is how can we actually become good leaders? Leadership is crucial for the success of businesses, sport teams and politicians.

Confirmed Speakers
Alyssa McDonald - Owner, BLYSS GmbH
After years of corporate life as manager for a big corporation had shattered her health, Lyss began looking for the best solutions for her stomach, environment, and community. She completed the Ironman world championships and threw a handful of naked cacao beans into the ocean off Kona and promised freedom to chocolate. In awe of the intense properties of cacao, she was determined to bring chocolate back to being the food of gods, and find a way to protect it. Three years of research and trial and error sessions in the kitchen eventually led to the science of turning cacao into high quality chocolate through the virgin process. She then lived in Ecuador to learn directly from generations of cacao experts from the Andean peaks to the dense Amazon. Facing guns and snakes, she befriended shamans and elders who shared their secrets of how to love the earth, while benefiting from her fruits, and sharing the bounty. BLYSS was born, Germany's first single bean virgin chocolate.
Today, specifically through Geo-politcal activities, and campaigning global food sovereignty, Lyss addresses diabetes in the middle east, and QoL in Ecuador, while bringing to market a gorgeous series of single bean virgin chocolate experiences from things to nibble, teas to drink and a body series to indulge in. The cacao products are the proof point, a Trojan horse, for the bigger picture of influencing, through molecular nutritional integrity, a better world.
