THE COURAGE
TO MOVE FORWARD
Cinematic Keynotes for Courage, Responsibility & Meaningful Change. Because hope follows action.

REAL STORIES. CINEMATIC VISUALS.
No motivational clichés. No theory. Just real stories, visual storytelling and lived experiences from environments where uncertainty is reality. Not just inspiration — but perspectives that stay.
FROM CONSERVATION TO THE STAGE
Magdalena's work takes her into places where uncertainty is not a concept — but reality. Through her documentary series HOPE, she meets people who choose to act when nothing is certain. Those who refuse to look away. Those who take responsibility.
WHEN THIS KEYNOTE MATTERS MOST
The moment people have to move forward without clear answers. When direction is unclear but action cannot wait. When leaders must act despite uncertainty. When change creates pressure, resistance or doubt. It creates the space to pause, realign and act with intention.
Maggy, as a person and as an activist, is an essential part of our sustainability strategy. She explains with warmth, credibility and the necessary seriousness the situation in our oceans, and that every one of us must truly look beyond our own horizon. Seeing the hope and the good in all of this motivates us in the financial services industry to take new paths, so that our children and grandchildren can also live on this beautiful Earth.
Irmi Dietmair
Maggy puts her whole heart into what she does. Her stories about her path and her calling moved and motivated me deeply. It is important to believe in your own ideas and to find the courage and strength to put them into action. We can make a difference, JUST DO IT!
Hildegard Weger
I have rarely read such an inspiring, exciting and moving book. Maggy's stories make you feel as if you are right in the middle of what's happening. Her examples and ideas show us a way to proactively step into action ourselves. The illustrations matching each chapter fit the topics beautifully. From my side, an absolute recommendation!
Matthias Durst
The one thing about Maggy which is immediately noticeable is her integrity. That is something in short supply today. She's as close to a perfect human being as is possible. I have yet to hear anyone say a bad word about her. It is with tremendous pride and privilege that I not only call her a colleague, but my friend as well. I would support her anytime, always.
I know Magdalena Gschnitzer as a powerhouse and warm hearted environmental activist. Her talks are absolutely captivating. For me and many others she has been a role model for years, and I look forward to every new book of hers.
