In this episode, designer and Comat Studio founder Franziska Seehausen shares what leadership needs to look like for 2030 and beyond. Franziska breaks down three essential traits for today’s leaders — empathy, trust, and courage — and explains how her own journey from Adidas to systems-focused studio owner shifted her view of sustainability from a technical challenge to a human and relational one. She also draws clear parallels to the events industry, showing how these leadership traits and systemic approaches can strengthen collaboration, drive innovation, and accelerate meaningful sustainability progress in business events too.
