My Red Couch Talk with Veronique Kilian
Veronique Kilian is an intercultural trainer, facilitator, author, organizational consultant, and speaker with more than 30 years of experience helping individuals, teams, and leaders thrive across cultures and complexity. She is the author of four management books and the host of the Chief Happiness Officer Podcast, where she explores happiness at work, transformational leadership, and inspiring examples of the purpose economy.
Her work combines intercultural competence with positive psychology, leadership development, and team coaching. She is an expert in a wide range of internationally recognized assessment methods, including the Quinn Competing Values Framework, Spiral Dynamics, Human Dynamics, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Big Five, the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument, the LAB Profile®, and the AEM-Cube 360°.
She believes that lasting change starts when people move beyond survival, reconnect with themselves and others, and create workplaces where both performance and humanity can flourish. This philosophy lies at the heart of her work and forms the central theme of her theatre lectures.
Inspired by her Chinese heritage, Veronique has spent many years studying Taoist philosophy and practices for vitality and well-being. She developed Taofulness™, an approach that blends mindfulness with active Taoist movement and meditation. Her fascination with Chinese martial arts led her to train in Shaolin Kung Fu and to study the Tai Chi of the Sword in China. In her annual theatre lectures, she uniquely combines personal development, happiness at work, purpose economy, humor, storytelling, Tai Chi, and the Shaolin sword to inspire audiences to discover that authentic leadership begins when we move beyond survival and reconnect with our vitality, purpose, and humanity.
She is the founder of Young SIETAR, a network dedicated to intercultural professionals who are young at heart and spirit. And initiator of the Day of the purposeful entrepreneur.
