Kulmbach: Lecture on the new performance culture with Olympic coach Theo Bergauer

These days, the issue of work ethic is preoccupying the country's minds. Led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), a debate is being sparked about increasing efficiency and willingness to work in Germany. This will certainly also shape the Summer Academy 2025 event on July 2nd in Kulmbach, where experts will discuss important aspects of a new performance culture.

At the summer academy, which is organized by the Advisory Competence Upper Franconia (BKO) in cooperation with the Academy for New Media, mental strength as well as team performance and physical fitness are on the agenda. Under the motto “Back to the culture of performance”, the well-known coach Theo Bergauer from Waldsassen will give a lecture and will address the numerous facets of a meaningful collaboration [Frankenpost].

An inspiring evening program

The event starts on July 2nd, 2025 at 5:00 p.m. and is sure to provide exciting impulses. In addition to Bergauer, Erhard Jersch and Marc Jersch will also appear as speakers. Erhard Jersch, an experienced mental coach, will talk about “unleashing high performance teams,” while Marc Jersch, vice world champion in functional fitness, will shed light on the connection between physical fitness and mental strength. Thomas Nagel, director of studies at the academy, will kick off the event, and snacks and networking will follow the lectures Berater Oberfranken.

Exchange among participants is also essential for a productive event. The organizers offer a cozy atmosphere where you can have a good conversation over snacks and drinks. Participation costs 39 euros, including meals, and registrations should be received by June 18, 2025, which should not be a major hurdle given the exciting program.

Performance culture in focus

The discussion about performance culture is underpinned by various theses and concepts. Experts define performance culture as a corporate culture that is experienced as beneficial by both leaders and those being led performance culture. In this context, it is important that individual contributions are not only recognized but also encouraged. A healthy performance culture must be developed within the organization – from the bottom up. Both emotional and factual factors are important here, and relationships are based on give and take.

The summer academy is therefore not just an opportunity to learn. It will also provide a platform to reflect on the necessary changes in work culture. Anyone interested in creating an effective performance culture should not miss this event!
