How To Galvanize Impact and Action with Katrin Habenschaden & Christin ter Braak
How To Galvanize Impact And Action
Season 4 - Episode 3
Christin ter Braak - Impact Investor
Katrin Habenschaden - Economist
Change does not arrive through strategy alone. It arrives through the people willing to live inside the question of how.
Here, Christin and Katrin bring two different routes toward the same pursuit. Christin, a yoga teacher, scuba diver, advocate and impact investor, explains how and why she chooses to back the organizations she invests in. Katrin, who served as vice mayor of Munich and now leads sustainability at Deutsche Bahn, works through community engagement to build impact that outlasts any single initiative.
What is clear across both paths is that lasting change rarely comes from a single lever. It comes from holding multiple roles and relationships at once, and trusting that influence accumulates through consistency rather than a single decisive act.
Where in your own life are you already holding more than one lever for change?

What AI and Quantum Physics Reveal About Science with Tanvi Singh, Zina Cinker & Iris Haberkorn
What AI and Quantum Physics Reveal About Science
Season 4 - Episode 2
Tanvi Singh, Technologist
Iris Haberkorn, Food Scientist
Zina Jarrahi Cinker - Entrepreneur
Action means nothing without movement, and movement means nothing without direction.
Here, Tanvi, Iris and Zina bring three distinct fields into the same room: technology, food and quantum computing. Each speaker grounds their work in what is being done today, refusing to let the conversation drift into speculation about a future disconnected from present effort.
What this conversation insists on is that influence only matters when it produces something tangible, and that the gap between talking about change and making it happen is where most transformation quietly fails. All three women work inside that gap treating drive and follow through as inseparable from genuine impact.
What are you doing today that moves your own work from intention into action?

How Climate Systems Affect Every Decision Made with Parag Khanna & Sonia Seneviratne
How Climate Systems Affect Every Decision Made
Season 4 - Episode 1
Sonia Seneviratne - Climate Scientist
Parag Khanna - Systems Strategist
The data we already have is not a verdict. It is an invitation to choose differently.
Here, Sonia brings the discipline of a climate scientist, asking us to stay conscious of the changes we have already lived through and those still ahead. Parag brings geography, transport and migration data into the frame, tracing how movement and infrastructure shape the possibilities still open to us.
What becomes visible when data and geography meet is not a fixed forecast but a set of live decisions. The numbers describe a direction, not a destination, and what we do with that is up to us.
What decisions can your local data advise on? or give insights into?
