Prof. Dr. Anabel Ternès helps organisations turn sustainability challenges into commercial advantage. A sustainability, innovation, and leadership speaker, she's CEO of Sustain Plus GmbH, President of Club of Budapest Germany, and was named a Forbes "Superwoman".
Prof. Dr. Anabel Ternès is a sustainability and innovation expert who combines academic research with hands-on business leadership. She helps organisations respond to environmental, technological, and cultural change with strategies they can put into practice.
Anabel is CEO of Sustain Plus GmbH and the SRH Institute for Sustainability Management and Innovation, President of the Club of Budapest Germany, and a professor of Communication Management. She has written more than 450 publications, and she has been recognised by Forbes, which named her a "Superwoman", and by HypoVereinsbank.
Her work gives businesses evidence-based methods for building sustainability into strategy, operations, and culture. She draws on her research and consultancy to help leaders anticipate market shifts, plan for disruption, and make decisions that hold up with customers, employees, and regulators who expect more from the organisations they deal with.
Audiences leave with practical frameworks for embedding sustainability across an organisation, a clearer view of how emerging technologies such as AI can support environmental goals, and approaches to self-leadership and team culture that help people adapt and stay productive under pressure.
Anabel suits leadership conferences, sustainability summits, and strategy days where the audience needs research-backed direction on future trends and a clear route from ambition to action.
Topics, sessions and talks
Retaining good people depends on whether they feel they belong. Anabel Ternès shows how psychological safety and real team cohesion keep employees committed for the long term, and how purpose-driven leadership attracts talent by connecting people to the organisation's mission. Drawing on her academic and consultancy work, she sets out what inclusive workplaces do differently. Leaders leave with practical strategies for building belonging, raising engagement, and keeping the people their organisation can least afford to lose.
Mental agility, creativity, and resilience are the skills that help people and organisations handle crisis and constant change. Anabel Ternès uses her mindshift framework to show how teams can move past inertia and treat adaptability as a competitive edge. She connects this to digital transformation, purpose, and sustainability, showing how the three work together to build organisations that last. Leaders come away with practical ways to strengthen adaptability and resilience across their teams.
Disruptive technologies such as AI, deep tech, and virtual reality are reshaping how businesses operate and compete. Anabel Ternès maps where these technologies create real opportunity, using her strategic opportunity mapping framework to help organisations decide where to invest and what to future-proof. She also examines digital ethics and the governance leaders need to use technology responsibly. The session gives leaders a clearer view of emerging tech and a practical way to position their organisation for what comes next.
Leaders who can't manage themselves struggle to lead others. Anabel Ternès treats self-leadership as a core leadership skill and introduces her energy architecture approach, which links nutrition, movement, and mindfulness to consistent high performance. She shows how these habits protect focus and stamina under pressure. Leaders and teams come away with practical steps to strengthen their self-leadership and manage their energy for better productivity at work and at home.
Digital waste, ESG reporting, and greenwashing are now board-level concerns. Anabel Ternès shows how digital decluttering cuts data waste and improves resource efficiency, and how transparent ESG reporting builds trust with investors, customers, and employees. She sets out how to put genuine sustainability into practice so it delivers both environmental and financial returns. Leaders leave with actionable steps to improve resource efficiency, strengthen ESG practice, and run sustainability initiatives that stand up to scrutiny.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
