Every valuable day begins not with a plan, but with attention. Attention to what we bring with us. Attention to what we hope to create. In this short but intentional moment, we’ll align not just our schedules, but our presence. Because when clarity meets curiosity, the day unfolds differently  with more meaning, more connection, and more possibility.

Future is shaped not just by our actions, but also by our apathy

The conversation will also encourage reflection on the place of coaching amid uncertainty and the ever-emerging new questions that shape our times.

Presentation: Burn the Map: Leadership Beyond the Known

(Presentation in English)

The pace of change has outgrown every map we’ve drawn. Markets shift overnight, technologies rewrite the rules, and the frameworks that once guided success are losing their power to predict what’s next.

In this era of disruption, the greatest risk isn’t making a wrong move – it’s following a map that no longer fits the terrain.

Burn the Map: Leadership Beyond the Known challenges executives to rethink what leadership means when certainty disappears. It’s a call to step beyond strategy-as-usual, to lead with curiosity, empathy, and conviction when the future refuses to stay still.

This keynote explores how to make bold decisions with incomplete information, inspire confidence amid chaos, and build cultures that can navigate ambiguity with purpose and resilience. Because the leaders who define the next decade won’t be those who follow the map – they’ll be the ones brave enough to burn it.

The Paradox of Organizational Uncertainty
(Presentation in Lithuanian with simultaneous interpretation into English)

Ugnius observes that today, uncertainty in business is no longer a temporary disruption. It has become the new normal of organizational life.
Leaders, executives, and boards continue to seek clarity, yet it is precisely through continuous uncertainty that the space for creativity, conscious choice, and long-term value creation emerges.

In this session, Ugnius Savickas will share insights and invite participants to explore how leaders can shift from the illusion of control to genuine resilience, transforming uncertainty from an enemy into an ally.

Can We Learn Resilience Without Preparing for War?

The geopolitical situation has placed us just 30 kilometers from the border with an enemy. For the fourth consecutive year, the full-scale war has demanded endurance and resilience not only from those on the front lines but also from peaceful citizens — a demand that not everyone can meet.

Tension, fear, and insufficient preparation for extreme situations drive many to choose one of two extremes: drowning in the endless flood of information with no regard for mental hygiene, or completely disconnecting from any news related to war and conflict.

And yet — does a middle path exist? One where citizens can consciously build emotional and psychological resilience without feeding fear and panic in themselves or those around them?

How a Fan of the May 9 Parade Became a Lithuanian Rifleman

How does a May 9 parade enthusiast become a defender of Lithuania?
Darius’s story raises the essential questions every leader — and every person — faces when the world turns unpredictable: “To defend or to withdraw? How to defend? How to withdraw? What does conscious choice truly mean?”

He invites us to explore these questions not only through a civic lens but also through one of inner awareness — the ability to remain faithful to one’s values even amid uncertainty.

Darius’s story stands as a living example that uncertainty does not have to be a threat — it can be a space for conscious choice and value-driven action.

What You Discover When You Choose Uncertainty

Every moment of uncertainty calls for a choice — to freeze or to move forward.

Smiltė’s story is about consciously choosing to act even when clarity is absent, about staying true to one’s values, and about discovering that courage itself becomes a path toward inner resilience and service to others.

Through her personal experience, Smiltė reveals how uncertainty can become not a source of fear, but a space to rediscover oneself — as a person, a mother, a leader, and a citizen.
It is a story about the courage to remain open when the future is unclear, and about the inner stillness from which meaningful action is born.

Does coaching still hold value in the face of such devastating realities?
And if it does, how must we adapt to protect our clients’ dignity, the integrity of our profession, and the meaning of our work in times of war?

Coaching as a Disciplined Process of Inquiry – a structured, dialogical practice where new knowledge and transformation are born through action.

(Presentation in Lithuanian with simultaneous interpretation into English)

Coaching is most often introduced as a professional helping practice, evaluated by outcomes or competencies. Yet, when we look deeper, coaching can also be seen as a disciplined process of inquiry – a structured, dialogical approach through which new insights and transformation emerge in the very act of doing.

This presentation explores coaching not only as an applied practice but also as a research methodology, belonging to the broader family of Action Research approaches.

From this perspective, the client becomes a first-person researcher, exploring their lived experience through reflection, experimentation, and embodied action. In this way, they generate first-hand knowledge. Knowledge that can be observed, tested, and continually refined through practice.

Meanwhile, the coaching professional engages in second- and third-person inquiry, examining human transformation through multiple collaborative experiences and contributing to the collective body of knowledge about the processes of change.

This approach situates coaching within a participatory epistemology, a way of knowing that arises in relationship and practice, rather than through detached observation or abstraction. It challenges the narrow view that only “scientific” – quantitative or experimental – knowledge is valuable, and reminds us that human understanding also grows through reflective, experiential, and dialogical processes.

By reinterpreting coaching as a form of action research, we reconnect practice and science, reviving the philosophical roots of knowledge traditions – where knowing and being, theory and action, reflection and transformation are inseparable.

This presentation invites participants to see coaching as both a scientific and practical process of inquiry – one that can expand our understanding of how change and knowledge truly emerge.

Uncertainty as a Leadership Laboratory

(Presentation in Lithuanian with simultaneous interpretation into English)

What if uncertainty were not a risk to be managed, but a laboratory for leadership growth?

In this perspective, coaching becomes more than a tool for support — it becomes a space for emergence, where unanswered questions, silence, and not-knowing evolve into conscious choices and new levels of leadership presence.

This session invites participants to explore:

• How does uncertainty reshape our understanding of modern leadership?
• What does coaching reveal to leaders (and coaches) when faced with the “I don’t know” state?
• Real-life examples: moments in coaching sessions or leadership practice where uncertainty became discovery.
• What does it mean to be “comfortable with not knowing” in coaching practice?
• How can a coach help a leader grow through the space of “unanswered questions”?
