Drag Queen for a Day
Strengthening Talents’ & Leaders’ Human Skills for the AI Era
We transform talents & leaders into drag queens to practise, experiment, and strengthen - in a safe space - the skills the AI era demands most: curiosity, creative thinking, leadership & social influence, and resilience in uncertainty.
We are guided by curiousity & play: What if…
… you could be someone completely else for one day?
… you were freed from all constraints present at work?
Transforming talents and leaders into drag queens for one day helps companies to:
Strengthen Human Skills for the AI Era
AI is reshaping work: routine tasks are increasingly automated, leaving humans to navigate complexity, ambiguity, and constant change. Thriving in this environment requires distinctly human skills — curiosity, creative thinking, leadership & social influence, and resilience in uncertainty.

Provide trainings with lasting impact
For sustainable talent development impact and talent behavior shift, truly human skills must be trained and practiced in immersive, embodied experiences — not just studied on a screen.
Unlock talents’ full potential
Talent potential is often not fully realized — not only because organizations fail to provide the right environments, but also because many individuals lack the confidence to take space and be visible. Dedicated, safe training spaces give talents the opportunity to practise courage, take risks, and strengthen their professional positioning.
Drag as an art form has a rich history in shaping courageous places for experimentation, being creative, vulnerable and questioning / reinventing norms
Drag Queens are Community Leaders & Role Models
Drag is an art form coming from a marginalized community. Drag artists and LGBTQ+ people have always had to navigate complex, ambiguous, and hostile environments — relying on community spaces and belonging, resilience, empathy, and social influence to thrive.
Drag Queens are Fierce Performers
Drag is performance at its most embodied: commanding presence, experimenting with identity, and holding an audience’s attention. These lived practices of impact, adaptability, and courage can’t be learned from theory — they have to be experienced, practised, and anchored in the body.
Drag Queens are Creative Powerhouses
Drag queens are masters of creativity and reinvention. By designing bold personas and bringing them to life, they demonstrate how hidden potential can be activated and celebrated. The same process helps business talents step out of conformity, practise visibility, and turn their own potential into performance.
We ask our particpants to reflect and design an own drag character.
We meet in a club with a real stage, mics and show effects to create an alternative, safer world for exploration.
We reflect in groups. We’re all students and teachers. Empathic listeners. Courageous and vulnerable contributors.
Our drag artsists transform everyone into a drag queen. 2h. 1:1. An intimate dialogue between business and art.
We play to explore our embodied cognition.
Once in character, we work. We design the exercises according to your business need.
We celebrate each other. We celebrate being courageous.
