Many things were ventured at the 50th Wirz Cocktail

On Tuesday evening, Livio Dainese and Petra Dreyfus welcomed the 300 or so guests to the 50th edition of the Wirz Cocktail with their usual charm. The co-CEOs of Wirz humorously confessed to being the opposite of risk-takers: they still lived in the same canton where they grew up and had both been with Wirz for a long time. But the work with the customers would already be characterized by ventures: Breaking new ground, the courage to take risks. Both live this in their profession. This year's motto was a perfect match: getting a tattoo - live on stage. A short time later, Nicole Pongracz from the SBB actually had herself tattooed live by the tattoo artist Luna during the podium.

Meanwhile, the guests of the panel talk on the stage. These are: Christian Aeby, Priska Amstutz, Bernhard Heusler and Lutz Jänke. All four have dared something in life. The lessons learned: Whoever dares, and does not win, has nevertheless learned something that is valuable for moving forward. That can make you proud. Experience is also a gain. Host Mona Vetsch leads the conversation in a cheerful and relaxed manner.

Finally, all four guests make a statement on the subject of new beginnings: According to Christian Aeby, curiosity is needed to try out new paths. Priska Amstutz contrasts small needs for security with a great willingness to take risks. Lutz Jäncke advocates avoiding boredom. Otherwise the brain breaks down. And according to Bernhard Heusler, it needs the greed for something new.

After the podium and during the Apero Riche, two Wirz jokers hand out inspiration cards that invite you to step out of your comfort zone. Tip on my card: Learn a Tiktok dance by heart and film yourself doing it! You can also get a tattoo at the Apéro Riche afterwards. An inspiring evening.
