SUMMARY:Author Talk: Former AGCO Chairman and CEO Martin Richenhagen Discusses 'The America Whisperer' at the Goethe-Zentrum
DESCRIPTION:Doing business in the world’s largest economy can be hard\, especially as an outsider. Martin Richenhagen\, the longtime chairman and CEO of Atlanta-based tractor manufacturer AGCO Corp.\, and former Chairman of the German American Chamber of Commerce Southeast (GACC)\, used his deep corporate experience and hard-won cross-cultural expertise to crack the code on working with Americans\, for a time serving as the only German-born chief executive of a Fortune 500 company and leading the global enterprise to new heights.  \nJoin Global Atlanta\, Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta\, and the German American Chamber of Commerce Southeast\, for an interactive discussion with Mr. Richenhagen on his German-language book\, Der Amerika-Flüsterer: Mein Weg vom deutschen Religionslehrer zum US-Topmanager (The America Whisperer: My Journey from Religion Teacher to U.S. Executive). In conversation with Managing Editor Trevor Williams\, Mr. Richenhagen will reflect on his personal experiences while offering thoughts on the current transatlantic business and trade climate.  \nWhile the meat of the discussion will be in English\, welcoming remarks will be offered in German\, along with readings in German from the text and a bilingual Q&A — Mr. Richenhagen will answer in the language in which the question is asked —  in keeping with the spirit of the book and the mission of the Goethe-Zentrum\, Atlanta’s German cultural center and language institute\, which will hold a grand opening on its new downtown offices just days before our event. \nIn addition to his German roots\, Mr. Richenhagen is a fluent French speaker who has been knighted by the French government for his contributions to the spread of French language and culture.

SUMMARY:Democracy and Authoritarianism in Pakistan’s Electoral Landscape
DESCRIPTION:The World Affairs Council of Atlanta hosts Arif Alvi\, MD\, former President of Pakistan\, for an intimate dialogue about the state of democracy in the country with the world’s 5th largest population. \n\n\n\nPakistan’s democratic development and political stability continue to face significant challenges due to entrenched military interests within the government and widespread public distrust in the electoral process. The 2024 elections were particularly problematic\, with substantial delays in the release of official results\, leading to widespread allegations of rigging and vote manipulation. Election periods are often marred by violence and security threats\, including attacks by militant groups like the Islamic State targeting election offices. The political landscape remains highly volatile\, marked by frequent legal disputes and the arrest of prominent figures such as former Prime Minister Imran Khan\, which has sparked widespread protests and further instability. Additionally\, Pakistan’s military has increasingly consolidated its control over government leaders and functions\, further complicating efforts to achieve democratic governance and political stability.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:A Conversation with Ahmet Bozer\, Author of Soulgery: Self-Surgery of the Soul
DESCRIPTION:In this in-depth dialogue with Ahmet Bozer\, former senior Coca-Cola executive\, about his book Soulgery: A Lifelong Guide to Unlocking Your Potential\, the discussion will explore Bozer’s unique framework that challenges conventional self-help by identifying the “sense of self”—our collection of thoughts about ourselves—as both necessary and potentially limiting to growth. Drawing from 20+ years in global business leadership and incorporating Sufism\, Eastern philosophy\, and cross-cultural insights\, Bozer presents a four-act structure for personal transformation. The discussion examines both philosophical foundations and practical applications of managing one’s psyche while balancing self-reflection with collaborative growth. \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways: \n\n\n\n1. Reframing the Self-Concept: Participants will learn why managing (rather than building) the sense of self unlocks greater potential\, and how to distinguish between healthy self-awareness and ego-driven limitations that prevent doing what is right. \n\n\n\n2. Cross-Cultural Leadership Insights: Listeners will benefit from Bozer’s international business experience\, gaining practical wisdom on how cultural contexts shape ego and privilege\, and how these dynamics impact leadership effectiveness globally. \n\n\n\n3. Actionable Framework for Daily Practice: The conversation provides concrete guidance on implementing the four-act Soulgery framework in busy lives\, including how to balance introspection with collaboration and integrate practices like “smart bias for positivity” without adding stress. \n\n\n\nThis webinar is FREE and open to all\, but registration is required. Zoom details will be sent to all registered participants. \n\n\n\nFeatured Speaker\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAhmet Bozer\, Former EVP Coca-Cola Company\nAfter a career spanning continents\, cultures\, and decades\, Ahmet Bozer has turned his focus to a deeper exploration of unlocking human potential at scale. Drawing on his extensive experiences\, he has developed an innovative\, actionable model for personal and professional growth\, introduced in his book Soulgery (now available). The name Soulgery is inspired by the idea that each person can perform a kind of “self-surgery” on the soul—not to suggest operating on it literally\, but to encourage connecting with it by managing thoughts\, emotions\, and mental models. \n\n\n\nSoulgery offers an organic yet transformative way to accelerate growth through the natural course of everyday life. Designed to resonate across cultures and worldviews\, the framework empowers individuals to chart their own unique course. By honoring the human capacity to grow on one’s own terms\, Soulgery builds a living foundation for unlocking human potential at scale. \n\n\n\nCareer Highlights: \n\n\n\n\n25 years at The Coca-Cola Company\, largely in strategic leadership roles\n\n\n\nServed as President of Coca-Cola International\, overseeing all operations outside North America\n\n\n\nAs Group President of Eurasia and Africa\, led key markets such as India\, Russia\, the Caucasus\, Central Asia\, Türkiye\, the Middle East\, and Africa\n\n\n\nChaired the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU) and the Brazil-U.S.\, U.S.-Pakistan\, and U.S.-Turkey Business Councils\n\n\n\n\nEarlier in his career\, Bozer worked in the computer auditing practice at Coopers & Lybrand and taught as an assistant professor at the DeVry Institute of Technology. \n\n\n\nHe currently serves on the Advisory Board of Swire Coca-Cola\, the J. Mack Robinson College of Business at Georgia State University\, and on the Board of Directors of the Turkish Philanthropy Funds. His past board roles include Coca-Cola Hellenic\, HepsiBurada\, and ESAS Holding. \n\n\n\nBorn in Istanbul\, Bozer earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Middle East Technical University (Ankara) before moving to the United States in 1981\, where he completed a Master’s in Business Information Systems at Georgia State University. He now lives in Georgia with his wife\, Fatos\, and their two children\, Kerem and Esra. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister
