Speaker, Author,

Change, Leadership, Attitude

Don’t mention ‘accountability’!
Here I am... bestowed by nature
with life and still I have to decide
everything on my own...«

Let’s talk.

I speak about the appetite for change and the inherent anxiety of the possible.

selected topics:

  • burnout for beginners – a leader’s quick & dirty guide
  • playground ‘life’ – the anxiety of fear
  • who’s the boss? – what’s accountabilty got to do with it
  • holy (sacred) cow! – re-thinking economy... just for kicks
  • is culture economically relevant? – an entrepreneur’s point of view
 

Fabian captivated us with a powerful blend of humor, insight, and honesty in his thought-provoking keynote.« more

Basel-based author and speaker Fabian Schmid teaches graduate students  ‘survival skills for creative people’ and consults with companies on business strategy, change management and stress prevention. He coaches clients back into their ‘lightness of being’ and speaks publicly about personal attitude, contradiction, responsibility, courage, possibility and the impact they have on life and work. In doing so, he taps deeply into his track record as internationally-acclaimed entrepreneur, designer, stage performer and proven long-term human being with first hand burnout experience.

His credo: trust your smile!

Living instead of surviving.
The simple math of lightness.

Fabian Schmids book is brilliant – A refreshingly unconventional, deep but at the same time, easy-going view on the topic of life-balance. The author’s declaration of love towards our ‘Ego’ presents itself as a comprehendable, scientifically supported reference book that enables the reader to successfully master any crisis and regain the lightness of being.«

The workshop you held some years ago during our Masters program truly changed my way of thinking. To this day, breaking patterns is not the easiest thing to do, though. But hey – awareness is the first step towards improvement, right?
Thank you so much!
I’m sure you’re changing many lives.«
