Gerhard Schröder

Gerhard Schröder, ancien chancelier d'Allemagne.

Disponible pour conférence politique, économique, géopolitique.

The twice-elected leader of Germany, Chancellor GERHARD SCHRODER has been a major force on the world’s political stage for nearly a decade. Known for his charismatic delivery and unparalleled insights, Chancellor Schröder is a leading world statesman and internationally recognized authority on global relations, economic development and social change.

GERHARD SCHRODER is the first of a new generation of vibrant German leaders. He took on the newly reunited Germany and boldy ushered the world’s third largest economy into the 21st century.

A charismatic and powerful national figure, GERHARD SCHRODER was elected Chancellor in 1998. In his seven years in office, Gerhard Schröder did more to modernize Germany’s economy than had been accomplished in decades. Elected to a second term in 2002, Chancellor Schröder increased his country’s influence on a global level by not only taking strong stands on global issues, but also sending German troops to hotspots around the world; this was an enormously bold act that required changing Germany´s Constitution.

GERHARD SCHRODER was born into poverty in Northwestern Germany in 1944. His widowed mother labored on farms and as a cleaning woman to support her two children. The family lived in a wooden shack, and sometimes had to beg for food. Shunned as a child for his poor, meager appearance, he attended high school at night while working as a sales clerk. At 19, he enrolled in a night program at the law school at the University of Göttingen while working days at an ironmonger’s shop.

Meanwhile, Chancellor GERHARD SCHRODER was laying the groundwork for a career in politics. He joined the Social Democrats in 1963, and in 1978 became the federal chairman of the party´s Youth Organization. From there it was a short trip to the National Parliament, to which he was first elected in 1980.

Hailed by one German newspaper as the most charismatic German politician since Willy Brandt, Gerhard Schröder was young and optimistic, a breath of fresh air in the stodgy German Bundestag.

Moving swiftly on, GERHARD SCHRODER focused on Lower Saxony, his home and Germany´s largest federal state, in 1986 and quickly became the State´s Prime Minister. In 1998, he stood for national election and a tremendous victory catapulted him into the Chancellor´s seat.

Bertrand Piccard

Vision, innovation et créativité – Esprit pionnier et motivation–Gestion du stress, de l'inconnu et des situations de crise – Travail d'équipe et psychologie de la communication – Technologies au service de l'environnement – Politique énergétique : autant de thèmes qui s'adressent autant aux entreprises, multinationales ou privées qu'aux associations professionnelles et au grand public Communicateur dans l'âme, BERTRAND PICCARD sait traduire l'intensité de ses expériences et inspirer ses auditeurs pour transmettre les enseignements dont ils peuvent tirer profit.

« L'esprit de pionnier pour inventer le futur » : Comment accomplir ce que tout le monde croit impossible? L'interrogation est porteuse d'ouverture pour le cœur et l'esprit, alors que la certitude est une fin en soi. De la vision à la réalisation, l'innovation est un état d'esprit en dehors des paradigmes établis.

« Changer d'altitude dans les Vents de la Vie » ou « Pilotez vos affaires comme un ballon » : Le vol en ballon devient un modèle de management et même de développement personnel. Dans cette métaphore de la vie, le ballon est prisonnier des courants qui le propulsent, comme l'homme est captif de ses certitudes, de ses problèmes ou de son destin. De la même façon que le ballon peut changer d'altitude pour trouver des courants qui le feront changer de direction, l'être humain peut s'élever professionnellement, psychologiquement, philosophiquement ou même spirituellement pour redevenir responsable de la direction de son existence. Pour cela, il doit, comme dans un ballon, apprendre à lâcher le lest de ses certitudes, habitudes, points d'exclamation et autres paradigmes.

A travers le programme Solar Impulse, les technologies propres, le développement durable et la politique énergétique sont également des sujets qu'il maitrise et traite volontiers.

Son expérience de médecin psychiatre dans l'hypnose et l'autohypnose apporte un éclairage original à des évènements orientés médicalement.

Que ce soit en français, anglais ou allemand, Bertrand se sent à l'aise pour tenir son auditoire en haleine.

A la suite de son tour du monde en ballon, le Dr BERTRAND PICCARD est devenu un conférencier très apprécié du public ainsi que des grandes entreprises qui l'invitent pour s'adresser à leur direction, leurs employés ou leurs clients. Il est conscient que ses auditeurs ne sont pas là pour préparer un vol en ballon mais bien pour puiser dans son expérience une source d'inspiration pour leur vie personnelle et professionnelle.

BERTRAND PICCARD utilise en toile de fond ses voyages aériens pour développer son concept de la psychologie de la vie, de la communication humaine et du travail en équipe, de la motivation et de l'esprit de pionnier ainsi que de la gestion du stress, de l'inconnu et des situations de crise. A la demande de certains auditoires, il traite aussi de sujets orientés médicalement comme l'utilisation de l'hypnose ou de l'auto hypnose.
C'est ainsi que depuis 1992 il a animé en Amérique, en Asie, en Afrique et en Europe, plusieurs centaines de manifestations publiques ou privées.

Sous son titre phare, " L'aventure est un état d'esprit : la métaphore du premier tour du monde en ballon ", BERTRAND PICCARD explique entre autre comment le vol en ballon devient le symbole d'une nouvelle relation entre l'être humain, la technologie et la nature.
Dans cette métaphore de la vie, le ballon est prisonnier des courants qui le propulsent, comme l'homme est captif de ses certitudes, de ses problèmes ou de son destin. Mais de la même façon que le ballon peut changer d'altitude pour trouver des courants qui le feront changer de direction, l'être humain peut s'élever professionnellement, psychologiquement, philosophiquement ou même spirituellement pour redevenir responsable de la direction de son existence.

DIFFERENTS TITRES DE CONFERENCES :
- L'aventure est un état d'esprit : la métaphore du Tour du Monde en Ballon - L'importance des facteurs humains dans une entreprise technologique - Esprit d'équipe et psychologie de la communication - La communication, entre technologie et philosophie - Gestion des situations de crise - Gestion du stress - Hypnose et auto-hypnose ( pour un public intéressé par les questions médicales)

Vision, innovation and creativity. The pioneering spirit and motivation. Dealing with stress, unpredictability and crises. Team-work and the psychology of communication. Technological solutions for environmental problems. Energy policy. All topics of relevance not only for multinational and private companies, but also for professional associations and the general public.

«Pioneering spirit for inventing the future»: How can we achieve what most people think is impossible? A questioning approach yields openness of mind and heart, whereas certitude is an end in itself. From vision to implementation, innovation is a state of mind outside established paradigms.

« Changing Altitude in the Winds of Life » or « Be a balloonist in your business »: Balloon-flight becomes a model for management, and even for personal development. In this metaphor for life, the balloon is the prisoner of the airflow that propels it along, just as we are imprisoned by our certitudes, problems or destinies. Just as balloons can change altitude to find air currents that alter their direction of travel, so too human beings can elevate themselves professionally, psychologically, philosophically or even spiritually in order to re-assume responsibility for the direction their lives are taking. To do this, they must learn to jettison ballast - as in a balloon - the ballast of dogmas, ingrained habits, exclamation marks and other set norms.

Based on the Solar Impulse program, clean technologies, sustainable development and energy policy are other subjects that he masters and will be happy to speak about.

His experiences as a doctor and psychiatrist using hypnosis and autohypnosis bring a new perspective to events that have a medical orientation.

At ease speaking French, English or German, Bertrand is skilled at keeping his audiences on the edge of their seats.

BERTRAND PICCARD the Initiator and President of the Solar Impulse project, which aims to fly a solar-powered aircraft non-stop around the world.

Born into a dynasty of explorers and scientists who have conquered the heights and depths of our planet, BERTRAND PICCARD made the first ever non-stop round-the-world balloon fight. An internationally reputed psychiatrist, aeronaut and lecturer, chairman of the Winds of Hope charitable foundation, and a United Nations goodwill ambassador, he combines science and adventure in order to promote a better quality of life.

Fascinated by the study of human behaviour in extreme situations and a passionate explorer since his childhood, he was one of the pioneers of hang gliding and microlight flying in the 1970s, becoming European hang-glider acrobatics champion in 1985.

As a balloon pilot, he applied his hypnosis techniques during the first transatlantic balloon race, that he won with Belgian Wim Verstraeten. He then initiated the “Breitling Orbiter” non-stop round-the-world balloon flight project, meeting the challenge himself in March 1999, when with Englishman Brian Jones he captained the longest flight in terms of duration and distance in the history of aviation. This success projected him onto the front of the stage as a “savanturier” or scientist-adventurer.

But his concerns extend also to the least fortunate, which is why he started with Brian Jones the humanitarian Winds of Hope Foundation, which he chairs. In collaboration with the WHO, he has committed Winds of Hope in the fight against Noma through direct activities in the field, sensitizing public opinion and bringing together organizations which are fighting this terrible infectious disease. The United Nations has appointed him a goodwill ambassador of its Population Fund (UNFPA).

Developing his humanist perception of adventure, Bertrand Piccard has become a highly sought-after speaker with the business world. Since 1992 he has made several hundred public and private appearances on every continent. Taking his balloon flights as a metaphor of life, he examines motivation and the spirit of adventure, the psychology of communication and of team-working, and the management of stress and the unknown.

Following the family tradition that combines scientific exploration, protection of the environment and the search for a better quality of life, BERTRAND PICCARD came up with the idea of flying round the world in a solar aircraft, without fuel or polluting emissions, to promote renewable energies and encourage energy savings. In 2003 he teamed up with André Borschberg to officially launch the Solar Impulse project and start building a revolutionary aircraft. “The adventure of the 21st century consists in using human creativity and the pioneering spirit to develop the quality of life to which present and future generations are entitled.”

A pioneer, explorer and an innovator moving outside the customary certainties and stereotypes, BERTRAND PICCARD is first and foremost a visionary and a communicator. As chairman of Solar Impulse, he has developed the project's avant-guard philosophy and traced its symbolic reach and the policy that has convinced the financial partners of this challenge. He shares control of this enterprise with André Borschberg, just as he will share with him, alternately, the controls of the solar aircraft.
