Switzerland is a country where precision meets possibility, where world-leading companies, global institutions, and visionary entrepreneurs converge to design solutions for tomorrow. From Zurich’s financial corridors and Geneva’s international organizations to Basel’s healthcare giants and Lausanne’s innovation clusters, Switzerland is an epicenter for global conversations. Into this unique landscape steps Nick Jankel—an internationally acclaimed keynote speaker who connects scientific insight with inspirational storytelling to spark breakthrough thinking.

A Cambridge-educated physician turned leadership expert, Nick has spent over 25 years helping organizations and executives navigate transformation. His keynotes, customized for Swiss audiences, deliver more than motivation—they empower leaders with frameworks, tools, and inspiration to drive real-world change in industries as diverse as finance, healthcare, diplomacy, sustainability, and technology.

When Switzerland gathers to share ideas, expectations are high. Audiences here want more than uplifting words; they demand substance, credibility, and actionable wisdom that matches the country’s culture of excellence. Nick delivers exactly that—through a fusion of cutting-edge neuroscience, systems thinking, and his Breakthrough Biodynamics® (BTX®) methodology, which has already empowered over 100,000 leaders worldwide.

Having collaborated with multinationals like Novartis and Nestlé, guided executives in Silicon Valley, and advised government leaders in Europe, Nick brings both global perspective and local resonance. His ability to speak fluently across sectors—finance, pharmaceuticals, education, sustainability, and creative industries—ensures every keynote is a match for Switzerland’s cross-disciplinary culture.

From the grand halls of Zurich’s Kongresshaus and the historic Beaulieu in Lausanne to the world-renowned stages of Geneva’s Palexpo and Basel’s Congress Center, Switzerland’s venues attract leaders from every continent. These aren’t just meeting places—they’re crossroads of innovation and diplomacy, where bold strategies are shaped and world-changing initiatives are launched. Nick’s keynotes bring clarity and energy to these stages, helping participants not only think differently but also act decisively.

Whether he is addressing senior executives at a multinational headquarters, speaking to policymakers at an international summit, or inspiring entrepreneurs at a tech forum, Nick adapts his content to amplify the goals of every event. Each keynote is tailored to reflect the priorities of the host city—financial foresight in Zurich, global collaboration in Geneva, scientific innovation in Basel, or entrepreneurial energy in Lausanne.

Nick’s talks stand out because they blend intellectual depth with emotional connection. He does not offer generic pep talks; instead, he translates complex science into accessible insights and pairs them with compelling stories that stay with audiences long after the event ends. His work is rooted in rigorous research yet always aimed at practical application—helping leaders shift mindsets, spark creativity, and ignite sustainable growth.

Swiss audiences, known for their discerning standards and appreciation of excellence, find in Nick a partner who respects their intelligence while challenging them to reimagine the future. His mission is not just to inspire but to equip—ensuring every attendee leaves with both the motivation and the methods to lead change.

His rare ability to dazzle minds, move hearts, and catalyze transformation means audiences leave not only inspired but empowered—ready to innovate, collaborate, and lead with confidence in an uncertain world.
