Robert Schiller

Robert Schiller, PhD., from Zurich, business mentor, author, trainer and lecturer.

"At 20, I dreamed of being an entertainer. Instead, I embarked on a career in business. At 35, I was professionally successful. But I felt I had to go my own way. But which? I had no idea. At 45, I became a crisis manager; not for the joy in the work, but in order to help others.  In my spare time, I wrote a doctoral thesis on the topic of leadership. For the first time, I fulfilled a long-held desire of mine. I took the plunge into self-employment, which allowed me to create a suitable environment. At 55, I become a business mentor and author. Finally, I had found that what truly inspired me. Soon after, I discovered karate. Today, I am doing what I had been longing for, not knowing how to express it: Practicing, writing and passing on leadership essence. A dream come true."
