Speaker of the day: Bertrand Piccard — Creativity and Innovation

Bertrand Piccard needs no introduction.

This Swiss visionary, who has made disruption a way of life, embodies 3 facets: he is a psychiatrist, an explorer, and a speaker.

Whether for conferences in the field of innovation and creativity or that of science and medicine, Bertrand Piccard will address his audience in a way that instills his entrepreneurial spirit in everyone. Through his experience and his philosophy, he always inspires his audience and unfailingly transmits the lessons he has learned from his career. Among other things, a United Nations Ambassador for the Environment, President of the Winds of Hope foundation which fights against Noma, and initiator, president, and pilot of Solar Impulse, he is above all a peerless visionary and communicator who combines scientific achievements with an objective focused on environmental protection.

Moreover, as a psychiatrist, Bertrand Piccard has implemented internal strategies, such as self-hypnosis, to create the necessary conditions for success. He applies this personally, but also to tackle exploration challenges, such as the round-the-world balloon flight in 1999. He understood that this could help him surpass his mere physical capabilities and guarantee him success.

These are the techniques that we offer you to acquire with UnoMe.
