qunad good evening I have a gift for you

to begin

please stand up please

and now we are going to do

all together a great breath

but really and again one more and

is now six and you if you

please

and now done

thank you that allowed me to

connect to you because the first

thing if we want to be good together

it’s very good together with yourself

is what we forget too much is that we

have a body and this body is part

of our life

they carry us they support us and

tells us a lot of things and makes

already several times a day

great breaths followed by a big

what am I doing well thanks my

body and you will already be better with

yourself and as I will expose you

to be better with oneself is also

to be better with others then I am

I asked the question when I arrived here

what is my intention what am I

would like to share with you so everything

first my love and my passion for

the human being is actually nothing after

meant to be doing what I

do today because in my

first professional life I was

German banker

I learned to dissect balance sheets

analyze balance sheets gave to grant

credit or denying funds

is actually today

so here I was taking care of the money

today I do art jean I

take care of what fascinates me

how to live together better like lyon

how to work better together and

I made a long journey

since then my entry into life

professional in 75

because I’m actually like obelix

fell into the magic skin I am

fallen into the cultural gap

so how did it go because

in fact

in 1981 I left for this bank

for which I worked in Paris and

all of a sudden I was exposed I

did not speak French very well

I was exposed to the differences

which I did not expect for example

the French speak all the time of

overall exact to the Swiss

not understand what the exact

global it’s not going together and me in

as a German it was the same

I analyzed a balance sheet for me it was

had to really be aware Picnic

close and my French colleague opposite

he had several millions of

difference of the must is not serious

it is generally correct the French

also speak of globally positive and

that’s the magic word that I learned

in France at first it bothered me

but in fine and I can say that it has me

accompanied all my life this magic word

overall and so it’s a bit

the entry into what I

would like to share with you through

cultures go to oneself to

go towards self-cultivation and so

let’s start with the relationship so to

starting my belief was the relationships

if we understand the cultural difference

then the relationships are going better like

you will see this is only part

Of the history

so my story started to

change because I was a banker in

this bank in paris place of opera

for six to seven months and all of a sudden

there is a french french colleagues

who come to see me saying you run

you can not help me because there with

German colleagues I can not do it

we do not understand each other and I said but

how do you not understand because you

not very good german ready it’s not

a language issue it’s a

culture question I do not know I

but why do you come to see me

I am German as he said no

no no you’re not german it’s

why are you nice

well that’s where I started

understand that in France the relations

are different than in germany because

that first 24 years years of my

life i lived in germany

relationships were what we

let’s learn very factual so says to a

French what is relations

fract factual even here in romandie

I have the same problem because we

does not distinguish the human being from the

thing

houda of the work we are doing now

to explain how far

can be OK

a few years ago I was doing a

speech in Germany a conference

in front of scientists and I speak

a lot with metaphors I use

a lot of humor and so I saw that

scientists were pretty

skeptical

and then at the end of the lecture

I had polite applause and

then there is a scientist they

up have said sir the grinder you

apparently have a lot of success

with what you say but I do not

you’re not it maybe works in

practice but never in theory to

the factual relationship what does it mean

we have in germany which sequences

of work and sequences of life

after 5 to 5 hours we have a

magic word called fayyad

you’ve heard this word here

party night

but when I went to France we

did not understand this word what is it

mean french told me but actually

at 5 o’clock the German mutual beings

humans

it’s a force of German culture

to distinguish the relationship is to

work very hard and also

to argue two ways to reduce

but factually up to 5 hours

then we hit on the shoulder

we’re going to drink a beer together

fun like crazy and at 8am the

next day we are banging

again on the subject that we

contrasts with it’s this conditioning

because culture is a

conditioning i’m leaving for paris and

there I get to something else here if he

is not the skill or

the experience that counts is a lot

more power units for example

fifteen years ago one of

entrepreneurs or ten-year-old chef

of the most famous companies was the

ceo from the deutsche bank called

was called shredder and I can tell you

at that time when I was going in

evenings or cocktails and I get

present your own peta crusher the

people were almost on your guard

in front of me telling me ah you have some

relations with Mr. Mr. roya of

the deutsche bank

if yes it’s my uncle but when I

tell them no it was a joke

before France is a country where he

must have power to be able to have

negotiated for example so if you have

his unit of power and the other only has

80 but you are not negotiating because

you have the power as you come

from a community countries like

Germany or here in Switzerland it’s

incomprehensible

but that’s the way it is now when

even a way to fix that and

that’s the spirit

if you have no power the only

way of working french wild

to be good with them is to do

mind I give you an example

I was in Paris at a customer’s

recently I was slightly in

Swiss and I was asking this gentleman me

present at the coffee machine at

others they live at the street raimbault

elsewhere he’s a German who has lived

in Paris

and now he is in Switzerland and what is

what you are told

France to you left with our

treasure says ah yes of course I

took my wife very well and all of

following the mood has changed so there

it is the complicity that this cry

secret relationship through complicity

in Switzerland it is the country of consensus

we’ll go gently sajoo for you

so when you come from France you

are a little disturbed for for against

what is he always nice but

I do not see at all then

now I’m going to take you to a

another country is the country of yourself

because I believed that cultures

was the main obstacle to the

understanding of each other that lasted and

finally I discovered that this is the

personal culture that was most

important is it the surprise

I brought you today is

to discover you three countries three

colors and that’s where you go

cardboard that you will have you will be able

use right now

in fact you have the blue country in a

blue country we like anticipated we like

planned we like to master in the

country towards we like to act together is the

relationship that is important the

sincere communication and

friendliness

Then there is the last country is the country

reds act quickly take the

risks and obtain very quickly

concrete results

you have certainly already made your

choice

in which country

if you had the choice knowing that you

have the three countries in you there are

no one here in the room who is

only in a country if you have the

choice

what country are you in which

you preferred to live act to work

and so I invite you now

discover your own as soon as the

trigger button that make you act

who motivates you

so I really give you 10 seconds

the v your your card we can can

to be put a little light here

and see if some if the sai are a

3 go very very little red

a lot of greens and your blows of blue

and welcome to Switzerland because

if I do the same exercise in

la France

in your opinion what will go up

more than that here well I wanted to do

I wanted to make you do a little

exercise but time is running out

unfortunately but it does not matter I

will explain to you because I wanted

to make you meet you

find the same color and

to talk about you went to

ikea you bought a piece of furniture and

now you are at home where

you will build this furniture in a country

blue how do you do in a green country

as we do and in a red country

so let’s start with the blue ones

blue will take cardboard

gently open it out the mode

job

read the instructions for use levis

account and levis

and when there is a life what is missing

so ikea but mostly not start to

to assemble the furniture because we do not have the

means to mount the furniture the red

so they go up from cartons slams

they open quickly they come out or the

manual

I will do it myself because I

am very smart it’s okay

much faster like that and in twenty

minutes they miss they show the

furniture except that it’s a little good because

even if the French is not

serious is overall hockey in Switzerland

it’s not going in Switzerland it must be

still accurate says red in Switzerland

he says for ikea it’s really more what

that it was a and so claim can

look at yourself in yours carton

now the name of everything I already have

I was the cardboard boy but look

but he will watch he finds the screw

missing is a little fast now the

green they go out with the bars the

cardboard but whose car is already

in the car what are they doing to

water buddies I have a crate of

beer

you come up the furniture with me

that’s what I’m saying here about

throne ohmori stick is a problem to

becomes a problem where he is not a

problem when everything is fine but soon

that there are conflicts of interest as soon as

that there are tensions but we have a

problem of working together

there is no point in waiting for

yeah that’s red

nothing serves to run it must

think before acting

then there is the green that come in

saying why argue let’s take

first a glass three worlds 3 heels

three different ways of working

together

problem is that these cooperations

can become case to operations and there

it gives rise to emotional virals

and when the other falls off but actually

he is not very good but I am

glad that the other falls

we call his return to

protective intelligence be good to them

together with each other it’s first

to be well together with oneself

I would like to avoid you guest

today is to discover your

trigger button whether it’s Swiss

thai english american

Chinese

so we have bus button

cultural trigger and that’s very

good

there is no judgment possible on it

because a culture works

always very well in his own

cultural environment except that when we

will work together and this stress all

a stroke all these differences can

become the obstacles and take

awareness that is what triggers

what motivates me

what is my talent in relation to

the other you and a few to be better

with each other because the other is a

chance to make peace with you

even more you are aware of yourself

even better you will be with each other and

I would like to reveal to you to finish

the phrase that has accompanied me since I

believe it was 86 because I

heard this sentence and that’s my

last gift for you if you

respect this sentence you will see

it will change your life

what you disturb the other is

not clear on 3 bronze and always like

you point a finger at each other you

point three fingers at yourself

thank you very much

[Applause]
