Keynote: Get out of the endless loop! Routine is no fun
Millions know him as the charming host of Germany’s Saturday night candid camera TV-classic „Do you understand fun?”. But behind the camera Cherno Jobatey understands one thing above all: the art of change. With his captivating keynote, the German speaker with cult status brings to the stage exactly what many people urgently need – real change. Breaking out of fixed routines combined with a good dose of fun! Because the greatest show in life doesn’t flicker across the TV screen on Saturday nights, it happens every day – and we are right in the middle of it.
The biggest show is set in real life – life is about making decisions
But for most of us, it’s like a constant rerun program with the repeat button pressed! Sounds like boredom? Exactly. And that would make it the natural enemy of all innovation and change. In his energetic talk, Cherno Jobatey takes us on a fast-forward journey and shows what becomes possible when we give our own routine a kick. Because then real decisions are possible that fill our lives with fun, happiness and joie de vivre. This makes every change a blast!
Change can go bang – and be fun! Decisions are fun too!
Jobatey knows that if you want change, you don’t have to turn everything upside down. But you do have to free your mind from clinging to your routines. So: get out of the hamster wheel and into real life!
New thinking instead of clinging on – innovation brings happiness
Jobatey himself has often experienced that change does not automatically mean making mistakes but can also be a stage for innovation. In politics, in the media landscape, on the big show stage – time and again – he was faced with the decision: run with it or start running taking off? He opted for the latter. And all those who allow themselves to be carried away by his presentation now benefit from this.
Change with charm instead of chaos with a checklist
Cherno Jobatey gives the term change a makeover with his talk. He dispels the fear of the new, reveals the hidden moments of happiness behind courageous decisions and shows how everyone can have fun with change. Instead of seeing change as chaos that makes us lose our footing, he turns it into a flight of fancy into self-determined action. Because if you rely on your routines, you miss out on life.
Desire for life instead of boredom – Joie de vivre
This lecture is not for sitting giants, but for stand-up people. For everyone who wants to enjoy life again instead of being on a continuous loop. Who want to have fun not just at the weekend. Who feel that innovation only comes about where people decide to change – and don’t want to leave happiness to chance.
Cherno Jobatey provides encouragement, without any finger-wagging, but with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humor. A lecture for all those who feel deep inside: there’s more to it
