Cherno Jobatey is not just a speaker – he is a rumbling wake-up call! His mission? To throw you out of the comfort zone in which you have made yourself far too comfortable. Jobatey dances through his stories with an energy that will wake up even the morning grouch in the back row.
Boundaries? What boundaries? Cherno Jobatey’s shake-up call
With a mixture of charisma, cheeky humor and that “you-can-do-it” sparkle in his eyes, Cherno Jobatey has already convinced hundreds of listeners that there are no obstacles – only self-imposed limits, inherited social conditioning and definitely their own bad excuses.
“Your problem? You’re waiting for the right moment! Spoiler: The moment is waiting for you!” Sentences like this don’t just make the audience nod, they want to jump up and tear down trees.
Motivation through entertainment
Cherno Jobatey’s ‚Motivational Speech’ is a mixture of entertainment, thought-provoking, comedy, reality check and that “Damn, he’s right!” moment. He doesn’t just give you motivational injections, but a whole tank of gas to finally get you going – whether at work, in sport or with the “Life 2.0” project.
And don’t worry, it’s not just about pretty words. His stories from real life, from his own life, are living proof: you see boundaries, there are boundaries! But: can it be that only you see these limits? Who actually said what you can or should do? Did you go down with a bang? OK, if you fail, you can get up again – and in style!
Cherno Jobatey inspires by living example
Cherno Jobatey is not the type who just talks. He lives what he preaches. And he explains what it takes to get on stage in Las Vegas as a native Berliner, what it takes to break through glass ceilings. He was the first black man to land a job on German television. His energy is infectious, his message clear: you can do more than you give yourself credit for. And even if you still have doubts today, you will leave his lecture with the feeling: “Challenge accepted!”
Nobody can do everything alone. Give and take impulses!
Sometimes you need a nudge. In Cherno Jobatey’s case, it was a brief encounter with a Mr. Schwarzenberger that changed his life. And Jobatey is also convinced that everyone should pass on the baton. There’s certainly someone around us who needs a push. Jobatey then no longer needs to point out why this is also good for you: “Give, and it will be given to you.” Anyone listening to him has already inhaled this anyway.
Cherno Jobatey doesn’t deliver a boring motivational routine, but an adrenaline rush on stage. No babbling. No bullshit.
Cherno Jobatey means 100% inspiration – with a twinkle in his eye.
