Vita

Babak Rafati, a banker in a management position, was a FIFA and Bundesliga referee in professional football for many years. After the tragic suicide of national goalkeeper Robert Enke, his suicide attempt in 2011 also shocked the public and sent the entire Bundesliga into shock. Since his recovery, he has regularly worked as a keynote speaker in the private sector and at management conferences, as well as a mental coach. He is also a very popular guest on numerous TV appearances. In his extremely authentic and captivating lectures, Babak Rafati describes his deeply abysmal path of dramaturgy of "removing yourself from yourself" in a ruthless and self-critical manner. Finally, he conveys valuable prevention strategies against burnout for everyone and provides crucial impulses for stress management. Self-determination and personal responsibility are the key to success and the basis for a harmonious work-life balance. Pressure to perform, bullying and burnout are not just a problem in elite sport, but rather a social phenomenon in everyday working life, which also affects managers. A motivational speech that looks at it from a different perspective. Captivating and at the same time moving!
