Keynotes for executives in Forchheim
More than just a keynote speech
A professional keynote speaker in Forchheim sets the tone for your entire event. Whether it is an annual conference at Siemens Healthineers, a leadership meeting or a corporate event in the Nuremberg metropolitan region, the point is to turn expert knowledge into impact. What does a keynote speaker cost? Fees vary with expertise and profile. Professional speakers in Germany typically charge between €4,500 and €12,000. My fee is between €5,000 and €9,000. You are not just investing in 60 minutes of stage time, but in years of experience and the lasting motivation of your team.
Who I am
The highlight for your event
My name is Tim S. Tabrizi. As Group CEO of infoteam Software AG, owner and managing director of Ihr Coaching Institut, and previously a member of the Executive Board of WS Audiology (formerly Siemens' audiology business), I have delivered over 350 keynotes to executives from SAP, Volkswagen, Henkel and Kuraray – from Frankfurt to Tokyo to Dubai. My focus: accountability – the art of making decisions and bearing the consequences. This area of expertise combines 28 years of professional experience, including over 20 years in leadership positions, with practice on stage. As a specialist author, I regularly publish in journals such as “Arbeit und Arbeitsrecht” – on topics including toxic leadership and decision-making culture. What drives me: I don't want to entertain, I want to move people. As a keynote speaker in Forchheim, I bring this experience directly to the Nuremberg metropolitan region.
Presentations that are tailored to you and your needs
More interaction and commitment from your employees
Lasting inspiration and motivation for the audience
Bundled expertise
My cabinet of experts for your success
Behind every one of my keynotes lies not only my over 20 years of leadership experience, but also the combined intelligence of a 35-member expert pool. As part of Ihr Coaching Institut I draw on the expertise of specialists from business, sport and science when preparing your event. This synergy allows me to underpin my core topics of Accountability & decision-making culture with a depth that goes far beyond conventional motivational talks.
The three pillars of my network
Strategic toughness, mental sovereignty, scientific depth
Strategic toughness: Access to the expertise of top decision-makers such as Heinrich von Pierer (Ex-Siemens CEO).
Mental sovereignty: Methodical exchange with professionals for pressure situations such as Urs Meier (FIFA referee).
Neuroscientific depth: Scientific foundation by experts such as Dr Carlos Davidovich (Harvard Medical School Affiliate).
You book me as a speaker – and at the same time benefit from the experience of a network of 35 coaches and specialists. The insights are scientifically grounded and proven in practice.
What do I bring to the table as a keynote speaker?
What companies take away: concrete impulses for accountability, decisiveness, and leadership – not a motivational speech. I have developed this skill over 20 years on stage: in front of DAX board members, at Kuraray Europe in Hattersheim, and before sales teams at Siemens Healthineers in the Nuremberg metropolitan region. I tailor each keynote individually – to your audience, your industry, and the strategic questions currently driving your company. References: I would be happy to put you in direct contact.
Core topic: ACCOUNTABILITY & DECISION-MAKING CULTURE
My specialty as a keynote speaker for 20 years: How leaders take responsibility, make decisions, and deal with the consequences.
Related topics
Leadership
As an experienced executive and coach, I share essential knowledge for today's leaders, highlight specific requirements and provide practical tips and methods for successful team leadership. My approach encourages reflection on and development of your personal leadership style, supported by a practical presentation style.
Resilience
Success depends not only on utilising one's own strengths, but above all on consistency and dealing with losses. I offer food for thought and shed light on new aspects of crises to encourage reflection. The aim is to support you in developing inner strength and effectively utilising hidden potential in crises.
Change management
As a change expert, I use well-founded, lively presentations to make you a Change-ready professional. We look at how to embrace change successfully, overcome resistance and adapt to new trends – at the level of the organisation and of each employee. This knowledge is valuable to any organisation.
Innovation
Anyone who wants to move forward has to keep reinventing themselves. Drawing on my experience on executive boards, I show you paths to Innovation, combined with inspiring stories and strategies for your company. The aim is for you to implement ideas effectively. I teach how the balance of creativity and strategy drives growth so that you can use this dynamic to your advantage.
Speaker and expert: keynotes with substance
As a keynote speaker in Forchheim, I am available live and online, whether you are planning an in-person event or want to reach people around the world virtually. I tailor the keynote to your needs and ideas, in German and English. I use state-of-the-art technology to reach audiences online and in person. Book your keynote – on site or virtually. I am here for you.
Customised to your needs
How I prepare your event
Each of my keynotes is created anew - for your audience, your industry, your goals. Before I go on stage, I hold briefings with your team, analyse your challenges and develop content that is a perfect fit for your event. The result: not a standard presentation, but a keynote that speaks directly to your participants. At Siemens Healthineers, I focused on decision-making culture in matrix organisations. At Kuraray Europe, the focus was on accountability in intercultural teams. At Porsche, it was about leadership under pressure to change. Each time a different focus - always based on my core topic.
Expert through and through:
My expertise doesn't come from books, but from 28 years of professional experience – over 20 of them in leadership positions – in medical technology, telecommunications, and software. As a member of the Executive Board of WS Audiology (formerly Siemens' audiology business), I led teams through restructuring and oversaw international expansions. This knowledge informs every keynote address – with concrete examples from real-world practice.
Holding attention:
Before every keynote, I invest several hours in research: I read your annual reports, talk to your contacts and analyse the challenges in your industry. This enables me to give examples on stage that your audience will recognise immediately.
Immerse yourself in a new world:
My keynotes are not frontal lectures. I work with targeted questions, live reflections and moments in which the audience itself becomes active. The feedback from event managers like Maria Serova (Siemens): „The audience was captivated from start to finish.“
Closer to reality:
The test of a good keynote is not the applause, but what happens afterwards. My goal is for managers to make different decisions the next day. That's why I end every keynote with concrete impulses for action - not abstract motivational slogans, but actionable next steps.
Finding the right keynote speaker
I specialise in accountability and decision-making culture - ideal for management conferences, kick-offs, strategy meetings and change processes. If you are looking for a speaker who not only entertains your audience, but makes them think and act, we should talk. A quick phone call is all it takes to find out if I'm the right person for your event. No sales pitches - just an honest exchange.
What clients say about my keynotes
Our company faced major challenges in the area of Digitalisation. We were looking for an expert who could show us the way. Mr Tabrizi not only impressively presented his expertise, but also gave us practical tips and strategies to successfully master the digital transformation. A worthwhile investment for any company!
- Laura Kullmann, Head of IT, Porsche
I was impressed by the positive energy of the speaker, Mr Tabrizi. His personal stories, case studies and experiences showed me that you can draw strength even in difficult times. His practical tips helped me to tackle my own challenges with more confidence and determination. Thank you very much for this great experience!
- Stefan Moser, Participant, Henkel
The presentation was simply authentic, very clear and impressive! Tim's deep insights and words captivated our audience from start to finish. His expertise and passion for the subject were obvious and left a lasting impression. He seems to have been born to be on stage. We are already looking forward to the next time!
– Maria Serova, Event Manager, Siemens
As a manager, I was looking for a speaker who would motivate and inspire my team. Mr Tabrizi did just that and much more in a two-hour presentation yesterday! His experience in management and leadership opened up new perspectives and encouraged us to do more. I can only warmly recommend him as an authentic keynote speaker!
- Thomas Ruther, Managing Director, Pertzold
Our company has a long tradition of error avoidance and risk aversion. But thanks to keynote speaker Tim S. Tabrizi, we have learnt to see mistakes as an opportunity for further development. His positive approach to an active error culture has encouraged our team to be more open and try out new ideas. We are infinitely grateful to him for this and look forward to working with him in the future!
- Michael Lehmann, Team Leader, T-Systems
Exactly what your event needs:
Over 60% of my orders as a keynote speaker in Forchheim and throughout Germany come from companies that have already booked me - for other teams, other locations, other topics. The reason: I don't just deliver a good keynote, I understand what your event really needs. From the initial enquiry to the follow-up, I work closely with your team. You don't just get a speaker, but a partner who wants to make your event a success as a keynote speaker.
Thoughts that remain:
What participants say after my keynotes:
„The next day, I had my first difficult conversation that I had been putting off for months.“ - Participant, Henkel management conference. „The keynote triggered a discussion that we should have had long ago.“ - Managing Director, SME.
That is my benchmark: not standing ovations, but change in everyday life. If managers tell me weeks later what they are doing differently - then the keynote was a success.
Trust through structure: the expert network
As a keynote speaker and adviser, I work to the highest quality standards and with full transparency. My work is embedded in the expertise of Ihr Coaching Institut, a network of more than 35 specialised coaches and mentors. This backing allows me to underpin topics such as accountability and leadership with the methodological depth of an established institute.
You therefore benefit from my operational experience as Group CEO of infoteam Software AG and from the combined expertise of this network.
Innovation for your next event in Forchheim
If you are looking for a keynote speaker in Forchheim who not only enriches your event but leaves a lasting mark, you have come to the right place. I give talks that move people. Whether at the Forchheim town hall, at Siemens Healthineers, at the Kolpinghaus or anywhere in the Nuremberg metropolitan region – as a speaker in Forchheim, I combine the region's innovative strength with the can-do mentality people know here.
Many companies ask themselves how to bring new impulses into everyday business. The answer often lies in an external impulse. A keynote speaker brings exactly this fresh perspective. When you book a keynote speaker, you bring in expertise that makes seemingly complex topics simple and understandable. I meet your audience where they are and take them on a journey – digital, analogue and, above all, human.
A lecture on leadership and marketing: more than just inspiration
A keynote must not be dry theory. It has to inspire and motivate. In leadership and marketing in particular, it is becoming ever more important for companies not just to follow trends but to set them. A competent keynote speaker shows how to proceed strategically to build a successful brand.
My presentations are practical. They combine sound business knowledge with engaging delivery to ensure the messages resonate. I don't offer standard solutions, but rather ideas that your team can implement in their daily work. For events in Forchheim, I tailor the content to your company and the region in a preliminary consultation.
Digitalisation at the university and at the conference: keynotes that work
Digital transformation is the topic of our time. At universities and at every major conference or congress, participants expect inspiring keynotes that provide orientation. Digitalisation is more than technology; it is a mindset. As a keynote speaker and moderator, I bridge the gap between innovation and practice.
My keynotes are designed to take away the fear of change. A competent keynote speaker with a lasting approach leaves no questions open. Transformation becomes tangible. In Forchheim and beyond, my goal is that your guests say after the event: “That moved us forward.”

My way to the keynote speaker
Alongside 28 years of professional experience, including over 20 years in leadership roles – currently as Group CEO of infoteam Software AG, previously as a member of the Executive Board at WS Audiology (formerly Siemens' audiology business) – I have been a keynote speaker since 2006. What began as occasional presentations for industry colleagues has become my calling: to communicate complex leadership topics in a way that resonates with everyday practice. Today, I speak to DAX board members, representatives of medium-sized businesses, and international teams – from Frankfurt to Tokyo. In 2017, I received the Best Speaker Award at the BME Symposium, and in 2021, I received the same award from OptiBuy. What motivates me is not the applause, but the conversations afterward: when leaders tell me what changes they have implemented.
Publications & Expertise
I share my knowledge not only on stage. As a specialist author, I write regularly for publications such as “Arbeit und Arbeitsrecht” – on topics including toxic leadership, decision-making culture and accountability in organisations.
Selected publications:

“Recognising and acting on toxic leadership” – Arbeit und Arbeitsrecht
