"Progress.
Done Right."
Dr. Stephan Meyer is Doctor Change. He is the keynote speaker trusted by those who want to implement change with vision. This lecturer and PhD psychologist has been working and researching in the field of change management for a quarter of a century. His motivation and vision is to empower and inspire others to embrace long-term change. His work takes him to companies that, in times of change, aim to evolve healthily and remain innovative. His doctorate provides the scientific foundation for his comprehensive and unique expertise. His strategic approach: Change must be consistent! That's why, as Dr. Change, he stands for a clean break to achieve progress.
What he conveys in his captivating presentations on successful change management is perfectly reflected in his life story: Even during his psychology studies in Würzburg, the inspiring speaker Dr. Stephan Meyer recognized that nothing is more complex than human beings and that very few people learn from their mistakes and are willing to constantly improve. Therefore, his motto from the very beginning was: "Rules of the game are there to be changed!" He transferred to RWTH Aachen University and focused his advanced studies on business psychology, researching what motivates people to be open to change.
After studying psychology, change expert and keynote speaker Dr. Stephan Meyer pursued a career at a large, internationally operating management consultancy before deciding to move into the financial sector and founding a subsidiary of a bank, similar to a startup. Since 2001, Dr. Stephan Meyer has worked independently as a public speaker and management consultant, advising corporations and SMEs in the finance, telecommunications, automotive, and pharmaceutical industries.
In his projects on modernization, digital transformation, and change management, Dr. Change consistently encounters resistance, a lack of vision, and insufficient motivation. In his presentations, which are peppered with numerous practical examples, keynote speaker Dr. Stephan Meyer demonstrates to his audience that change must be consistent, sustainable progress is only possible, and change management can only be successful if employees and managers are truly ready for it.
Through his consulting projects in the field of change management, he constantly gains fresh insights directly from the business world, which he incorporates into his practical, future-oriented, and visionary keynote speeches on the topic of change. His understanding of human nature, based on his training in psychology, allows him to communicate effectively and efficiently with people at various hierarchical levels and to present solutions to challenges. As a speaker, management consultant, and psychologist, Dr. Stephan Meyer possesses the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and vividly. Coupled with his brilliant rhetoric and a touch of humor, the change manager's presentations are genuine catalysts for motivation and a willingness to embrace change. Due to his technical aptitude and his business-oriented studies, he is considered a bridge between engineers and business professionals across various industries.
Dr. Stephan Meyer's interests extend far beyond his professional life. He is also involved in volunteer projects, such as mentoring at the University of Würzburg, hosting the GSA podcast, and participating in Mensa. As a keynote speaker on the topic of change, Dr. Meyer absorbs information, processes it, and then forms his forward-looking opinions. "Doctor Change" fundamentally rejects entrenched processes and ways of thinking, demonstrating that progress always wins.
In 2019, he decided to take another exciting career step and became a Dr. Change. He wrote his doctoral thesis at a British university on the topic of "Killing the sacred cow: Radical organizational change as seen through the eyes of change agents." For this, he interviewed change agents on four continents and even the British Secret Service. Dr. Stephan Meyer reveals how this all fits together and what we can learn from them about successful change management in his successful presentation, "The Cattle Drive of the Sacred Cows – A Clear View of the Future!"
Thanks to his forward-thinking nature, his enthusiasm for innovation, change, visions, and the future, combined with his psychological background, Dr. Stephan Meyer is a frequent guest on numerous podcasts about business and future-oriented topics. Through his own podcast, this speaker on change also discovered his passion for journalism, which is why he enjoys publishing articles for companies and trade publications. His motivation for successful change management is always evident. For Dr. Change, the credo is: Progress. Done right!
Numerous participants have confirmed it - we have rarely heard such an inspiring, enriching and thought-provoking keynote.
