“1995. I work for Accenture, an American management consultancy. Assignments in Switzerland, Germany, France, USA. The same picture everywhere. Lots of boring, sometimes lousy presentations with and without PowerPoint. A sabbatical after six years. A year off. Decision: I will follow the example of my father and brother. Both have successfully founded their own company. My vision: Only exciting, informative and convincing speeches and presentations are given in this world. ”

Thomas Skipwith, founder and managing director

The above story laid the foundation for the DESCUBRIS institute. It started in 2002. The DESCUBRIS institute was founded in Zurich. Today the headquarters are 15 minutes west of Zurich in Oberwil-Lieli.

The trainers of the DESCUBRIS institute are regularly presenting on stage and online. This way they gain hands-on experience and try out the latest ideas themselves. They pass on these experiences and the most proven insights to the participants in an entertaining way. Since the institute was founded, thousands have attended our lectures, rhetoric coaching and rhetoric courses.

The name of the institute comes from Spanish. “Descubrir” means “to discover”. Just like “Découvrir” in French and “discover” in English. The name of the institute is an invitation to the participants: They should take the opportunity to put old things aside, to discover something new, to question old habits and to try out new techniques.

The DESCUBRIS institute works in German, English and French. Worldwide.
