About

As career and brand specialists we help individuals and organizations to build their brands and tell their stories. Biographis is your coach and sparring partner for life and career design, leadership, storytelling and branding. In short: the narrative leadership consultancy and coaching practice that combines inner work with external impact. We are change agents for those who act and make themselves remarkable.

Pascal Geissbühler is a career and leadership coach, and a brand and story consultant. He runs Biographis in a network with partners from different disciplines. He has many years of experience as management consultant and leader of strategy and creative teams in rebranding and change projects. Prior to Biographis, he was a member of the executive board at a leading brand consultancy in Zurich.


How do you stand out?

Our idea

Today's life models, working environments and professional roles are constantly changing. Leadership has become an attitude and future skill for everyone. To lead your own way and to invite others for a journey – as a person, team and organization. Identity building is key to this: acting with the awareness of your own and shared needs, values, strengths and goals. With self agency, purpose and an impactful story.

Together, we transform. We combine narrative leadership strategies from branding and storytelling, career coaching and life design. Our holistic approach helps people to sharpen their profile, to define their position and to tell their story. For themselves and for an organization. With the aim of aligning person, role, team and organization for positive change. Self-determined and with strategic focus.

 


What are your beliefs?

Our values

Everyone needs a compass to succeed in an everchanging world. Our journey is about crafting life and signature stories that help to evolve the self, teams and organizations. It is about connecting with yourself and others. In short: to work on your «Social Me». We think change leadership based on a human experience. The art of becoming starts with making room for personality. Personal growth leads to organizational growth.

Continuous experience
What if? This question drives us. Our attitude: stay open for the unexpected and new narratives. 

Create and collaborate
We believe in the power of ideas that emerge from a co-creative mindset and an insightful dialogue.

Experiment first
We work with what's there. Act, test, optimize and try again. Embracing ambiguity and happenstance.

Identity as a narrative
Narratives and stories provide orientation and meaning. They support and connect people in change.
