Author and deep-thinker Nicole Schwab ruminates on the implicit biases we hold, her personal path, and how a realization of our interconnectedness to one another and to the earth would help us overcome a myriad of current global problems.

Nicole is an earth-loving, deep-thinking author and social entrepreneur who spent the last twenty years living and working across cultures and horizons, striving to create a harmonious sustainable world, one that values and honors the feminine principle, and is rooted in our connection to the Earth as a living being. A Swiss native with a scientific background (degrees from Cambridge University and Harvard Kennedy School), Nicole spent several years working on public health in the Andes, before returning to Geneva to co-found The Forum of Young Global Leaders, and later, EDGE - a global scheme that certifies companies for closing the gender gap in the workplace. Her first book, “The Heart of the Labyrinth,” has received great acclaim from thought leaders around the world.
