Valentin Schmid is the business editor of The Epoch Times, the English edition of the largest Chinese newspaper independent of the Communist Party. The Epoch Times was founded in 2003 and publishes in 21 languages in 35 countries across five continents. Mr. Schmid has become a recognized expert on the Chinese economy by focusing on crucial issues often overlooked or misunderstood by mainstream media: inefficient debt-financed growth, the inability to innovate, capital flight, and the real story behind China’s exchange rate mechanism and huge foreign exchange reserves. Mr. Schmid has correctly predicted the resulting volatility in the Chinese economy in his articles, as well as on-the-record speeches before doubt about the Chinese economic miracle became mainstream over the last few years. He is ranked in the 99.99 percentile on Klout.com for China expertise. In addition to China, Mr. Schmid is an expert in Austrian economics, gold, and cryptocurrencies, which he has been covering since 2013. He is ranked at 115th place of the world’s top influential business journalists, according to RichTopia. Before joining The Epoch Times in New York in 2012, Mr. Schmid was a portfolio manager with BNP Paribas Investment Partners in Amsterdam, Paris, London, and Hong Kong. Mr. Schmid holds an MA in philosophy and economics from the University of Edinburgh.

WHAT I DO: I teach organizations and professionals how to create distinction in a hyper-competitive marketplace so they can stand out and move up. As a result, my clients sell more profitably, serve more dynamically, and lead more productively in a volatile market dealing with great generational changes. HOW I DO IT: From distinctive convention keynotes to highly personal, interactive virtual training, I use three decades of experience and research to custom design highly engaging programs that meet your unique requirements and needs. DOES IT WORK? I realize that EVERY author/speaker/guru is going to insist that their approach works. I can prove it. From an account manager from a major tech company who closed a $30m sale from one idea in a keynote speech – to a small business who wrote that because of our content, “We grew our business to many times its size. We disrupted the small 3D ultrasound industry.” WHO ARE YOUR CLIENTS? The best. Apple, SAP, BMW, Merrill Lynch, Dow, Cisco, CDW, Re/MAX, Fairmont Hotels, UBS, Intel, Chrysler, Preferred Hotels of the World, and hundreds more…I’m humbled and honored to have the greatest companies in the world on my client list. And, I’d LOVE to work with YOU! WHAT DO THEY SAY? Again, EVERYONE provides their stellar references. One client -- my friends at SAP -- created a video series for retailers based on my program. Here’s my favorite reference: “We’ve booked the leading speakers in the world. Scott McKain received the highest evaluations in the history of our company.” –Cisco. I’m happy to provide contacts and references, if you desire. (I just give you the contact info of my last three clients -- I don't cherry pick from a long list. If I didn't get it right in my last programs, you'll know.) We'd love to talk with you about how you can join these distinctive clients!
