Thomas Lanthaler drops into hot spots of crisis all over the world and helps people make decisions to get through the chaos as peacefully as possible.
He is an experienced international crisis leader, experiential facilitator, and speaker with nearly two decades of experience across 30 countries. Thomas is the Founder and CEO of The Crisis Compass. This cross-sectoral consultancy acts as a partner and guide to companies genuinely interested in working with a crisis as a means for innovation. He advises leaders on all aspects of human-centered crisis management, confident decision-making, and making businesses crisis-ready using innovative tools to deal with uncertainty and challenging situations - all centered around learning and communication to reframe crises into means of reinvention.

Standout Quotes“If you make a small difference with just one person, you've already made a difference.” (Thomas)
“A crisis is not an event. A crisis is basically the aftermath of it.” (Thomas)
“If it's not a life or death crisis, no one is dying in front of you, there's always time.” (Thomas)
“I deserve the acceptance here, but I also have to give acceptance because others are different and they will see it differently.” (Thomas)
“I'm talking about the awareness, what it does to me if I actually let go.” (Thomas)
“We're trying to do what you just talked about, sitting there on the land, trying to practice collectivism.” (Traci)
