Open Door Policy - Christian Schnyder- Episode # 039


Listen Later

Christian Schnyder is the owner at Beleco. He’s been inspired and informed by over 30 years of experience. He specializes in hospitality and residential interiors. He’s used his roots from Switzerland to influence his view on the world and #hospitality. He joins host Dan Ryan to talk about his journey into the world of hospitality.  


Takeaways: 

 

  • The culture in Switzerland is driven towards service. Because of the lack of other resources, they have shifted their focus to providing good services. 
  • It’s important to keep your end goals in mind. You want to have a way to know how you want to finish a project. 
  • Giving a strong environment for people to fill a space with is part of the process of making a space more livable. 
  • Hospitality is about having an open door policy. You can have people come over and talk about anything they want, and you want them to feel a sense of belonging. 
  • We are thinking less about the impact of our words on others. Technology has advanced which is nice but it also takes us away from our human connections. 
  • Staying in touch with those around us is important for keeping us motivated and keeping coworkers focused. 
  • You’re not designing for designers, you are designing for people. 


Quote of the Show:

 

16:09 “As a designer you have a design done and it's approved and you go forward and then halfway through, they're basically saying, well, no, guess what? The design, it's not going to work. You need to go and keep what's there. And I think that's what I love about this is like, okay, now here is sort of that hurdle you have to jump over. How can you make something look effortless?”
