Conferences

A conference isn’t a mini-training session. Neither is it a meaningless series of powerpoint slides. Leaders don’t do powerpoint!

My conferences are a mean to address :

• The everchanging business environment, something all business owners and managers are faced with on a daily basis. My discussions are based on my own experiences as a manager Australia and the rest of the world.
• The impact of these changes on your business, company and teams, whatever their size.
• The importance of monitoring trends related to your particular business activity.
• The risks you face should you choose to ignore warning signs.

My conferences are based on real-life case studies and conclude with three action points for you to follow up after the conference has ended. To find out the current and most sought-after conference subjects, click here

Conference topics

Conference topics vary enormously and are designed to best match the context and business expectations of my clients. Broadly speaking, the subjects I cover respond to the needs of HR, marketing and commercial professionals and are linked to :

• Current trends in management, HR and marketing strategy.
• Understanding behavioural changes linked to cultural generations, intergenerational communication and  relationship between millennials and any other generation.
• Using social technologies on a management and recruitment level.
• Innovation strategies : On a business and personnel level (developing iconoclastic and visionary skills).
• Finding meaning in business – for companies as a whole, their managers and anyone wanting to find a balance between money and business passion.
• E-recruitment and creating an ecosystem for social recruitment.

My training workshops give you the opportunity to find collective solutions to the challenges faced by your company.

A few clients

My training sessions are more generalised than my workshops and as such are not designed to help you create an action plan. 

They are designed to give you a greater insight into the current business climate, as well as let you know about the most up-to-date business practices employed by companies at home and abroad. As I don’t consider myself a specialist in all fields, I regularly work alongside people at the top of their game in the appropriate business sectors, whether they be pioneers (I don’t like the word ‘experts’ btw), company directors, etc.

A tailor-made approach

Whatever the subject of the training session I always ensure it is appropriate for your particular business and needs, to ensure each participant gets the most out of their attendance. This involves working closely with your co-workers to

• Identify business expectations.
• Spot strengths and weakness’ expressed by your co-workers.
• Understand more about your business, you area of activity and the terminology specific to your sector.
• Come up with scenario-based exercises to encourage collaborative exchange of ideas.
• Find innovative and safe business solutions adapted to your organisation’s culture and sectoral environment vos attentes business.
• Repérer les forces et les manques exprimés par vos collaborateurs.
• Découvrir votre entreprise, votre secteur d’activité et son vocabulaire.
• Construire des cas permettant des mises en situation et faciliter les échanges.
• Présenter des éléments de réponse, innovants et sécurisants, adaptés à votre culture et environnement sectoriel.

The training day is divided into modules and starts with a 2 hour compulsory module which looks at the technological, behavioural and economic environment of your company which will allow us to develop a common language, and allow me to further tailor the training session to your needs. Contact me directly if you would like further information about these modules.
