Firms
My presentations aim to give a break in the often long days of seminars, annual staff meeting, training sessions and other corporate events.
They are designed in such a way that the participants get some key learning about the history of business, but with an entertaining content, a lively and original presentation (subject to the nature of the meeting, with some acoustic and visual illustrations, even with historical costumes). The presentations leave a large place to quotes and those small stories making history. Learn with joy is my philosophy!
The subjects cover in priority gastronomy (food, wines, art of the table), economy (financial crisis, historical business people, macro-economy), linguistic (genesis of French and Englaish languages) but also a special cover on the respective French and German cultures and histories
Some subjects may sound irrelevant for your firm, but I always treat the subjects, so that staff can get some positive impact on their way of thinking, of behaving at work, of conceiving the future.
I have selected many subjects incurring close relations between France and the UK, to keep
The duration of these sessions is highly flexible, but can hardly last less than 20 minutes. I recommend 2 or 3 sessions of 40 minutes each during the seminar.
