I was invited early October to speak about how to unlock women’s careers at a round table debate at the Elle Active Forum. Continue reading “An entrepreneurial approach to women’s careers”

HR is powerless!
I have been meaning to write this article for ages and not daring to say some obvious truths about organizations and how they think as a collective. Since the work that I do is on the “soft” human side, it has often been associated with HR, but a great number of my work to change organizations is not ordered by HR. And the best programmes that I do are not sponsored by HR, they are backed by CEOs themselves, Executive Committees and high level management. In many instances I have found that HR is powerless!

Mechanics of emotions
… And why engineers can be great at dealing with emotions at work, once they get the manual.
I presented this TED-like talk for the Airbus Group Leadership University’s trainer day, held in Toulouse on 11 December 2014. In this short talk, I wanted to present to my peers a few perspectives on how to bring soft subjects like “emotions at work” to engineers, since a vast majority of Airbus managers we train come from an engineering background. The pedagogy for engineers needs to be very coherent from the title “mechanics of emotions” to the metaphors (engine), the language and the concrete cases and tools.

Pour un changement culturel, il faudra bien plus qu’une formation pour faire bouger les choses, mais il faut bien commencer quelque part et faire les premiers pas.

Training on Innovation?
The principal goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done. – Jean PIAGET
Transition professionnelle
Depuis très longtemps je m’intéresse à ce passage, ce moment (plus ou moins long) pendant lequel, nous ne sommes plus vraiment attachés à l’état précédent mais pas encore dans le nouvel état. Comme lorsque l’on prend l’avion, nous avons quitté la ville de départ mais ne sommes pas encore arrivés à notre destination. Ces moments peuvent être dans notre vie, des moments de stress, d’anticipation positive ou négative, de peur, de joie, ou même de tristesse. Continue reading “Transition professionnelle”
