Original talks – Stepping into the shoes of pop culture characters

Description

A talk on a professional topic, delivered from the perspective of a character from film or pop culture! In Paris and the Île-de-France region.
How about a talk on leadership from the perspective of Michael Jackson? Leadership, self-confidence, strategy, ambition, influence and management… your one-of-a-kind conference!

The concept

I develop original talks that use iconic characters from cinema and pop culture to explore professional topics: leadership, self-confidence, strategy, ambition, influence and management.

The aim

To offer businesses a presentation that is entertaining, insightful and directly applicable to the professional world.

Example:

‘Scenarios of Resilience’ talk:
How cinema teaches us to bounce back after failure

The theme: resilience and professional recovery

Drawing on memorable films — featuring failures, transitions and moments of doubt experienced by iconic characters — I analyse practical mechanisms of resilience that are directly applicable to the professional world:

- Dealing with failure
- Perseverance
- Decision-making under pressure
- Rebuilding after a career setback

Examples of characters discussed by theme:

• Johnny Cage: Finding one’s place and turning weaknesses into strengths
• The Mandalorian: Leadership, values and decision-making
• Michael Jackson: Excellence, creativity and discipline
• Miranda Priestly: Power, ambition and management

The content and film examples can be tailored to the theme of your event (leadership, career transition, entrepreneurial spirit, etc.).
