Body Language… How to perform at your best

Market pressures and economic tensions driving corporate reorganisations make our teams bigger and our workload higher. They also make it difficult for everyone to connect as effectively as before. Body language reveals itself more pressingly in these situations, and conveys messages about stress, self-confidence and our ability to lead in ways most of us do not suspect. Female leaders have an opportunity to grow self-awareness about their non-verbal com’, how it affects their self-perception and that of others, and press a virtual “reset” button to start building, projecting and living increased self-confidence. Come & learn how body language can have an impact to increase one’s confidence and improve interpersonal relationships!

Deviens celle que tu es – Silvia Gollini Daum

Historiquement et culturellement femmes et hommes sont enfermés dans des stéréotypes qui peuvent se résumer en femme=  « take care », homme = « take charge ». Ces stéréotypes risquent d’orienter et conditionner fortement les comportements : donc pour les femmes l’empathie, l’écoute etc. et pour les hommes la prise de risque, la détermination etc. Mais sommes-nous des individus et des leaders à part entière quand nous sommes contraintes dans ces regards ?

Voici un atelier réservé à vous, Mesdames et leaders, pour aller encore plus loin. Venez découvrir et expérimenter un leadership authentique et entier, au-delà de tout stéréotype, pour commencer à déployer pleinement votre propre puissance dans votre environnement professionnel et personnel.
