📚 If your life were a novel, what title would you give it?

I would choose a name as impossible as my journey: Gratwanderung. It means balance in oscillation, the tightrope between two opposites.

🤯 "Bicu", I pursued a double degree in humanities at the Sorbonne, and social sciences at Sciences Po.

🤫 Apprentice, I studied discourse in a master's program, and silence - so necessary in the art of asking questions! - in qualitative studies, at Ipsos UU.

🧐 At HEC, I heard that "a company is a structure that aims to make a profit," without imagining that a year later I would create my own - and that it would aim for something other than making a profit!

🤪 I then worked as Lab Coordinator at Google Arts & Culture, technology in the service of art! Currently, I teach an introduction to artificial intelligence at HEC: AI in service of arts & culture.

😇 By creating the School of Speech, I wanted to help people be more comfortable speaking in public. I learned a lot by teaching! I detail my method in a book: L'École de la Parole (Hachette, 2020), paperback version Bien parler en public (Marabout, 2022)

🥰 I was a Senior Writer at BCG BrightHouse, which reconciles opposites: strategy and creativity, profit and purpose!

Today, I write, I teach, and I offer my skills in #communication, #writing, and #publicspeaking, always with the curiosity to discover new universes, new fields, and new people.

I would be delighted to discuss it!

Author of Fantasia (Grasset, 2024), L'École de la Parole (Hachette, 2020), and Bien parler en public (Marabout, 2022)
