Delphine Luginbuhl - Speaker on cohesion dequipe
Expert in team cohesion - Author of "The Strength of Connection" (Kawa) and "Cultivating Optimism" (Eyrolles)
From a young age, I have been fascinated by what brings people together: teamwork, protecting the most vulnerable, the power of laughter.
My passion for mathematics propelled me into scientific studies: as an engineer from École Centrale Paris, I started in a large industrial group. The positions were interesting, the challenges numerous. But I was missing the essential: meaning, humanity, connection.
So I took a turn. I trained in systemic coaching, then became an occupational psychologist. I discovered positive psychology, the science that explores what makes individuals and groups function well and thrive.
Today, I am a speaker and I support leaders and managers who want to build cohesive, engaged, and motivated teams. With a conviction rooted in data: according to the Gallup 2026 report, only 8% of European employees are truly engaged at work. This figure is not a fatality, it is a starting point.
My approach is based on a triple training (engineer, psychologist, and coach) and on 25 years of field experience — from operational management to Diversity, through strategy, customer relations, and human resources — and on the F.O.R.C.E.© method, which I developed to help groups create lasting and concrete connections.
I formalized this approach in "The Strength of Connection," published by Kawa in the Lespeakers collection — my first solo book, after three co-authored works with Eyrolles ("Cultivating Optimism," "I Stop Giving Up on My Dreams," and "Too Good, Too Fool?").
My interventions are designed for participants to have a genuinely good time, and I put a lot of humor into them. Not only because laughing together is already creating a bond, but especially because emotion is what drives movement and anchors us. We remember what we felt, rarely what we only heard.

Qu'est-ce qui a fait de Delphine Luginbuhl une conférencière ?
At 5 years old, I wanted to be a garbage collector, to work with someone and chat at the back of the truck. At 6, I wanted to be a police officer, to protect the good from the bad. At 7, I wanted to be a clown, to make people laugh.
Pourquoi inviter Delphine Luginbuhl plutôt qu'une autre conférencière ?
Because I do not come with an off-the-shelf model to impose on your teams. I come with three intersecting perspectives (that of an engineer, a coach, and a psychologist), which allow for a real understanding of what is happening in a group, to grasp its mechanisms in depth, and to propose immediately actionable levers. What participants remember is the rare combination of rigor, embodiment, and humor.
What is Delphine Luginbuhl's speaking angle?
My journey is a bridge between two worlds: the rigor of engineering and the depth of psychology. And all of it with humor!
How does the audience experience a talk by Delphine Luginbuhl?
My talks are always interactive: the audience is engaged, not just spectators. The rhythm alternates between moments of reflection, recognized scenes that bring smiles, and interactions that create connections even in the room. Humor is not just a decoration: it serves the message, disarms resistance, and creates an atmosphere where everyone dares to recognize themselves in what is said.
Why do organizers like working with Delphine Luginbuhl?
I am very responsive, reliable, and have a great sense of customer relations.
What concrete results can the audience expect after a talk by Delphine Luginbuhl?
The audience leaves with two things: a new energy (the renewed desire to truly move forward together) and concrete tools from the F.O.R.C.E. method, actionable from the next day. Not just inspiration that evaporates: a real, individual and collective movement.

The strength of connection: how to reignite engagement, break down silos, and elevate your teams through what truly connects us
Engagement is eroding. Collaboration is running on empty. Teams are moving forward, but without real energy.
Does this resonate with you? No drama, no open crisis. Just this slight shift. This diffuse thing that makes us work alongside rather than together. That forms silos. That dulls the desire.
And yet… according to the Gallup 2025 study, engagement can be multiplied by 7. Thanks to something essential that we often forget.
This "something," we will explore together in a conference designed as a living experience. I invite you on a journey, to the heart of what truly connects us. Not an abstract stroll, no. A concrete, structured path, rooted in the reality of your teams. A moment to recreate that link where it has stretched, break down silos, awaken the desire to work together. To bring life back where functionality has taken over.
Why is connection the great forgotten in our organizations? How does it act, deeply, on motivation, cooperation, performance? And above all: how to revive it concretely, here and now, with simple, actionable, contagious keys?
Managers, collaborators, established or cross-functional teams: this conference is aimed at all those who want to work better together, with more meaning, more pleasure, more impact.
For an hour, I will take you on a journey. With my triple perspective as an engineer, coach, and psychologist, to combine energy, a broad view, lived stories, concrete tools... and a good dose of humor! Familiar scenes, where everyone finds a piece of their daily life, and levers that you can test the very next day.
And for those who want to go further: tailor-made workshops to anchor the learning, nurture the dynamics, and elevate the collective!
Diversity, optimism, and humanity in action: what if our differences were the most underutilized resource of your teams?
What if we bet, within teams, on the complementarity of talents, the quality of human connection, and the vitality of a resolutely positive approach? An optimistic and pragmatic approach, where everyone contributes their piece to the collective puzzle. Where differences no longer divide but nourish common intelligence. Where we inspire each other to innovate, decide, and move forward together.
In this conference, I invite you to move from displayed diversity to lived diversity. To transform differences in viewpoints into levers of cooperation. To bring back humanity, trust, and momentum where organizations have sometimes become rigid.
Why does diversity become exhausting when it is not supported? How is optimism a powerful and concrete lever for better collaboration? And above all: how to create collectives where everyone can truly find their place and contribute fully?
For an hour, I will take you on a lively experience, grounded in the reality of your teams. Familiar situations, moments of awareness, simple and immediately actionable keys.
Managers, collaborators, cross-functional teams: this conference is aimed at all those who want to make diversity a driving force, optimism a collective energy, and humanity a true lever for sustainable performance.
