Speaker History and Management: Learning Lessons from the Past to Act Better in the Present and Anticipate the Future
I am a speaker and founder of My Lessons Learned, an agency specializing in the application of History to contemporary management. My unique approach uses the great lessons of History as a pedagogical lever to illuminate today's managerial challenges. With over 15 years of experience in gamification and pedagogical innovation, I offer a transformative approach that translates historical narratives into concrete tools for strategic development and leadership. My interventions cover key themes: leadership and decision-making, entrepreneurship, innovation under constraint, organizational resilience, remote management, and general culture. I offer several formats adaptable to your needs: targeted interventions (45 min to 1h), in-depth masterclasses, interactive workshops, and immersive learning expeditions. I also design innovative Serious Games that stimulate collective engagement and experiential learning. Beyond conferences, I work in higher education institutions (business schools, engineering schools, communication) and provide deepening tools: managerial logbooks and an interactive database of managerial dilemmas. This holistic approach ensures impactful and sustainable learning for your teams.

PERSONAL RESILIENCE: HOW TO BOUNCE BACK WHEN EVERYTHING COLLAPSES
You are overwhelmed by crises, strategic turns, or failures that undermine you. What if the key was to copy those who have turned adversity into advantage? From the Widow Clicquot (a widow at 27 who founded a champagne empire) to Marie Curie (rejected by the Academy of Sciences and a double Nobel Prize winner), these figures have turned obstacles into levers through 3 precise mental reflexes. Historical figures Widow Clicquot, Theodore Roosevelt, Marie Curie, Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand, Florence Nightingale, Heddy Lamar, Benjamin Franklin, Marie Marvingt You will leave this conference with: A 3-step framework to learn from failures (inspired by Theodore Roosevelt). Marie Curie's "Constraint → Opportunity" method to innovate when resources are lacking. A tool to identify your "invisible resilience zones" (inspired by Benedictine monasteries, resilient for 1,500 years).
DISRUPTION: NOT TO SUFFER FROM AI, BUT TO TAME IT LIKE PRINTING OR ELECTRICITY
Is AI terrifying you? That's normal: 60% of jobs will mutate by 2030 (McKinsey). But the talents who survive technological revolutions have all used the same strategy... which you can replicate. Proof: The printing press (1450) eliminated many jobs... but created 10x more value for those who anticipated new needs (teachers, translators, humanists, publisher printers, artists). Lewis Latimer didn't invent the light bulb, but he made it economically viable. Edison sold an ecosystem (power plants, cables, subscriptions) – just like the GAFA today. And CJ Walker became the first African American woman millionaire by relying on the infrastructure of the industrial revolution. Historical figures: Alde Manucce, Sofia Lewis Latimer, Thomas Edison, CJ Walker, Josephine Cochrane, Nikola Tesla, Emile Zola, Erasmus, Rosa Bonheur, Alice-Guy Blaché, Jean-Baptiste Godin. ✅ You will leave with: An analysis grid to detect where AI destroys vs. creates value in your sector (method inspired by the Dutch East India Company). The "3 horizons" model from Schultz (Starbucks) to pivot without breaking everything. A script to convince your team to switch to AI without triggering an internal war (Lincoln's technique).
