Excuses: 3 secrets to stop making them and succeed
You will come out boosted, ready to chase the impossible I love this word "IMPOSSIBLE", it's the one that drives me to prove others wrong. I've never been better than when I'm up against a wall. I was born in Benin with an umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, I almost died at birth. I had a 1.5 cm difference between my two legs and yet I joined a vocational training center in Auxerre, France. I was born a second time there, the day my parents were told that I would never walk again after a tackle from an opponent. Two hip prostheses later, I walk and studied to work in luxury. Layoffs, resignations, racism, at 28 I still hold the record for the youngest sales director in luxury, and yet I had every excuse not to succeed. I launched a clothing brand, I was told I couldn't make a living from it, and yet we had over 40 points of sale before the lockdown. I was told it would be over, I laughed. Today I have a public image agency, I am an instapreneur and ambassador for Instagram and Facebook, because I was told I wouldn't make it. How? We all have excuses to give up and not succeed. Can we really succeed in our professional and personal lives despite difficulties? Yes, certainly, and that's what I would like to share with you! So, shall we go?

The Gaze: Freeing Yourself from the Gaze of Others and Moving Forward
For the past 11 years, I have been a brand ambassador for companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Instagram, Evian, and Mini Cooper - yet, I do not display any nude photos on these networks. This is actually what led me to be contacted by personalities from the worlds of sports, arts, and politics to enhance their visibility. My mission is to make the world of influence accessible to those who contribute to making things happen. I give talks on resilience, self-confidence, branding, and image, as after spending 2 years in a wheelchair, one develops skills and often faces many gazes. I would be delighted to discuss with you the topics of resilience, gaze, and influence...
