Choose the theme, then the format. Every theme comes the same way: an opening, a talk, or the talk followed by a workshop. All prices are excluding VAT.
Theme 1 · to open a seminar, run a meeting, dare to speak
Inspired leadership to bring your teams to life
Public speaking, running meetings and managing stress: your 5 superpowers.
Public speaking, running a meeting, presence: five gestures the whole room practises together. Pause, move, breathe, vibrate, laugh. A good way to better detect and positively channel stress, personal and collective, and to feel good speaking to others: breath, voice, presence.
The opening for this theme takes the form of an energizer: 20 to 30 minutes, room on its feet, phones off, up to 250 people, in French or English. The world will manage that long without you.

Theme 2 · for a seminar, an executive committee, a convention, a business network
AI, your team's superpower
Automate your processes, save time, perform together.
The basics of AI, then the angle of your choice: productivity, creativity, adoption by teams. Nicolas Baudry shares the house's own experience: how we built our software factory and our fleet of AI agents, and what they change every day. The talk is tailored to your company and your occasion.

Theme 3 · for a managers' seminar, a project kick-off, a team building
Managing a team that moves forward
What 20 years of entrepreneurship taught Nicolas: cohesion, projects, seminars.
Managing a team, a project, a team building, a seminar: Nicolas tells what worked, and what mostly made people laugh afterwards. He runs Banana Events, the seminar agency that has been bringing teams together for eleven years.
One theme is enough to open a day. For a full seminar, Banana Events, Nicolas's seminar agency, combines them and remains your single point of contact.
The “Augmented Team” seminar
For
