Talks

CONFERENCES FOR LEADERS AND ORGANIZATIONS WANTING CHANGE TO HAPPEN

 

1 – Why is it so hard to change?

This talk stems from one of the main reflections of the book, which has to do with the diculties we may encounter when undertaking any change, and how we can transform ourselves into someone capable of successfully changing in all our areas of action – and do it sustainably.

 

2 – Creating the culture we want.

Drawing on his extensive experience as a consultant and as an expert in cultural transformations of multinational companies in various industries, Fran reviews the key points to consider when embarking on this type of process and invites us to take action to make it possible.

 

3 – Leading change.

In this talk, Fran invites us to look at ourselves as people capable of inspiring others to constantly change and evolve. We all occupy places of leadership in dierent areas of our lives. From that thesis, he explains what the fundamental beliefs and values are to make the changes we want happen and how to invite others to be part of that same process.

 

Through Fran I learned the power of starting with ‘what I can do better’, and how this can transform a culture and lead to transformational growth.
