COMING SOON: “The Key Note with Cécile” A newsletter for leaders who prefer to speak from the heart rather than to the slides. That’s exactly what this new newsletter will deliver every other Thursday. Why hit “Subscribe”?Because inside boardrooms and on big stages I keep seeing the same bottlenecks: - Fear that hijacks brilliance: until you learn to treat it as a delightful signal
for growth, not a monster under the lectern - Approval addiction: overturn this by embodying the simple truth that “what others think of you is none of your business”
- Energy crashes: reversed when you let your body hack your brain (yes, a 30-second hip-sway in a corridor can reset neurotransmitters before you
speak) - Setbacks that shrink voices instead of expanding them: solved by
learning to bounce forward, not merely back - Tense rooms that mirror frustration calmed when you master the social
magic of mirror neurons and turn survival mode into collaboration
What to expectEvery edition follows a tight promise: One Insight • One Story • One Tool all road-tested with C-suite clients. Topics will rotate (not in any particular order) through: - Resilience rituals that make pressure your ally.
- Voice and body techniques that prime instant presence.
- Mental frameworks for converting judgement, envy and impostor triggers into wisdom.
- Message-design sprints that shrink complexity to 60-second stories.
- Experiments in curiosity, feedback alchemy and legacy-driven decision-
making.
Three-ish minutes read time. The same window you get between “Next slide, please” and the first tough question. Who it’s for- CEOs, founders and senior execs who have the numbers but want the narrative.
- High-potential leaders about to move from conference room to conference stage.
- Change-makers who refuse to trade honesty for politeness!
My pledgeI’ve worn the braces, the scars, the Louboutin knock-offs, and the shame of bombing a Paris launch because fear froze my tongue. I’ve also danced alone to Celia Cruz in a Swiss school hallway and walked on stage to win a national speech contest. Each story became a method; each method now becomes your Thursday playbook. Your Action- Please share: If you know of a friend or colleague that need this, forward and type their email.
- Your feedback is vital: Any comments, questions or suggestions,
email me directly.
Let’s make authenticity contagious ; one keynote, one conversation, one Thursday at a time. Yours truly, |
