** Starting Up Today - Your business your way ** (learn from my experience and mistakes)

You are or want to work for yourself. Freedom. The potential rewards. You have an idea. A good idea.

But where do you start? What’s necessary to get the idea in a company form, so that you can get paid for your idea. And make profits.

Over the last three decades, I’ve set up a number of firms - and grown them into 7 figure revenue operations. From scratch. Through thick and thin. I’ve learned what matters, and what doesn’t.

I’d like to share this with you.

Extra information

Let me know where you are in the start-up process and what you’d like advice on.

TRAINING TO EMBODY EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL FRAMEWORK
➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating. ➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how. ➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively. ➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission. ➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring. ➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session. ➤ THE TRAINER: Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES ✓ Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Fribourg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Basel-Neuchâtel-Bern-Lucerne-Brussels-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently, these sessions continue to be offered by videoconference in the current context and in accordance with general demand which is almost unanimous on this subject. ✓ Indeed, apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time saving related to travel & their unforeseen events, eco-responsibility, increased schedule flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain identical. In addition, the entire exchange, notes and recommendations are immediately transcribed on the dedicated chat. ✓ To support us among ourselves & to be pleasant to you in this sustainable / particular period and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees are temporarily reduced and will not increase after the start of our sessions. ✓ Languages: French/English. ✓ The progress following these private sessions is perceptible from 1 to 2 sessions (*2023 study). ✓ As other people do regularly, you can also please your loved ones by offering gift vouchers available all year round.

Manage and administer (purchase) contracts, supplier management
Contract management is ensuring that the agreements laid down in a contract are actually fulfilled. Both the performance and obligations of the supplier are relevant as well as the performance and obligations of the own organization. Poor purchasing contracts or poorly maintained contracts can cause confusion, friction and 'hassle'. Contracts are also sometimes too comprehensive or incomplete. By managing and administering your purchasing contracts in a structured way, you can ensure that the risks surrounding contracts are minimized and that the contracts are used properly. This not only saves time and money, but also generally ensures better relationships with your supplier. I can teach you how to create that structure, organize good tenders, conclude good contracts and manage your contracts better.

Business and Microeconomics Lesson from Top-Ranked LSE Graduate
Embark on an enlightening journey through Business and Microeconomics with a class designed to breathe life into textbook concepts, making them intuitive and immensely relatable. As a distinguished graduate from the LSE, my approach is rooted in the conviction that true learning blossoms from connecting theoretical frameworks to the tangible dynamics of the real world. I came in the top 3% in my Microeconomics classes and have experience from books by Varian- Intermediate Microeconomics and Game Theory by Osborne. In my meticulously crafted sessions, we will delve into the intricacies of A-level and GCSE syllabi, covering pivotal topics such as market structures, strategic business planning, economic policies, and financial analysis. Our exploration will be peppered with compelling examples, from dissecting the success strategies of leading corporations like Apple to demystifying the causes and implications of inflation on everyday life. Through interactive discussions enriched by current events, we will decode the complex forces shaping business decisions and economic transformations. My teaching philosophy transcends the traditional focus on memorization, aiming instead to cultivate a profound understanding of fundamental concepts such as supply and demand, elasticity, business finance, and economic growth. My goal is to thoroughly prepare you for your exams while fostering the ability to think critically about the intricacies of business and economics. This endeavour is not just about achieving top grades; it's about equipping you with a practical perspective that will serve you well beyond the classroom. Let us embark on this intellectual adventure, where learning transcends the conventional and becomes an exploration of the vibrant interplay between business and economics.
