A leader doesn't buy a talk. They buy a moment that moves something in their teams — that brings an emotion that invites action. My talk is about assertiveness and calmer relationships at work, even amid tension. Not a recipe to apply, but an invitation to question oneself: why do I enter into relation with the other? Three takeaway keys: — Feel your inner state of mind (emotion as ikigai compass) — Act on what you control and set your intention — Step back from the gaze of the other, in the right measure. A touch of stage, an absurdist game, three sociologists invited to share their view of our system (Shorter, Desjeux, Hartmut). We laugh, we think, we recognise ourselves. Takeaway: your teams leave with shared keys to name what's stuck — and the urge to try something else the very next day. That's often where real transformations begin.
