TEDx Lausanne – April 21, 2017

The next TEDxLausanne event will take place at the UNIL Amphimax in Lausanne on 21 April 2017 at 14h00. The topic is “Braving New Worlds” and will include some interesting speakers and topics linked to communications, including :

Lorien Gamaroff on THE VIRTUES OF DIGITAL CURRENCIES
Michael Casey on SOCIAL MEDIA: DO FACTS STILL MATTER?

Most of the time, we face up to new worlds brought by relentless changes not of our making. A deep change brings risks and takes us out of our comfort zones: we will be confronted with confusion, uncertainty and fear. We can choose to adapt to the new conditions. Or we can choose to brave emerging worlds with curiosity, open minds, and purpose – to be future-ready.

So, what new worlds await us? Who are the visionaries crafting these new worlds? Who will be the new winners? How prepared are we, as a society and individuals, for the shift? What part can we play in shaping the new world?

For further information and to register visit the TEDx Lausanne website.

Communicate with Impact – Geneva Workshop for business owners

Good communication is crucial to the success of any business, we know that.

But for business owners and entrepreneurs who don’t already have strong communication skills, the cost of hiring an agency or freelancer to help plan and execute their literature, websites, social media, presentations, advertising etc. can be prohibiting.

With this in mind, our very own Melitta Campbell has teamed up with digital communications expert, Kathleen Holmlund, to create a one-day workshop that will give participants all the essential tools and knowledge they need to start producing impactful communications for themselves; thus cutting the cost of their communications, helping them achieve better results and faster, and giving them the confidence to communicate coherently and with impact across all channels – always!

The workshop will take place in Geneva at the Impact Hub on 3 March. You can get more information and register via the Geneva Impact Hub website.

** Early Bird discount available until 17 February **
