Matchmaking: an Entrepreneur’s Essential Skill

I have the pleasure of counting on Dominique Lion's participation in this session to introduce us to matchmaking, a valuable communication skill essential to our business toolkit.

Using his decades-long experience as a speaker and coach in the art of public communication ( Protected content ), Dominique will help us become aware of how matchmaking can benefit us in our daily activities as entrepreneurs or independent professionals.

Our aim for this session is for you to:

• Grow your awareness of your communication style and how to make it work to your advantage in crafting your messages

• Learn how to deliver those messages with higher impact based on a clearer understanding of your audience’s positioning and agenda

• Understand how effective matchmaking can deliver a competitive edge in business negotiations.

Following our usual format, we will pause to share relevant experiences, opinions and perspectives at various points during Dominique's presentation. As in past sessions, we aim to create a friendly, open space for valuable exchange to emerge.

Protected content has generously agreed to host us free of charge, so I would be grateful if participants could please order one beverage from the bar as a modest thank you to our host.

NB: Those of us who might feel like it will go to the food court at the Confédération Centre nearby for a short leisurely brunch afterwards.
