What?

·         Each workshop gathers +/- 10 participants around 2 testimonials of people having already experienced important “optimistic” changes in their company. They share their experiences and highlight the positive impact of those changes.

Why?

·         We are convinced that optimistic companies will have more profitability and more value in the long run. An optimistic company is for Business & Optimism a company focused on having:

ü  Goals defined in terms of progress, response to needs, teamwork,... and aligned from shareholders to employees.

ü  A constant focus on the development and diffusion of a positive corporate culture.

ü  A constant openness towards new opportunities, partnerships and innovation.

ü  An ability to engage and mobilize all stakeholders around their project.

ü  A dynamic of sharing best practices and networks, with a belief that cooperation opens up opportunities.

·         Sharing experiences between peers is one of the best ways to positively and efficiently inspire leaders, giving them ideas and tools which they can implement within their own companies.

Business & Optimism supports Business Leaders in developing their projects
