DiscernYard
DiscernYard is about helping leaders to sense, think, act and learn to ensure the long term sustainability of their businesses.
It's also, for me, the right time to share 25 successful years of observations, experiences and practice in a corporate international environment.
Sharing experiences and knowledge means an ability to :
-
engage large scale organizations through changes
-
influence diversified international corporate cultures
-
grow talents and teams to create value
-
manage successful CEO & Board members' transitions
-
develop C-suite and teams' engagement

Pourquoi DiscernYard ?
L'idée de DiscernYard est née à partir de vingt- cinq années d'observations, d'expériences et de pratiques en entreprises internationales. C'est aussi pour moi le moment de partager.
Dans un monde digitalisé en profonde accélération, la compétence humaine différenciatrice sera de développer, à titre individuel et collectif, le champs du discernement, d'où DiscernYard.
Why Discernyard ?

Sense, see what others

can't see.
