Talks

Conferences for leaders and organizations wanting change to happen

1 – Why is it so hard to change?

This talk stems from one of the main reflections of the book, which has to do with the difficulties we may encounter when undertaking any change, and how we can transform ourselves into someone capable of successfully changing in all our areas of action – and do it sustainably.

2 – Creating the culture we want.

Drawing on his extensive experience as a consultant and as an expert in cultural transformations of multinational companies in various industries, Fran reviews the key points to consider when embarking on this type of process and invites us to take action to make it possible.

3 – Leading change.

His book

BE THE CHANGE THE ART OF BECOMING OUR OWN INNOVATION PROJECT.

Both personally and professionally, we are sometimes faced with new challenges that require us to change to overcome them. Sometimes, this change is much more complex than it seems, and thus the obstacles become limits. Other times the change does take place, but we do not manage to sustain it over time. Thus, the change is diluted and the original problem resurfaces. Be the Change invites us to reflect on the diculties we may encounter when undertaking any change, and to transform ourselves into a person capable of innovating on ourselves successfully in all of our fields of action. From his experience as an international consultant, Fran proposes that each of us become our innovation project and find, in each situation, the next “best version” of ourselves.
