I am a wordsmith, transmitting my upheavals and convictions in my books: "Our storms are as high as our dreams: Manifesto for not missing out on your life ", my latest which has just been released, and "Le Roseau penchant, histoire d'une merveilleuse opération", so that they show you that nothing is impossible, but also through opinion articles, and through inspiring public speaking, including a TEDx : "Rothing happens to us by chance", which has been viewed by over 2,000,000 people worldwide.
My trademark:
Starting from a real life story, I create a universal and shareable vision, with total authenticity and without any falseness, about subjects that are close to my heart.
Themes that inspire me:
Resilience, reconciliation with oneself through listening and self-confidence, the transmutation of hardship into a springboard for living one's life to the fullest, respect in diversity and difference, the embodied Feminine, the invisible handicap, the link between generations, inclusion, another look at our origins and roots, the meaning of our personal history and the magnificence of life.
My life:
In 2014, a surgical accident left me a paraplegic. It also led me to transform myself and create a new life where I was offered the joy of writing - an abandoned dream of my 18 years. My first book is a testament to how, with a damaged spinal cord, I struggled to regain control of my life and how this experience of resilience can inspire others. The opportunity for larger forums and conferences then presented itself - Jump Forum Paris, Women's Forum, TEDx, Eklore's Debout Citoyennes at the Zenith etc - leading me to nurture a strong connection with my readers and viewers. In 2019, I was honored to receive the RestartAwards Award at the Olympia.
Before 2014, I held positions of responsibility in large corporations, and I lived a very different life despite an already keen interest in the causes and ideas that drive me today. Having held management positions in many of them since 1978 - Renault, Apple Computer, Thomson, IBM - in France and internationally, I am very familiar with the challenges of business and a fervent supporter of women's networks, including the Cercle Interelles. I am a member of the "Comité des Sages" of Digital Ladies and Allies, as an extension of my long-standing commitment to gender equality.
I live in Arcachon.
I am extremely moved to present you my new Manifesto : "Our storms are equal to our dreams", published by Editions Trédaniel. This manifesto deals with the contradictions that teach us to live in our authenticity. In the same spirit as my TEDx, it blasts the beliefs that make us forget to live and die without having lived, without having dared its chaos and welcomed the jewels of life. He reminds us to accept our mistakes and failures as the source, sometimes painful, of self-knowledge, of all our possibilities and the discovery of our forgotten dreams, of the unexpected and the incredible of our life. He offers us "white pebbles" that the reader can take hold of... or not, in order to fully live HIS story.
With you.
Nadalette
