CHRISTMAS PARTY / SOIRÉE NOËL 19.12.2016
We all enjoyed a wonderful evening together with good food, happy speeches, party games, crackers and gifts presented by our own Miss Noël. But above all was the fact that everyone contributed to a glowing, friendly atmosphere which lit up the whole evening.
Nous avons tous passé une merveilleuse soirée ensemble avec la bonne bouffe, les discours joyeux, les jeux, les ‘crackers’ et les cadeaux distribués par notre propre Miss Noël. Mais, au-dessus de tout cela, était le fait que tout le monde a contribué à une atmosphère chaleureuse et conviviale qui a illuminé toute la soirée.

Laurent Boghossian, one of our best speakers, was selected to give a ‘Humorous Speaking’ presentation at this auspicious European event.‘
As he points out, putting humor into a speech is the gateway towards successful communication. For instance starting with a light joke or situation radiates warmth to an audience. In fact, humor is all about organizing yourself in a serious manner without seeming to be too serious and is an excellent communication skill with which to entertain and inspire an audience. However, we must first learn the subtle art of being funny without being ridiculous….
