Leading Fortissimo Conference description
Objectives
The CEDEP Leading Fortissimo experience features fundamental lessons about leadership that professional musicians share and have been applying since the dawn of humanity.
Because they operate in similar ‘organisations’ made of experts and strong characters, top-class musicians encounter the same challenges as corporate leaders, such as: managing egos, aligning groups, engaging audiences, knowledge transferal (hard and soft), and developing self-confidence to succeed.
When realizing that music has a much longer history than corporate management, that many of these leadership challenges have been addressed long ago, and that this millennium knowledge is still available in the minds of certain artists, what will you do? Ready to embark on a leadership journey around the piano?

Training Content
Somewhere between a testimonial, a concert and a management training, we propose this innovative approach to “executive” teaching that brings to light how high-level musicians are confronted with the same issues as business leaders and have long had the answers to some of these issues.
Sharing experiences and testimonials are at the core of the learning journey. The innovative course offers an illustrated dialogue where music comes into play through the testimony of a world-renowned concert performer, Yves Henry (illustrating his words on the piano) and a professional trainer and businessman, Christophe Gillet (teaching practical tools and concepts).
