The Paradox Hour
A free monthly live session for leaders navigating change. Each month: one paradox, one practical tool, one hour.
Next live session
The words you use are the change you get
Tuesday 17 November 2026 · 16:00 to 17:00 (Geneva time) · Live on Zoom
Language doesn't just describe reality. It creates it. This session explores how the words leaders choose shape culture, possibility, and behaviour, and gives you a concrete tool to shift what's possible simply by changing how you speak.
Coming up
Same format every month. Book your seat ahead.
