[NEWSLETTER] November 2021 - Christmas Catalogue: and then there were six!

Grégory Wintrebert - The Sopra Steria adventure

From Grégory’s point of view, IÉSEG can be summed up in three words: collaboration, pride and personal! Grégory was hugely influenced by Eric Dor’s econometrics course, which he still finds useful every day. He began his career in various consulting firms such as Deloitte. After eight years, he decided on a change of direction and started working for Sopra Steria. Working between Paris and Lille, Grégory is now Deputy Executive Director France. And he took the time to talk about his career in a video profile.

Revlys - Workation, what's that?

Revlys was created by Solène Loeur (Grande École 2018) & Axel Fenaux (Grande École 2016). This travel agency, specializing in tailor-made holidays to France, is launching Workation! What does it mean? A team-building break that combines elements of work with relaxation and sightseeing. Could you be the next to reap the benefits of working away?

Have you thought of… becoming a mentor!

This year IÉSEG Network is once again running its mentoring program. Any IÉSEG graduate, working in France or abroad, can help in giving career advice to a an IÉSEG student or graduate by becoming a mentor. Your experience, your professional outlook and your advice will be a huge help in dealing with the different choices on offer. You can keep in touch in person, by email, phone or video link! A few hours of your time spread over the semester are enough to build this bond and help with the professional development of your mentee.

We can’t not communicate!

We can’t not communicate! In every interaction we have with another person, we are sending a message, even if we say nothing at all. Indeed, our very presence and posture give clues and convey non-verbal messages. As a result, we can’t help influencing one another. Knowing how to understand body language is therefore essential for our personal and professional relationships.
