Please join us at Rotterdam School of Management for an
upcoming seminar to give you an opportunity to see leadership from a unique perspective, help you see things that other people don’t see, and challenge the stereotypes that many have about leadership today.

Good or bad leadership can depend on one’s personal perspective; however, examples of leadership that have endured and prospered are the one’s most sought after. To achieve the same we are wise to study what those forms of leaderships were all about. To delve into the principles of natural and effective leadership we must first seek out where effective leadership manifests itself naturally.

What many do not know is that precisely this – highly effective and natural leadership – also exist outside the human world. Many species have, like humans, their own culture and specific society in which leadership plays an important role in the quest for survival.

For millions of years, one of the most successful and flourishing societies of all has been that of the equine society. By studying this utterly pure and very effective way of Equine leadership we can easily grasp the basics and applies what fits to our own. In this seminar we will compare and contrast human leadership with the basics principles derived from the study of equine behavior.

In this seminar about leadership you are offered the opportunity:

- to develop your leadership insights
- to see a bigger picture in a new persepective
- to understand key elements of “natural” leadership
- to look at great leaders in a new context

and to explore a unique perspective of leadership.

The seminar will offer you the opportunity to analyse and understand those who fall under your responsibility and peel away the surface of every day insufficiency. The basics which are unfolded in this seminar have become the foundation of many successful leaders, who in turn have enlightened and enabled their followers.

“Pull the string, and it will follow wherever you wish. Push it, and it will go nowhere at all.” ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

31Million Part Deux

Please welcome Nicky Adle back to hear more about “The French Touch” and how 31 Million women manage and maintain effortless chic and the decadence of French cuisine – without twisting their ankles or gaining a gram.

In the first workshop, we learned the secrets of switching from flip-flops to heels and how to accentuate our assets with accessories and “standard items” in our wardrobe.

Today we will extend our foray into the “French Touch” by discovering The Secrets of French Nutrition. In this workshop you will learn:

-       French women’s approach to weight, satisfaction, pleasure, etc.

-       The tradeoffs they face and decisions they make, the mindset they use regarding food

-       Social norms on dieting and guilt, but also snacking, junk food as well as alcohol

-       The tricks they use on a regular basis

-       Typical meals and recipes for you and your family

-       And finally, the secret, the one and only rule you’ll need to apply, like 31 Million French women do

31 Million is a personal style consultancy that trains women on the ins and outs of French fashion whilst exposing them to the secrets of French style and nutrition. Our focus is to offer women in their 20’s to 50’s French style and nutrition lessons, organize for personal wardrobe consultations, arrange exclusive and fun Paris shopping trips, as well as provide a rental platform where women can gain access to French-styled clothing and accessories for any occasion.

31 Million started as a fun venture in Amsterdam, where Franco-Iranian Nicky Adle was missing the action of Paris shopping and decided to spread the word that French women don’t have more taste than others but simply dress and eat according to implicit rules that together constitute the French Touch. Raised in Paris, Nicky has been living in and out of France for the past 15 years, has never (ever!) shopped outside her hometown, or given up on her French eating habits. Like most Parisians, she knows the capital’s shops, current styles and future trends.

On weekdays Nicky is an INSEAD MBA graduate and internet entrepreneur, currently launching wondersale.nl, a promotions and discounts webshop that activates on key calendar dates such as Sinterklaas, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.
