What can I offer you?
Combining my experience as a hiring manager and as a successful marketing executive, I will help you to create your unique personal brand, and will coach you to give your best at your next interview.

Showcasing yourself and your results in the best light during an interview can be challenging. To give yourself the best chance to shine you need to:

-be ready for the most common interviewing questions and techniques

-have a top notch elevator speech

I will run a mock interview, and give you feedback and advice. I will also help you to work on your elevator speech which I believe is the most important part of an interview

Being myself at the head of my company for 4 years, I went through all the stages of the creation of a company. I would be delighted to be able to save you time by teaching you everything I learned from my early experience.

I can guide you on the beginnings of business creation, give you ideas and effective methods to grow but also talk to you about what exists as help / support to move forward on the best path.

I also know the different intense phases of entrepreneurial life so I could tell you about them and help you get through them :)

Start a new business always would be a challenge, where you need to understand the different variables that influence the succeed of a new entrepreneurship.

In this class you would learn the how to use the business model CANVAS which is a strategic management and lean startup template for developing new or documenting existing business models. It is a visual chart with elements describing a firm's or product's value proposition, infrastructure, customers, and finances. It would help you to understand how your business need to work to achieve the succeed.

Every kid has ideas. Most never do anything with them.
This course changes that.

I believe inside every kid is an entrepreneur. Not necessarily someone who wants to be "CEO" but someone capable of seeing a problem, imagining a solution, and making it real.

In this course, your child will:
✓ Develop a real business idea: something they actually care about, not an abstract project
✓ Understand the market: Who needs this? Why? Who else offers it? Why would theirs be better?
✓ Create a simple business plan: the version that actually works, not 50 pages of jargon
✓ Design a brand: logo, name, story. Why their business exists (not just to make money)
✓ Build and test their idea: even at small scale, they'll see if people actually want what they created
✓ Learn to lead a team: we work in groups, so they'll experience real collaboration
✓ Use technology smartly: real tools to grow a business
✓ Get feedback from real entrepreneurs: not just from me, but from people building things right now

Why this is different:
Most "entrepreneurship courses for kids" teach theory. Here we build something real.
Your child won't just learn about entrepreneurship. They'll experience it: having an idea, developing it, sharing it, and getting genuine feedback.

Some will have a business. Others will discover it's not for them. Both are successes because they learned something real about themselves.

What they take home:
A complete business plan. A brand they designed. A presentation they delivered. And most importantly: the conviction that their ideas matter and they can make them real.

Format: Online or Barcelona | 60–90 min sessions | Group and individual work, flexible

For kids with big ideas and adults who want to nurture them.
