We are delighted to have Xavier Palou flying in to be our guest speaker.
After completing his studies at the prestigious Institut d'Études Politiques de Paris, Xavier worked in marketing and communication positions at Air France, IPSOS and other big companies in France.
At the age of 38 years, he started teaching part-time in several universities and schools. Later on, with other entrepreneurs who shared the idea of the importance of the formation of virtues, he founded an innovative business school called EMD; https://www.emd.fr/
EMD School of business has set a lofty goal for itself: to train future managers whilst surrounding its teaching with an ethical vision of humankind and human engagement. Openness to the world, the respect which all people deserve, and an awareness that work must be done responsibly in the service of others are all values cultivated at EMD. Thanks to a teaching style which focuses on developing the whole person, EMD contributes to companies’ growth and to the good of society.
Xavier, will explain to us how, EMD managed to setup this school and how we can also contribute to the formation of the virtues of our employees and partners as a key to success.
