Speaker of the day: Nicolas Clément — Creativity and Innovation
Every day we spotlight one voice from the UnoMe network. Today: Nicolas Clément, Creativity and Innovation — one of the keynote speakers we recommend for corporate events and conferences in Al Ain, Riyadh and across the GCC.
Who is Nicolas Clément?
Nicolas Clément is a magician, mentalist, and speaker. His goal is to inspire people to think differently ("like a magician") when faced with problems or challenges.
At 19, he moved to England with a diploma in hospitality management. He progressed quickly and at 21 became restaurant manager in a Michelin two-star establishment. After several years in hospitality and luxury retail, Nicolas found himself working as a House Manager for one of the wealthiest families in the world. In this environment, "no" is not an answer, and solutions must be found in the most difficult situations. Thinking like a magician helped him to have a different mindset.
He brought a touch of magic… to the Davos Forum!
Passionate about magic since he was very young, he decided in 2010 to make it his profession. Since then, he has performed at over 1500 events in 19 countries and his clients include Prince Charles, Brian May, Bono, Bruno Mars, Amazon, McKinsey, The World Economic Forum in Davos, Apple, Rothschild banking…
This quote from Einstein has become his motto:
"No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
Languages spoken by the speaker:
- French
- English
Nicolas Clément gives conferences in French-speaking Switzerland (Geneva, Lausanne, Vaud, Neuchâtel…).
Why magic?
As magicians, we create tricks to deceive people. In a magic trick, you have the effect, what the spectator sees (a car will disappear, for example), and the method (how we do it). We can compare problem-solving to creating a trick. We must be creative to find a method (that no one else would think of) to achieve something that seems impossible.It is important to solve problems in the best possible way. If we don't, it can lead, for example, to a loss of customers and revenue, a bad reputation, bad reviews (online), employee turnover…
Through a fun and engaging presentation, with examples and anecdotes, Nicolas Clément will teach your guests / teams / participants how to think like a magician and how to find the best solutions to their problems. He will use several examples from his experience to convey his message.
