Unexpected and Unique! Twenty 20-year-old students from the BTS Commercial Management of the Lycée La Mennais in Ploërmel, France experienced a very lively Workshop on Friday April 13th 2023. “To be a Coach of my life”? It means knowing myself better, listening to how others talk about my qualities, sharing my vision of success and being inspired by two Witnesses. These witnesses are: Gabriel Deshayes – Founder and Co-Founder of Religious Congregations and Social initiatives to help people in difficulty and – Antoine Faber, former CEO of the Danone Group and now engaged in the creation of new Ethical Economic references. At the end, of two hours of exchanges and strong words heard: “It’s too much positive for my life! “. Explanations
” Positive “. “Smiling”. ” At the service of others “
“Cindy you are always positive and attentive. Emmanuel, you spend your time helping others. Clara you are listening and smiling. “So many positive things, it’s too much!” expressed the participants on this Sunny afternoon. A moment like suspended time. “This calm weather is too weird, we are usually always speedy with the Lessons” assured Ludovic.
Listen to the qualities of each other. A moment like suspended time.

What could be more coherent for BTS Commerce Students than to discuss their strengths and qualities, to share the role of a Team, to discuss ways of managing a Project and winning attitudes and behaviors.

What is my definition of success today? And how to be useful and flourish?
During a Two-Hour Workshop as part of the Commercial Management Course, five Teachers and Animators contributed to living this moment: François Lançon and Mathilde Leorat, Teachers in Eco-Management-Law, Anne Moal, Pastoral Animator, Bro Claude Launay and Michel Tanguy, from the Association of Friends of Gabriel Deshayes.
