PWN Nice Cote d'Azur Newsletter - November 2022
As we continue to profit from the beautiful weather on the French Riviera, the Board of PWN Nice Côte d'Azur is excited to share some memories of the events that made October a very special month. We have several events in November that you could enjoy, and of course, our Winter Holiday party is coming up fast, so don't forget to save the date!
UPCOMING EVENTS
PWN Round Table Lunch
03 NOVEMBER, 12:00 - 14:00, RESTAURANT L'EMBLEME, MORATOGLOU RESORT
The focus of the round table will be on sharing experiences and tips on how to notice burn-out signs and tackle them effectively. The event will be held at the Restaurant L'Emblème, Mouratoglou Resort and hosted by Lena Beck Rorvig.
Join us for an open exchange of experiences, sharing tips on mental well-being and getting inspired by other PWN members.
Sharing experiences is a great way to learn and help others, as well as an excellent way to get to know each other and make new connections. We ensure that we all are included, and we can both be serious and laugh during a nice lunch.
Set business lunch is offered by the venue (approximate cost of 30 EUR).
Special diets will be accommodated on the spot.
SAVE THE DATE - Business Expo and Winter Party
We are excited to announce that this year’s Business Expo will take place in person (both 2020 and 2021 events were held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic).
The event will be held at 17:30 on December 2nd, 2022, and focused on three key events:
- Business Expo, offering space to present your company and create new business opportunities.
- Short Keynote: Research-based presentation by our president, Amanda Noz, on the current status of Professional Women in the Workforce, followed by Round Tables hosted by our Board members on relevant topics for our members
- Our signature Mentoring Program 2023 Launch: active networking with your peers to support your personal and professional aspirations.
However, we are not all work and no play! You will be pleased to learn that after the business part of our event, we will gather for the end-of-the-year celebration around a cocktail followed by a delicious dinner.
We'll send a separate email with the details of the venue and registration shortly. Check your email and sign up for our WhatsApp channel if you haven't already.
Discover your authentic voice to pitch with success
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 24TH, 18:30 - 20:00
Our voice conveys so much about ourselves. When the voice is calm, the body is relaxed, and the mind calms down. When we learn to control our voice, the message becomes clear, and we come across as confident and convincing.
'What a joy it is when we touch our audience with confidence simply.Because our voice is working for us and not against us.'
This workshop with Anne Dalmasso will teach you how to use your voice for even greater impact, and you will learn practical tools that you can use immediately. Anne is a professional singer, a Master of Psychology at Aix-en-Provence, and a holistic care practitioner. She approaches all aspects of spoken and singing voices. Please go to Anne's website to learn more about her.
The class is held in a mix of English and French.
We will work with the following:
Deep breath & breathing (abdominal, coastal)
Body exercises and relaxation
Finding the right posture
Reading texts and articulate
Voice modulation & expressiveness
Singing & vocalization
Discover your authentic voice in coherence with your true self to pitch and convince!
Venue: "Le Lab'Oratoire" 10 Traverse du Barri – Garbejaire Sophia-Antipolis 06560 Valbonne
Price: 25€ per person - PWN members
Mentorship program update
Mentee event 27 September
Following a successful event in July for all participants in the mentoring programme, we held a virtual mentee meetup on September 27th. The focus of this event was to get to know each other better.
Mentor Event October 6th
We held an in-person mentor meetup on October 6th where we had fun getting to know each other and finding out what we had in common.
End of the 2022 programme
All good things must come to an end and we will be celebrating the end of the 2022 mentoring programme at the year-end event on December 2nd. We will be hearing from one or two mentors on their experience of the mentoring programme. Thanks to all the participants who worked hard to achieve their objectives and to the mentors who give their time and energy to accompanying young leaders in their journey of development.
Launch of the 2023 Mentoring Programme
The 2023 programme is now open to applicants. If you are interested in applying to be either a mentor or a mentee, please click on this link.

Applications will close on Thursday, December 15th 2022. The matching process will take place during December and early January we will kick off mid-January 2023 with the new programme.
Past events: UNIQUENESS IS YOUR POWER
A special evening, working with our unique power took place last month and was sponsored by our partner Marina Rinaldi, an iconic Italian fashion brand and YA.BY, is a beauty company that combines using masks with meditation to ensure you practice holistic self-care.
To inspire and motivate us, we invited Valérie Ausseil and Lala Laprun.
Valerie asked Lala four unique appreciative inquiry questions and afterwards, we worked on the same questions and shared our experiences.
We all had some great takeaways – especially the last question: 'If you had a magic wand, what three things would we wish for our future.' It was wonderful to share our dreams and ambitions. Doing this exercise spontaneously brings out surprising answers and clarity. Do try this at home!
We ended the evening with canapes and sandwiches and left with a wonderful goodie bag made by Marina Rinaldi and YA.BE.
Thank you, everyone, for participating and making it a unique experience.
