Training programs and lectures
Thousands of professionals have already attended my lectures and workshops on management, strategy and professional development.
“I found myself at a crossroads but Avy’s exercises helped me focus my intentions and redirect myself in a way that I was very happy with.”
Tiran, International Relationships Specialist
I keep seeing two main characteristics among highly-performing professionals:
They have the skills needed to do the work they are expected to do;
They have embraced the intellectual depth of the challenges they have to crack.
That’s why in my workshops I focus on experimenting with concepts and techniques and how they can serve with making progress.
My programs are designed to be rich, dynamic and pragmatic.
They will challenge your team and accelerate their professional development.

Training programs
I deliver full-day programs and courses. Available in person and on Zoom.
They come with a consulting component: I offer to meet individual participants and teams to help them integrate what we learned in their professional practice.
Managing chaos: a new managerial approach
The perfect training for managers who want to:
- Refine their own management style and practices through innovative principles
- Develop a sustainable structure to manage team relationships and work processes
- Implement practical strategies to reduce stress and burnout from their managerial experience
Most managers I have worked with describe their day-to-day experience as being overwhelmed by a chaos of emails, meetings, and documents. An endless race against time, stress, and burnout.
Instead of chasing temporary fixes or of deluding ourselves that we can achieve eternal order, we can explore a new managerial paradigm based on a set of fundamental dynamic principles.
The systematic manager: integrating strategy, coordination and thoughtful decision-making
Best practices for building and managing dynamic work processes
How to leverage problem solving processes to trigger your team’s professional growth
We will also address key themes such as workflow management, effective delegation, and productive communication.
The “Managing Chaos” training is a space to focus on what truly matters by challenging your professional beliefs and experiment with new strategies.
The map and the territory: strategic thinking in action
The perfect training for professionals who:
- Feel stuck in stale strategic thinking patterns
- Crave innovative yet pragmatic problem-solving approaches
- Seek a radically rethinking of their approach towards reaching the organizational outcomes
I often see how the way many teams develop strategies is static, boring, and disconnected from operational reality. The solutions proposed take the shape of long presentations that are so full of buzzwords that become devoid of practical meaning. There are better ways to do strategic work.
The training is based on the exploration and practice of strategy development and problem-solving processes. Among other components, it includes:
What distinguishes impractical strategy from useful strategy
Methodologies to develop effective strategies for complex environments
The map and the territory: how to integrate new learnings during the implementation phase
Through engaging exercises, we'll learn techniques to design creative and systemic solutions, and translate bold ideas into concrete and pragmatic actions.
The 15% advantage: mastering lifelong learning
The perfect training for professionals who:
- Seek continuous reinvention through lifelong learning practices
- Desire practical strategies to craft immersive learning experiences and integrate learning into routines that maximize engagement and knowledge retention
- Want a deeper understanding of how adults optimally explore new knowledge and transform perspectives
Our professional success and our sense of meaning depend on our learning capacities.
They taught us that “proper” learning ends with school, but now we know that the societal and technological progress wants us to embrace a journey of continuous learning.
Through an exploration of Knowles’ Adult Learning principles and hands-on exercises, you’ll master techniques for critical reflection, problem-based learning and for integrating learning opportunities into your day-to-day.
The training focuses on the infrastructure needed to promote the development of new competencies, ignite curiosity, and adopt a strong lifelong learning approach - including:
Principles of adult learning and their implementation in professional development settings
Best practices for the design of innovative learning experiences
Techniques for integrating reflective and explorative habits in our lifestyle
“Mastering lifelong learning” is a transformative journey that will radically redefine your approach to learning and work. An invite to ditch the ordinary and embrace the mindset of the eternally inquisitive.

Lectures and workshops
My circle of competence includes ideas and methodologies at the nexus of adult learning, complex problem solving and strategic management.
If you want to expose your team to transformative ideas – I can take care of it. Available in person and on Zoom.
These are my most popular lectures:
01 / From strategy to action
How do we facilitate the transition from strategy talk to concrete results? In this pragmatic workshop, we'll deconstruct the concept of strategy piece by piece. You'll define the outcomes that truly matter, you'll learn how to build a work plan that adapt to changing circumstances, and to align every daily decision with your strategic plan. You'll leave the workshop with a crystal-clear understanding of what strategy really is and the tools to transform it into tangible progress. |  |
02 / Time, tasks and progress
 | We are constantly bombarded with endless to-do lists, incessant notifications, and unrealistic expectations. How can we break free from this vicious cycle and regain control of our time and energy? In this workshop you’ll dismiss the old paradigm that says that being slaves to work is the only way to be effective and find new, empowering strategies. You'll learn how to leverage technology to manage your time and tasks, how to build healthy relationships with colleagues and superiors, and how to plan your schedule intelligently. You’ll discover how to focus on what truly matters while letting go of what you can't control. |
03 / Masters of chaos
The world is not as linear as we believe: planning, coordinating, and keeping track are not enough to achieve excellent results. Chaotic environments elude our repeated attempts at taking control. In this workshop we'll explore frameworks and methodologies to best manage chaos and complexity. We'll learn to act dynamically with projects, people and events, and adapt to ever-changing circumstances. You'll discover how to play with chaos instead of getting frustrated when plans don't go as expected. |  |
04 / Adult learning secrets
 | The greatest risk for a professional is becoming redundant - useless to their organization and themselves. To avoid this, we must embrace continuous learning and constant growth. In this workshop we'll explore proven methodologies, models, and case studies that reveal the secrets to a life of curiosity and lifelong learning. We'll learn how to create stimulating growth opportunities for you and for your colleagues, going beyond the classic corporate trainings. The goal: excellence and an exciting work experience for all. |
05 / The systematic manager
Being a brilliant professional is not enough to become a successful manager. Specific skills are required to systematically manage processes, people, and achieve ambitious goals. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn the fundamental principles of a managerial approach that combines systematization and dynamism. You'll develop lean capacities to lead a team in a structured yet flexible way, while identifying obstacles and accelerators along the path. You'll learn how to problem-solve and align your team towards challenging milestones. The “systematic manager” approach is a compass for a path of managerial excellence. You'll discover how to translate your existing capacities into solid, lasting team results. |  |
