Tuesday, April 6, 2010 – 19H00-21H30 at KPMG

Do you have a blue print for creating the life you are dreaming about? Do you know what your success looks like? Like most people, you deserve to be successful but you may not have an effective system to rely on. You need a plan, methods to use every day and a support system that keeps you energized and inspired. Success is achieved by design and effort not by chance.

Why are results not showing up? If you are not getting the results you want, you are missing a success plan and a good compass.

Please join us for what promises to be another exciting meeting with a dynamic and energetic speaker – Hervé Da Costa.
Hervé, whose time is spent coaching executive boards about creating high performance organizations, juggles his roles as Managing Director at Softlink International & Associates, Affiliate Professor at EM-Lyon, and Leadership Coach at Companies such as Google, Sanofi, Orange, Sephora-LVMH, Volvo will guide us through the meeting.

Working mainly in the US and Europe, Hervé helps executives become transformational leaders and realize their vision. In addition to his Master’s Degree in Computer Sciences and a certificate in Marketing from UC Berkeley, he has over 20 years of experience as a senior executive in Silicon Valley and has served as Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Operations at Scientific Learning in California (NASDAQ listed since 1999). He has received the Exceptional Management Award from the Chancellor of the University of California and the Outstanding Teaching Award from the UC Berkeley Society of Electrical Engineers.
