Whether discussing philosophy, entrepreneurship, pushing boundaries or public speaking, each talk highlighted the ability to step outside one’s comfort zone and embrace change.
The event was organised by a team of enthusiasts from the Léo Talks association at the Léonard de Vinci campus, who worked for several months to put together an evening rich in discussion and inspiration.
