September is here, and with it comes La Rentrée – the French tradition of fresh starts after summer, with that wonderful sense of renewal and fresh beginnings that comes with autumn's arrival.
For our HEC community in the UK, this is a great time to reconnect, start new projects, and make the most of our strong alumni network. We are starting September in style! Next week, we have the pleasure of welcoming 300 bright finance students to London for their exciting learning expedition. A heartfelt thank you to all our dedicated alumni who are involved in making this enriching experience possible for our students. It's truly wonderful to see our young alumni step forward to mentor and connect with the new generation - these meaningful relationships between cohorts are the heart of what makes our HEC family so special.

Discover LinkedIn like you have never seen it through the eyes of a headhunter. This workshop will give you all the keys to master the tool:
Your "to be" list is so much more powerful than your "to do" list. Think about a potential "to be" list: I am going to be courageous, to trust myself, to be confident that I can handle whatever comes my way... and compare it with your current "to do" list. Which is life changing?
This webinar will help you identify what could be your "to be" list for right now and give you an insight into the power of coaching.
