#5 - Philippine Delouvrier đŹđ§ - The lesson of optimism (English Version)
Four years ago, Philippine Delouvrier founded in London Escape & Co., an event and communication agency, centred around the themes that drives her: gastronomy, art and travel. Since then, the Parisian lives in Zurich, and creates events of all kinds in almost all the capitals of Europe. Whether they take place in Milan, Barcelona, Geneva, Paris, London or Zurich, all are stamped with her good taste.Â
Her social networks are full of ideas for charming restaurants and hotels. The latest project of the young mother? The launch of a collection of "Mum of ..." T-shirts featuring mothers from all those cities that Philippine knows like the back of her hand.Â
I was already impressed by her hard work and what she had developed on her very own. When I met her, one sunny morning in July, I got amazed by her positivism, her energy and her open-mindedness.Â
In this discussion, we talk about business of course, she explains her career path and what led this former employee to entrepreneurship. Philippine explains me her successes as well as her fears. We also talk about family, couples, her life as an Expatâ that she wouldn't leave for anything in the world, and the place of women in our society.Â

Brillantes, the new podcast by Jeanne du Sartel
00:38|Welcome to Brillantes,the podcast with a French accent, which gives a voice to women who move the lines. My name is Jeanne du Sartel and between Zurich, where I live, and Paris where I come from, my goal is to meet the sparkling, powerful, talented and inspiring women, with atypical backgrounds and beautiful projects, to understand what drives them and makes them move forward.Discussions that, I hope, will encourage you to think outside the box, cross your boundaries and develop your own brilliant projects.Â1. #1 - Charlotte von Stotzingen: At the crossroads between art and humanitarian work
53:58||Season 1, Ep. 1For the first episode of Brillantes, I am welcoming Charlotte von Stotzingen. Why? Well, first of all, because Charlotte is one of those personalities that naturally shine⊠These passionate and fascinating women, whose charisma is beyond dispute. But also because Charlotte von Stotzingen is an entrepreneur at heart. In just a few years, the young woman has managed to create a tailor-made career for herself, at the crossroads between the two worlds that drive her: art and humanitarian aid, between Paris, Zurich and Kenya. After studying business and art history, and a few years of experience in the field, Charlotte decides, with her husband, to drop her comfortable job and start a crazy humanitarian project in Kenya. The goal? To train young people in the remote region of Turkana in ICT, to enable them to work as freelancers. Back in Europe, she launched Thanks for Nothing, a philanthropic association whose aim is to mobilise the world of culture to promote solidarity. Finally, in Zurich, Charlotte has been heading for the past three years the Zurich Art Weekend, which highlights the artistic scene of the Swiss economic capital, just before Art Basel.Together, we talk about the impact that the Covid crisis has had on her activities and her daily life. Charlotte looks back with honesty at each of her projects, from their origin to their financing. We talk about the power of art and the impact it can have on society. Charlotte tells me about the art scene in Zurich, we discuss the role of galleries and the need for democratization. Have a great time listening! xxxTime codes 3:30 : Mother Theresa, a âbrilliantâ women for Charlotte 5â22 : The coronavirus crisis, a period of opportunities 7â10 : How the art industry reacted to Coronavirus 10â50 : The experience of art 11â49 : Childhood and Studies 13â17 : Art as a passion 16â50 : Getting engaged for humanitarian work 18â13 : Launching Learning Lions in Turkana, Kenya 21â44 : A successful project, winner of the âGoogle Impact Challengeâ25â20 : Bridging the art and humanitarian causes: the creation of âThanks for Nothingâ in Paris 27â47 : The first event of Thanks for Nothing, in the Palais de Tokyo (Paris)29â40 : Using the voice of the artists to get people together for important causes 32â49 : Launching the Zurich Art Weekend 34â37 : The Zurich art scene 37â16 : The art market in Switzerland 39â19 : Art galleries & democratisation 43â15 : Make the art scene accessible all year long 44â32 : The challenges of small organisations, between Paris, Zurich and Kenya47â02 : Natural networking & tips 49â52 : The challenge of women 50â43 : Ending questionsTo follow Charlotte's projects: Zurich Art Weekend (Zurich): https://zurichartweekend.com/Thanks for Nothing (Paris) : https://thanksfornothing.fr/en/homepage/Activities in Kenya: Learning Lions: https://www.learninglions.org/index.php?gclid=Cj0KCQjwp4j6BRCRARIsAGq4yMGLB384VOp-uJcQfhFnEtAHDylujgwWWJkmVWSMBVOeKacStCo6nQ4aArMLEALw_wcBStart up Lions: https://startuplions.org/Help me grow up Brillantes! If you liked the episode, please share it with as many people as possible, rate it with 5 stars and subscribe to the podcast on your listening platform.

56:49||Season 1, Ep. 3Wies Bratby, my guest this week, is fighting every day for more female recognition in the workplace. Her choice of weapon? The art of negotiation. For several years now, she has been helping women like you and me to gain recognition in the workplace and on the job market, whether itâs for a higher position or salary. The studies are telling: although women tend to be excellent negotiators for their surroundings or company, they don't fight enough for their own interests. And yet... without negotiation, the wage gap widens, the glass ceiling cannot be broken and motivation at work declines. You will hear Wies reflect on her childhood and how a passion for negotiation led her from the largest law firm in her country to head of HR in a global company in Hong Kong. She also tells me what drove her to set up her own firm, Women in Negotiation (WIN). But the essential part of this rather exceptional episode is centred on the âwhyâ and how-tos of negotiation (from the 23rd minute). You'll find tips and tricks, the essential checklist before landing in your bossâs office, or before setting the price of your product. The Dutch native also explains the strength of crafting and tapping into your network and the community. Whether you are just starting your career or you already have high responsibilities, whether you are unemployed, building a business from scratch or already running a successful startup, you should all be hanging on her every word!Time codes 03:36 Surrounded by sparkling women 05:52 The need for flexibility in the work place as one of the main learning from the Covid crisis 07:55 Successfully working together with her husband 08:51 Being raised in a tiny village in the Netherlands 09:34 Advocating for others: a life-long passion, leading to negotiation 11:21 Starting her career in a big law firm from the Netherlands 12:55 Starting her career without negotiating: or how to become her first client 15:52 Moving to Hong-Kong and shifting to HR 17:44 The cultural fit as the main success indicator 19:05 Helping people do their best work and making them shine through HR 21:29 Launching negotiation trainings inside her company 23:11 The global difficulty for women to negotiate 24:43 Why are women naturally better negotiators than menâŠ26:16 ⊠but negotiation on their own behalf goes against their education 27:45 The need to work on internal self-estime 28:30 âIt costs a company between 100% and 400% of someoneâs annual salary to replace that personâ30:21 Valuing the people, or how to unleash motivation, passion and good work 32:56 Negotiating requires hard work 34:46 Quick and dirty tips for your negotiation : Prepare properly and aim high 37:22 The difference between being a negotiator or not in financial terms 38:40 Helping startups set up the right (and high!) prices - because price and value are connected in peopleâs mind 41:04 Your customers become a ton more of fun the more you charge! 42:36 The gender inequality for startups and fund-raising 44:12 Breaking gender biaises through education48:13 Connecting people and ideas, all over the world 49:40 Creating a âold girls networkâ, and pear support through the Lean In organisation  51:49 âWe are stronger togetherâ53:18 Final questions Interesting links and references Social mediasOn Linkedin account: https://www.linkedin.com/in/womeninnegotiation/On instagram Her account: https://www.instagram.com/wiesbratby/WIN account: https://www.instagram.com/womeninnegotiation/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WomenInNegotiationInteresting websites Her company Women in Negociation : https://womeninnegotiation.org/Lean in Switzerland: https://www.leaninswitzerland.org/References Book that shifted her way to think: Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In (2011), by Roger Fisher The women she would like to hear in a Brillantes episode : Fungai Mettler https://www.fungaimettler.com/Help me grow up Brillantes! If you liked the episode, please share it with as many people as possible, rate it with 5 stars and subscribe to the podcast on your listening platform.

01:02:54||Season 1, Ep. 6Raphaela Pichler is a photographer, artist, consultant, musician ... Certainly one of the most creative Zurich women I know. Her signature? natural, benevolent portraits, with plays of light, delicacy and harmony. Raphaela works for fashion and advertising, but her speciality lies in portraying women.In 2019, she got nominated as the best photograph of the year for her biggest artist project, Currency. In this ongoing series of self-portraits, she uses the codes of fashion photography to challenge the notion of value. With her twin sister Marisa Burn, she has also created the House of Change, an institute dedicated to creativity and change. As consultants, they help companies, leaders and individuals to put creativity, authenticity and courage back at the heart of their journey. In this episode, Raphaela describes her passion for photography, her professional beginnings, her successes. But we also talk about her disappointments, the challenges she is facing as a freelancer, as well as her fears and uncertainties. In this deep discussion, Raphaela explains how she recently became an artist. She shares with me her poetic vision of the world and opens my eyes to what creativity can bring to our society. Finally, of course, we talk about women and their status, and we discuss about feminism. So don't waste a minute, take a deep dive into Raphaelaâs creative universe, open your mind and let yourself be inspired by this beautiful conversation.  Time codes4:45 Being surrounded by close sparkling women 5â56 A free and artistic mind, in a small village in Aargau, Switzerland 6:53 An early passion for photography⊠disconnected from the reality of the work  11â36 Learning to become a photographer : From analog to digital photography 15â15 Making the difference as a young independent photographer17:45 When Photography becomes an art 20:30 Portraying women as a passion 23â10 Making the perfect portrait26â26 The Currency project: Challenging the concept of value28â36 Facing the struggles of the Media industry 33â21 Going through the Covid Crisis as an artist 34â41 The âHouse of changeâ, an institute for creativity and change with her Twin sister 39â04 Questioning legitimacy + the need to work on our human skills  42â00 Contribute to creating a better world, by helping, inspiring and connecting people45â38 Working on your creativity 47â40 Working and partnering with a (twin) sister  50â07 The fears that lies behind the freedom of being self-employed 52â45 Organising your time and working on a creative environment 55â18 Sorority and feminism as a way of life 58â17 Final questions Interesting links and references To follow RaphaelaWebsite: www.raphaelapichler.ch/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/raphaela-pichler-793997195/Instagram: www.instagram.com/raphaelapichler/To follow her ProjectsCurrency Instagram: www.instagram.com/currencymag/Website: www.raphaelapichler.ch/currencyHouse of Change by BurnPichler: Website: https://www.burnpichler.com/Instagram: www.instagram.com/houseofchangeby/References in the episodes  Inspiring podcasts and episodesPodcast Astropod Alexander von Schlieffen : https://astropod-schlieffen.de/Brillantes Podcast - Zineb Hattab, (Kle Restaurant): https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/2-zineb-hattab-from-engineering-to-haute-vegan-cuisine/id1528977353?i=1000489702745&l=frBrillantes Podcast - Wies Bratby (Women in Negociation): https://podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/3-wies-bratby-negotiation-as-a-weapon-for-women/id1528977353?i=1000490301431&l=frPeople she is talking about Her twin sister Marisa Burn: marisaburn.comHer inspiring friend Kathrin Eckhardt: www.kathrineckhardt.com/Help me grow up Brillantes! If you liked the episode, please share it with as many people as possible, rate it with 5 stars, add a nice comment and subscribe to the podcast on your listening platform.

55:56||Season 1, Ep. 7She has not finished her studies yet, but is already fighting on a daily basis to make her professional sector, tech, a more inclusive one. A place where women and men would fight on equal terms.Three years ago, CĂ©line Nauer co-founded Code Excursion, a coding school by and for women, conceived as a community. There, she teaches women about programming, in a helpful, passionate and including way. Her goal? To help and encourage women take ownership of such a male-dominated sector.  Since the beginning of her studies, CĂ©line has been navigating in the least feminized academic and professional environments, science and technology. Today, women still represent on average only 30% of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) students. And this percentage decreases with the expertise level: only 5% of leadership positions in the tech sector are held by women. But these figures have never discouraged CĂ©line. After a bachelor's degree in physics at the University of Zurich, the woman whose aim in life is to learn as much as possible, is now finishing her master's degree in Neuroscience and Computation at the ETH. In this interview, Celine tells how the gender-neutral education she received pushed her down this path. She explains how her years at university, between Zurich and Taiwan, but also in the industry, at Swiss Post Solutions, convinced her to fight for parity and equality in tech and science. Through her clear and concrete examples, CĂ©line describes why the scientific world today is anything but meritocratic. We talk about the gender bias that the algorithms that shape our daily lives carry within them, and she demonstrates the absolute necessity for diversity in the tech and scientific worlds. Roles models, female initiatives, quotas: we go though all the solutions that can be implemented to promote gender quality. To everyone who you is thinking about learning how to code, or who would just like to better understand those crucial topics for our democracies, I invite you to dive into this exciting and challenging conversation! Time Codes 4:52 A brilliant mind: Corina, co-founder of Code Excursion 6:36 Being introduced and encouraged to go into science at an early ageStudies, between Zurich and Taiwan 8:44 Choosing physics: the rational choice to get the most of her studies 10:55 How âI think therefore I amâ from Descartes convinced CĂ©line to go into Physics 13:17 Shifting to neuro Sciences and Computation 14:54 Studying at the Institute of Neuro informatics (UZH and ETH) 17:06 Celineâs Master thesis: getting inspired by insects brains to develop navigational algorithms  18:22 Next career steps? 19:25 Taiwanese vs Swiss studies 22:30 âThe science world is not a meritocracyâ 24:22 Studying in a male-dominated environment 26:14 Facing sexism amongst the students body 27:55 Why it is important to break the glass ceiling 29:12 Female professors should be our role models Code excursion30:51 The need for a safe and benevolent learning environment for coding 34:19 The importance of coding knowhow in a digitised society 37:00 A non-profit organisation, dedicated to women, based on a community 40:48 The impact of the lack of women in the tech industry (eg of the Swiss Post Solutions and Ava Women)  44:27 How machine learning algorithms can reproduce the biases of our society 48:24 Sorority as a main weapon to fight inequality and gender biaises in tech 51:20 Final questions Links and references To follow Code Excursion : Website: codeexcursion.ch/LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/school/code-excursion/Instagram: www.instagram.com/codeexcursion/Facebook: www.facebook.com/codeexcursionswitzerlandTo follow CĂ©line Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/celinenauer/References in the episodes  The Institute of Neuro Informatics (ETH and University of Zurich): www.ini.uzh.ch/en.htmlI think therefore I am, Descartes: http://faculty.winthrop.edu/sinnj/HMXP_102/Readings/Rene_Descartes.pdfPeople she is talking about Corina Schedler, Co-Founder of Code Excursion: www.linkedin.com/in/corinaschedler/Nora Wilhelm, Co-Founder Collaboratio Helvatica: www.norawilhelm.org/Help me grow up Brillantes! If you liked the episode, please share it with as many people as possible, rate it with 5 stars and subscribe to the podcast on your listening platform.
