SUMMARY:Venus Genius: Book Launch and Mini-Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Catalyst Ranch welcomes the “Venus Genius” author to explore how ‘Your Feminine traits are the Magic of Innovation’ \nVenus Genius: Book Celebration and Mini-Workshop with Fabienne Jacquet\n\nIn this lunchtime workshop\, Catalyst Ranch invites you to meet Fabienne Jacquet\, author of Venus Genius: The Female Prescription for Innovation\, newly published in December 2020 and recognized as the Kindle #1 New Release in 8 categories\, including Business Consulting\, Strategic Management and Organizational Change. \nFabienne will lead a short interactive workshop exploring the different feminine traits that produce successful innovation. \nFrom Fabienne: \nIn my 30+ years of experience in innovation and through research\, I observed that creating from our emotions and heart is absolutely critical to design meaningful and sustainable innovation. \nIn this interactive session\, I will demystify innovation and demonstrate how women are naturally equipped to innovate with specific feminine traits like empathy\, nurturing\, inclusivity\, intuition\, gratitude and collaboration. We will discuss the masculine and feminine aspects (including the brain and its plasticity) as both are necessary for successful innovation. \nThose feminine skills are also critical to explore solutions that could better serve women in their specific needs and lifestyles while avoiding the “pink it and shrink it” syndrome. We will explore some examples in health\, finance\, apparel\,…There are clear business opportunities to capture\, by emotionally connecting with women. \n\n\nFor a more in-depth exchange during this webinar\, attendees are encouraged to purchase the ebook or the paperback in advance of the session. \n \nVenus Genius: The Female Prescription for Innovation explores innovation from different perspectives: historical\, scientific\, sociological\, cultural and practical — all through the feminine lens. It addresses the shortage of women in innovation and how important it is to address this as a first step to inclusion. This book reveals that any innovator can acquire the necessary skills to create meaningful innovation. ‘Venus Genius’ is about celebrating the duality of the feminine and the masculine in all human beings and dares us to activate both energies to create innovation that brings true value to our world. \n  \n\nVenus Genius is available via these booksellers (Click to purchase): Amazon\, Rakuten Kobo\, and Barnes & Noble.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE AUTHOR\nFABIENNE JACQUET: While she was by no means predestined for the sciences\, Fabienne Jacquet\, a natural born rebel\, graduated as Docteur d’Etat (PhD) in Organic Chemistry from Institut National Polytechnique in Toulouse\, France. Fabienne has a successful career as a scientist and innovator who has worked with prestigious companies including Colgate-Palmolive. She brings her fearlessness and resilience to all that she sets her mind to\, including her own company\, INNOVEVE®\, dedicated to bringing feminine DNA to the progression of innovation. She is always dreaming up fresh\, fun and dynamic ideas in the name of celebrating female empowerment and the evolution of innovative thought. \n  \n\n\n\nABOUT THE HOST\nCATALYST RANCH is the authority on Creative Meetings and Events\, providing solutions for your in-person and virtual meeting needs.
