International Lunch: Middle East – Liverpool Chamber

by
Liverpool Chamber of Commerce in partnership with UKTI will be hosting a series of International Lunches with a specific market focus to give you an overview of the opportunities available and to address any key issues in the market. The first of these lunches will take place at the Crowne Plaza on 20th June and will focus on the Middle East, which continues to offer high potential for UK companies looking to export.

Market Information
________________________________________

UK exports to the Near and Middle East accounted GBP11.5bn of visible exports in 2010 and trade in services surpassing this. With Saudi Arabia envisaging an expenditure of $385bn on infrastructure projects and Qatar looking to spend USD60bn on transport links, logistics facilities and hospitality in the run up to hosting the 2022 World Cup, there is no doubt that there is a wealth of opportunity available to UK companies in the area.

Inspiring French speaker : Mickaël AGUILAR – 5 Key of SUCCESS !

by
The method Aguilar, believe in your success!



“It’s up to you to choose to succeed. Success, it is organise, is provided anddecide! “It is this strong affirmation that begins Mickaël Aguilar. Principle is based on five key rules.

1. Success depends on a clear vision
Only 4% of individuals have a clear vision of their goal. Yet 100% of those who succeeded them had this vision from the outset.

2. Silence your inner saboteur
Fear of failure, when we will say, of course (I’m too young, I’m too old, I’m not an expert on …) may prevent you from getting started. Do you know that the greatest entrepreneurial success often started by a failure? 
Example:

“I’m too young” : Bill Gates,  Mark Zuckerberg …

“I’m Too old” : Ray Kroc  bought the exclusive rights to the McDonald’s name, at 58 years old

“I’m not an expert on… : Richard Branson 

3. Play on your strengths
In France, it is natural to always see what‘s wrong … But “these are the qualities that underpin the performance, not the absence of defects” insists the speaker. Knowignore your weaknesses and focus on strengths that differentiate you fromcompetition so.

4. Be a believer, not practising
Those who are truly convinced of the quality of their products or services, those who genuinely feel that their customer service to those who are most successful sales.

5. Be optimistic
Optimists sell more, it’s proven! Above all, it is the quality which guarantees all others concluded the expert.


Sorry It’s in French but you might just listen how he speak even you don’t understand he have this passion about it, it’s amazing ! how his voice go high and after he calm down when he say different thinks ! So his audience pays more attention by the sound of his voice ! 
good trick to use 😉

I have been in this conference in 2010 and I still remember him, he is a amazing speaker !
