The Bending Reed: Resilience and Reconciliation, with Nadalette LaFonta

Entelechy Leadership Stories

Nadalette La Fonta, author and lecturer, has written and lectured, through books, including #leroseaupenchant, her first singular work.

Nadalette lives between Paris and La Rochelle, with her family. She is partly paraplegic since 2014 following an operating accident (http://www.fauves-editions.fr/index.asp?navig=catalogue&obj=livre&no=64). Before 2014, she held responsible positions in major international groups, and lived a very different life, despite an already keen interest in the causes and ideas that animate her today.

Her favorite themes for taking the lead:

• resilience
• listening
• self-confidence
• using the challenge as a springboard
• living one's life
• towards a feminine incarnate
• respect for diversity and difference
• invisible disability
• the link between generations,
• inclusion
• another look at our origins and roots

Her trademark: starting from a real and lived history to move towards a universal and shared vision, with total authenticity and without any make-up.
