What Organizations Say
This is the rare session that sticks. Clear language, real stories, immediately usable tools. We’re rolling it out globally in manager onboarding.
We’ve all done business dinners—few of us made them count. Yannick gave us a practical, humane system: align the goal, set the tone, let the guest lead, and close with grace. It’s now a playbook our leaders can teach and scale.
Yannick reframed hospitality as brand in action. Our clients noticed: ‘That dinner told me everything about how you’ll manage our business—calm, prepared, and generous.’ That’s the reputation we want.
This wasn’t a talk about forks. It was leadership training disguised as hospitality. Our client-facing teams now treat every meal as a strategic moment—comfort, pace, tone, and follow-through. The change in confidence and outcomes has been immediate.
Yannick turned ‘taking clients to dinner’ into a repeatable playbook for trust and results. Our team left with tactics we used the very next day—and they worked.
