HEC Life Project: Webinar - How to really thrive as an overachiever
Wednesday 12th February - 12pm (UK)
ONLINE
Success without fulfilment is the ultimate failure", says author, coach and speaker Tony Robbins. If this is true, most overachievers are destined to fail in the final analysis, because their drive to success is fueled by fear and insecurity, rather than love and inspiration. It takes great self-awareness and a healthy dose of courage for someone to acknowledge that their drive is one of not enough-ness. Not smart enough. Not good enough. Not competent enough. Not accomplished enough. If you are courageous enough to admit that part of what has fuelled you until today is insecurity, and if you would like to do something about it, come join this workshop and we will shift your way of being to one of inner and outer greatness!

HEC UK Wine Club: Wine Tasting with Domaine Faiveley
Wednesday 12th March - 7:30pm
IN PERSON
The HEC UK Wine Club is very honoured to welcome Matthieu Luneau, Export Director for the prestigious Domaine Faiveley.
For over seven generations, the Faiveley family has established itself as the largest classified wine producer of the Côte de Nuits. With roots dating back to 1825 (yes, the Domaine is celebrating its 200th anniversary in 2025), the superb 125 hectare Domaine produces 13 different Grands Crus and 25 Premiers Cru, including in the world renowned Gevrey-Chambertin, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Mercurey villages.
We're often stuck in our to-do lists and they can feel neverending and all consuming. Worse, they stop us from making the big changes that we so often want.
We feel "too busy" to even think about it. The to-do lists keep getting in the way.
Luckily, it's not a lot of time that we need, it's simply a different kind of "to do" list.
Who do you need TO BE to make the changes you want? Your "to be" list is so much more powerful than your "to do" list.

MAKE AN IMPACT FOR GOOD: Investing in Nature: what's the value of protecting biodiversity? Wednesday 26th February - 6:30pm at Institut Français At the recent UN Biodiversity COP 16 in Colombia, discussions on investing in nature showed some progress but highlighted the continued lack of a clear strategy for resource mobilisation. Without decisive action, achieving the Global Biodiversity Framework's 2030 goals will become increasingly difficult. In light of this, it is now essential that biodiversity investments take priority for governments and businesses that impact or depend on natural resources.
EDHEC Alumni UK and France Alumni are delighted to invite you to a thought-provoking discussion that will prove the business case for investing in nature. REGISTER HERE
