Keynotes

Three keynotes, one thread: poker as a laboratory for decision-making.

Nicolas Levi works as a professional keynote speaker across three territories: artificial intelligence and decision-making, leadership and change management, engagement and gamification. Poker is the shared laboratory.

Leadership, motivation and change management

At the poker table, you read your opponents to win. In management, you read your teams to bring them on board. It is the same skill.

Frequently asked questions.

Who are these keynotes for?

Two audiences, often in the same room. Executives who must decide quickly on incomplete information, and managers who then have to carry teams along. On the organiser side, mostly conventions, executive seminars, transformation events and partner days. A room of fifteen works, a room of a thousand works too, the format changes.

What formats do you offer?

From a thirty-minute keynote to a full ninety-minute conference, plus workshops. The format follows the moment in your programme: a short keynote opens a convention well, a longer format suits an executive seminar where you want the room to work.

What budget should we plan for?

A talk starts at 4,500 euros and varies with length, format, location and how much tailoring is involved. Tell me your constraints and I will tell you straight away whether it works.

Do you speak in English?

Yes, all three keynotes exist in French and English. The live experiments with the audience work in both languages.

Is the content adapted to our industry?

Always. A thirty-minute call beforehand covers your context, your current challenges and the vocabulary your teams use. Examples and demonstrations are then chosen to speak to your room, while the structure stays the same.

What do you need on site?

A headset or lapel microphone, a projector, and room to move in front of the audience. The interactive experiments need nothing special from you. In large rooms, a video screen helps people at the back.

How far in advance should we book?

Two to three months is comfortable, but dates open up at a few weeks notice fairly often. Write to me even for a close date, the answer comes quickly.

Do you travel outside Paris and abroad?

Yes. Travel and accommodation are then added to the fee and stated in the proposal, with no surprises.
