Mentoring, one to one

Practical mentoring, straight from the road

I founded and run AI Community Days, with events on five continents, and I speak at community conferences around the world while running several businesses. In one-to-one sessions, I share what actually works: organizing events and communities, getting on international stages, and keeping several businesses moving while travelling. Sessions are ordered by companies for their people, and by professionals for their own business.

Who it's for

For people who make things happen

For companies that want to develop their people, and for founders, consultants and other professionals investing in their own business, whatever the starting point: a first meetup or an already busy international calendar.

  • Community leaders and event organizers

    You run a meetup or a user group and want to launch your first conference, or grow the event you already have.

  • Aspiring international speakers

    You have expertise to share and want to be selected for conferences abroad, then deliver with confidence.

  • Consultants and founders on the move

    You work across countries and time zones and need a setup and a rhythm that hold up on the road.

  • People running several things at once

    A job, a company, a community: you carry a lot, and you want to keep it all moving without losing your footing.

Topics

Three topics, concrete outcomes

Bring one topic per session, or mix them. Every session ends with next steps you can act on.

  1. Organizing tech and AI events and communities

    From a first meetup to a multi-city series: format, venue, speakers, sponsors, and a community that keeps coming back.

    You leave with

    • A realistic plan for your next event: format, venue, date, budget and run of show.
    • Sponsor packages and a pitch you can send this week.
    • A call for speakers and a community routine that keep people engaged between events.
  2. Becoming an international speaker

    How to get selected, prepare, and travel to speak at conferences around the world.

    You leave with

    • Session titles and abstracts reworked from your own drafts, ready to submit.
    • A shortlist of conferences that fit your topic, and a submission calendar.
    • A speaker profile and bio that organizers trust.
  3. Running several businesses, founder to founder

    Workload, remote work while travelling and stress: how I keep several companies, a community and a busy travel calendar moving, shared from one founder to another.

    You leave with

    • A clear map of what each activity needs from you, what to delegate, and criteria to say yes or no to new commitments.
    • A travel-proof setup and a weekly rhythm across time zones that protects your focused work.
    • How I plan heavy weeks and protect time off around a demanding travel schedule.

    Mentoring based on experience, not medical or psychological care. If you have symptoms of burnout, see a doctor or a psychologist.

FAQ

Good to know before you book

Can a session be rescheduled or cancelled?

Rescheduling is free up to 48 hours before the session: reply to the invitation or email me. Later than that, or if nobody attends, the session counts as used. If I have to move a session, you choose a new time free of charge. All the rules are in the terms of business.

What happens in a session?

The video-call link is in the invitation you receive after choosing a time with your private link. Share your context and your question beforehand, so we can spend the time on your situation. You leave with concrete next steps.

In which languages?

English, French or Arabic. Say which one you prefer when you request the session.

How are sessions invoiced?

Every session is invoiced, to your company or to you as a professional, and paid by bank transfer; there is no card or online payment. When you request a session, give the company name, its VAT or registration number and a billing email.

Is there a reduced rate?

Yes, on request, for non-profits and community organisations. Write to me before you order and tell me about your organisation.

Who can order these sessions?

Companies, for their people, and professionals (founders, consultants, sole traders) for their own business. Sessions are not sold to consumers. Request a session with the quote form and I reply within 48 hours. Not sure which one fits? The free 20-minute discovery call checks it.

Is mentoring on stress or workload a form of therapy?

No. Workload, remote work while travelling and stress are themes inside mentoring, discussed founder to founder, never separate sessions. Mentoring based on experience, not medical or psychological care. If you have symptoms of burnout, see a doctor or a psychologist.
