Laurent Boghossian, Comedian, Keynote Speaker and Leadership Expert, shares his vision of modern management
Managing, leading, influencing, bringing people together, creating meaning: leadership is not simply about knowing the right methods. It is about knowing how to embody them.
Laurent Boghossian’s “Strength & Leadership” workshops offer a unique approach to management and leadership, combining management expertise, coaching, communication and performance techniques drawn from the world of theatre.
Designed for executives, managers, senior leaders and management teams, these workshops provide a practical opportunity to work on leadership presence, communication, personal impact and, above all, the ability to create meaningful impact on others.
The “Strength & Leadership” Programme by Laurent Boghossian
Laurent Boghossian created the Strength & LEADERSHIP programme for executives and leaders who have come to realise that technical and managerial skills alone are no longer enough to generate genuine employee engagement.
They are committed, courageous and highly competent professionals who increasingly find themselves facing a wall of frustration, with the feeling that they have less and less influence and impact.
Laurent went back to the three fundamental pillars of human connection: Presence, Connection and Embodiment.
Without these three capabilities, even the best training in conflict management or delegation will have limited impact when it comes to developing authentic leadership.
Today, these three capabilities have often been reduced to their bare minimum. This is precisely where the Strength & Leadership workshops focus their efforts.
This lies at the heart of Laurent Boghossian’s vision: when a manager is able to genuinely connect with their teams, demonstrate presence and embody what they communicate, they no longer need to rely solely on conventional management techniques.
Through this programme, Laurent helps participants reconnect with the Strength to take action and develop the Leadership needed to inspire genuine engagement within their teams.

Management Expertise in the Service of Leadership
As a management and leadership expert, Laurent Boghossian addresses managerial challenges with a practical understanding of the realities of the corporate world.
As an author specialising in management, he also brings a structured perspective on the mechanisms that enable leaders to manage, communicate, motivate, influence and lead change more effectively.
But expertise is not simply about transmitting concepts. It is also about helping participants integrate new behaviours and reflexes into their day-to-day leadership practice.
For this reason, Laurent’s workshops are built around immediate practice and experimentation, rather than long hours of theory.
Performance Expertise in the Service of Impact
As a performer and stage expert, Laurent Boghossian brings tools from the world of performance into the corporate environment—tools that are rarely used in traditional management training.
The stage forces us to immediately understand what makes a message work—or fail.
Voice. Eye contact. Posture. Pace. Silence. Energy. Intention. Presence. Connection. Interaction.
All these elements play a decisive role in how a manager is perceived and in their ability to communicate with impact.
This dimension of personal and relational impact is at the heart of the workshops. A significant part of the experience takes place in a theatre environment, giving participants the opportunity to explore leadership in a physical, immersive and highly experiential way.
Management is not simply an intellectual activity. It is also a physical and emotional experience—one that can be both deeply rewarding and demanding.
Working in a theatre setting creates an environment where participants can explore, experiment, take risks and experience leadership physically, allowing them to fully engage with the learning process.

Coaching to Unlock Management Potential
As an expert in coaching and professional development, Laurent Boghossian sees leadership development as a deeply individual process.
The goal is not to fit every manager into the same leadership model.
Instead, it is about identifying their strengths, behavioural patterns, comfort zones and areas of challenge, as well as the levers that can help them develop their own authentic leadership style.
The workshops therefore prioritise experimentation, real-life scenarios and reflection, without imposing a rigid model or management dogma—because every individual is different.
Management, Leadership & Relational Intelligence
Leadership is rarely measured solely by the quality of a decision.
It is also measured by the ability to bring people with you.
Workshops may therefore explore topics such as:
- Leadership and managerial presence
- Managerial communication
- Public speaking and executive presence
- Personal impact and influence
- Relational intelligence
- Confidence and assertiveness
- Non-verbal communication
- Emotional management
- Feedback and difficult conversations
- Leading change
- Team cohesion
- Authentic leadership
Each topic can be tailored to the organisation’s context, the participants’ level of experience and the specific challenges facing the team.
Humour as a Management Tool
Humour plays a distinctive role in this approach.
Laurent is a comedian—but managing a team does not mean playing the fool all day.
As an expert in the use of humour in management, Laurent Boghossian uses laughter not simply as entertainment, but as a powerful tool for gaining perspective.
Because humour is, above all, about taking a step back. It creates the distance needed for a manager to be able to laugh at themselves and avoid taking themselves too seriously.
Some professional situations become easier to understand when we are willing to look at them from a different perspective.
Humour can help defuse tension, challenge assumptions, build connections, trigger awareness and open up dialogue.
It therefore becomes a genuine tool for leadership and communication.
This is the experience participants regularly discover through the Strength & LEADERSHIP workshops.

Workshops Designed for Executives and Leaders
These workshops are particularly suited to organisations looking to develop the capabilities of their managers, executives, senior leaders and future leaders.
They can be integrated into:
- Leadership development programmes

- Business transformation programmes

The format can be tailored as a participative workshop, a short keynote-style intervention, an in-depth working session or a more comprehensive development programme delivered over several months.
An Approach at the Intersection of Several Worlds
The distinctive strength of Laurent Boghossian’s workshops lies in the combination of management rigour, coaching depth, the power of communication and the impact of performance.
This approach offers a different perspective on leadership.
Not simply as a set of skills to acquire.
But as the ability to embody a leadership presence, build meaningful relationships, transmit energy and inspire others to want to follow you.
Perhaps this is where leadership truly begins.
