conférencier, formateur boursier et spécialiste du comportement humain

Passionate about financial analysis and having worked for 10 years as an equitytrader with financial institutions, Michel Villa, speaker, is well aware of the human behavioural mistakes made by many investors. In his view, emotions too often get the better of the numbers, and cause many avoidable losses. Michel Villa’s talk will take stock of these key factors.

Vulgarisateur du marché financier, Michel Villa, conférencier, utilise son expérience de terrain pour partager ses précieux conseils avec enthousiasme et rigueur.

If you are in the finance business, you need to hear from Michel Villa.

Michel Villa’s conferences and training workshops:

  • Duration of the lectures: 45-90 minutes, adaptable.
  • Workshop: 2 to 6 hours, depending on your needs, tailor-made.

  • How to become more charismatic

    Everyone can name a charismatic person. However, when it comes to defining charisma and its components, the task becomes more daunting.

    The aim of my talk is therefore to demystify this concept, which is a formidable weapon in business development and in creating a good impression with existing customers.

    In addition to sharing practical advice, I will address the following questions in particular:

    • Is charisma innate or acquired?
    • Can you be charismatic if you’re introverted?
    • How can you use dopamine, oxytocin and serotonin to be more charismatic?

    If you’d like to offer a training course focusing on the development of soft skills, let yourself be tempted by this unique conference!

    *This 45-60 minute conference is also available as a 90-120 minute workshop.

    Decide better!

    Ex-trader, Michel Villa has developed a great expertise on human decision making and presents a new conference that concerns us all, on the art of better decision making, by becoming aware of the biased mechanisms of our brain, which too often lead us to the wrong decisions. Understand them better, and DECIDE BETTER!

    Whether you are an entrepreneur, a manager, an executive or an employee, every day you make a multitude of decisions. When it comes to making decisions, we naturally rely on our intuition, judgment, experience and lifestyle. This is how our brain works.

    While this is fine for most of our everyday decisions (e.g. what do I eat for lunch?), it can become a serious handicap in the workplace or when making important decisions.

    When it comes to making choices, especially when urgency and emotion get in the way, our brains regularly fail us. According to Michel Villa, we can do better!

    With the help of statistics and hard facts, and after making some bad decisions himself as a trader, Michel Villa, speaker, has taken a closer look at the science behind decision-making, and shares the main rules with you.

    Are you a decision maker? Michel will give you new tools to help you make the right decisions.

    Knowing and being, the keys to success in finance and in life

    For many people, the key to success in finance is knowledge. Whether it is through courses, seminars, books or blogs on how the stock market works, people believe that knowledge is the only valid prerequisite for generating long-term returns.

    Unfortunately, knowledge is necessary but not sufficient. Without a doubt, behavioural skills, i.e. the way one behaves in the face of stock market fluctuations, are also a key element in creating added value. Indeed, it is essential to be on the lookout for different behavioural biases in order to reduce our errors of judgement when making decisions.

    Of course, this principle also applies in everyday life. Regardless of your academic background, professional experience or general culture, it is essential to be aware of our self-management to achieve professional success!

  • Michel Villa offers various training courses tailored to your needs.

    Here are some of the training titles he can develop with you.
