Description
Forget the hair dryers, this salon follows the model of the original French salons in the Age of Enlightenment. Those gatherings featured thoughtful conversation, reasoned debate, and the refinement of ideas. Now through Bâton Salon, consultants from Bâton Global, selected partners, and invited guests can meet (virtually) to do the same. Listeners should expect to be challenged, inspired, and equipped with new ideas for their own organizations.Would you like to share your story on our podcast?

And that is that business problems stem from people problems.
