He is known for his broadcasts on Europe 1, RFI, France Inter, and France Info, on which he headlined key daily shows over the course of seventeen years: Tout Comprendre, Partenaire d’Entreprise, and Initiatives d’Entreprise. A noted journalist, author, and illusionist, he is an expert on non-verbal communication and covert persuasion techniques. As a trusted editorialist, he has had a ringside seat for all the major media crises of the past twenty years.
Pascal works in close partnership with leaders and innovators, both as a speaker and a DIRECCTE-accredited trainer, advising companies large and small across a wide range of industries. He also teaches communication and crisis management at the M2–MBA and MSc levels at INSEEC. His energy, authenticity, and keen sense of showmanship make him a favourite with learners of all ages and guarantee the long-lasting impact of his training programmes — for if learning is the salt of life, a little laughter never hurts, either…
