4. Paris Retreat - Feedback
Satisfaction level : 84,23 % (above average 83,78 %)
« Must really compliment Dominique and Olivier for adding so much value to the Retreat looking at compliance from an executive and strategic angle. Great material shared ! Would like to see more sharing of material that you can use in your own organization – this should be possible considering this is “members-only” conference. »
« Very interesting perspectives from a variety of high impact speakers. »
« Fabulous presentations, impacting communicators, nice people -> encouraged a lively networking ! »
« Good networking opportunities. Always inspiring, sometimes from unexpected directions ! »

6. The MBC Motto: “Trust. Share. Act.”
Trust: the first objective of the Mont-Blanc Circle is to create an environment of trust and respect where the Members can speak openly. This is why we meet up every 6 months at the premises of a member, why membership is only available  after a personal recommendation from an existing member, why the members all maintain strict confidentiality, why new members have to be vetted by the Steering Committee, and why no sponsors are involved.
Share: the second objective of the Mont-Blanc Circle, once this environment of trust has been established, is to exchange experiences amongst peers through open dialogue and debate. In order to encourage this exchange, we always have a round table setting in the room and provide ample opportunity for all participants to contribute to the debate. The presentations are hands-on, practical, and relate to real-life experiences. There are no ex-cathedra presentations.
Act: the third objective of the Mont-Blanc Circle is to help the members to take concrete action when they are back in the office. This can even relate to topics or files not covered
during a Retreat, the idea being that the members have a network and a
sounding board that they can turn to in the event they are confronted with new
or complex situations.
