Master Class Paris “How to (better) present yourself to the world”

IE University is delighted to invite you to a special conference in Paris featuring Professor Javier Agüera, an inventor and social entrepreneur with a deep passion for humane technology design.

Join us for an engaging discussion on “How to (better) present yourself to the world”, where Professor Agüera will explore how self-perception is formed, how we can actively shape the way others perceive us, and how these insights translate from real-life conversations to our online presence, emails, and social media interactions.
