The dialogue-driven session aimed to bridge the gap between academic qualifications and the interpersonal and emotional competencies essential for career success.

The workshop kicked off with a compelling keynote by mental wellness expert and executive coach Jocelyne Chidiac, who shared insights drawn from over 30 years of experience. Chidiac stressed the importance of nervous system awareness as a foundation for professional presence, describing it as “your real résumé.”

She highlighted key areas such as self-confidence, stress regulation, and the power of micro-practices in building real connections in the workplace.
