About us
Paradoxa was born in 2004 from a desire to offer companies moments of inspiration, reflection and cohesion.
By combining our experience as illusionists and our interest in cognitive sciences, we have developed an original pedagogy based on a conviction: astonishment is the most powerful lever for discovery and learning. It is in this state of mind, anxious to focus on the lived experience of the participants, that we have designed interactive conferences combining emotion, questioning and collective reflection.
More than 2000 performances for a wide variety of companies have confirmed the relevance of the dialogue between the art of illusion, social sciences and management. These disciplines, far from contradicting each other, enrich one another to help us take an enlightening and invigorating look at our working methods and open up very operational avenues for reflection.
Reconsidering the place of emotions in the professional sphere, developing critical thinking, reminding us of the importance of interpersonal relationships , identifying the drivers of motivation and the pitfalls of decision-making ... These are all crucial issues that we are working to decipher throughout our interventions, always with rigor, humility and humor.
Thus, by placing people, with their richness and complexity, at the heart of our approach, we hope to promote the transformation of organizations, the cohesion of teams and employee commitment. And if, after sixteen years spent attending seminars and conventions, our enthusiasm continues to grow from one event to the next, it is because we know that sharing and pleasure are never mutually exclusive.

​
The most effective way to understand and integrate a concept is to live it and experience it more than to listen to the statement.
​
This is why, over the past 20 years, we have developed real expertise in experiential pedagogy adapted to your challenges and your audience, in order to capture the attention of participants and involve them through practice.
Thus the sensitive comes to the aid of the intelligible, to guarantee a better appropriation of the key messages of our interventions.
Relying on the human sciences to help organizations evolve.
​
The studies carried out in the field enlighten us on the essential contributions of social psychology to the understanding of our motivations, and to the evolution of managerial thought.
For this reason, all of our lecturers have a solid academic background in the field of human sciences.
​
The psycho-illusion© , an exclusive concept developed by Paradoxa, offers an effective testing ground to illustrate and bring these contributions to life.

Our method
Social sciences and illusion often provide appropriate and concrete answers to the questions and challenges that await us: they place the human being at the heart of the reflection.
Our in-company conferences place the human being at the center of the process.
SURPRISE TO LEARN
PARADOXA conferences and workshops offer participants a unique experience.
Our speakers project them into an offbeat and exciting universe.
The speaker, thanks to our experiential pedagogy, delivers action keys that can be easily transposed to the specific professional world of each participant.
LINKING KNOWLEDGE
PARADOXA's expertise is systematically decompartmentalized and multidisciplinary: this association allows us to build playful and intelligent interventions to mark minds, inspire and anchor messages.
DIGITAL AND HUMAN
At PARADOXA , we are convinced that the digital revolution and the acceleration it brings about must make us attentive: our collective intelligence and our capacity for empathy will be the indispensable keys to the success of our transformations. They will enable us to ensure the performance of companies while preserving the well-being of their teams.
Values
HUMILITY
We see our job as an extraordinary opportunity to work with particular expertise in very different settings. Far from pretending to be "knowledgeable", on the contrary, we believe that we have a lot to learn from each of these interactions. By inviting us to discover your trades, your challenges and your problems, you are helping us grow as much as we are helping you progress.
EMPATHY
Analyzing the thinking mechanisms that drive us is at the heart of our profession.
Under these conditions, we must always seek to understand how the people we meet are feeling. For it is in this way, by cultivating this sincere attention to others, that we will be able to design interventions that will reach and impact our audiences.
SHARING
Pedagogy only has meaning for us if it is imbued with a form of generosity. Reciprocity, solidarity and cooperation are therefore fundamental aspects of our approach. In a world where individualism seems the easiest path, we do not consider kindness to be incidental. On the contrary, we believe that it is essential to the functioning of any human organization... and inseparable from the passion that drives us.
