Bénédicte Delvolvé : Les ateliers illuminescence
Rayonner au lieu de briller, voilà la ligne de conduite des Ateliers Illuminessence. Les vêtements sont une une véritable porte d'entrée vers la connaissance de soi. Il ne s’agit pas de se « composer » un personnage mais bien au contraire d’ajuster l’extérieur à ce que nous sommes profondément. Nous avons été créés avec une beauté unique et c’est honorer ceux qui nous entourent et nous-mêmes de nous vêtir en nous respectant le plus possible. https://www.benedictedelvolve.com/Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Zélie - Le Podcast // Femmes inspirées
Épisode 21. Bénédicte Delvolvé : "Chaque personne est belle"
Qui suis-je ? En quoi suis-je unique ? Quelle présence puis-je apporter au monde ? De ces questions fondamentales, notre corps parle et apporte des réponses : par la lumière dont notre peau rayonne, par l’architecture de notre corps et par les matières de vêtements qui nous accompagnent le mieux. Est-ce que je rayonne de manière solaire ou lunaire ? Est-ce que j’apporte ma présence pétillante, chaleureuse, rêveuse ou royale ? Tels sont les questionnements évoqués dans ce podcast animé par Solange Pinilla, rédactrice en chef de Zélie (www.magazine-zelie.com). Bénédicte Delvolv...

Steve Winter discusses how to handle live conferences @ CES 2022
The last two years have created a lot of new scenarios for the world. Particularly, the business world has had to adapt to a lot of adjusted scenarios. Much work has begun to be from home, rather than in offices. This forced IT to change the way they think of their corporate networks to allow for greater variability, while also protecting data. But, the biggest part of industries to be affected by the altered way of thinking has been events, like CES. Our good friend Steve Winter from Brotman-Winter-Fried discusses some of the changes and how to deal with...

Homey: Control all of your devices from anywhere with Flow @ CES 2022

Unless you go out of your way, every item you add to your home uses a different app and runs on a different platform. You might get lucky and have access to them through a service like Alexa or Google Assistant, but that’s not guaranteed. Luckily, Homey is here to help literally bridge that gap. What is Homey?
