Defy the status quo
You may wonder why “Paradox”,
That’s a great a question and you may guess by yourself reading until the end,
But we you’ll give you the answer
To give you a glimpse it’s a lot more than just a cool name
Paradox aims to make education, psychology and coaching
as attractive as watching Netflix or going to Tomorrowland
through mobile apps, e-learning, events and a strong presence on social networks.
We deliver inspiring and educational storytelling and experiences
to our audience of smart, curious, ambitious people.
We believe that many people don’t have the life they could have.
Often due to a lack of strategies or the tendency to conform to the social norm.
But first let’s talk about YOU
You strive for excellence ?
But you are also Friendly and a critical thinker ? Let’s talk.
We don’t want your “best” day to be Friday
Wake up each morning with meaning

inspiration to live their ambition and some how shape the world in doing so.

OUR VIBE The way we want to realize our vision
At Paradox, we create Awe for people
We start by pondering of what is the next crazy thing to accomplish

Our Story…
From nothing to a good beginning
(Yes because it’s just the beginning!
That’s why we may need you)
At first they laughed at us and that was hard
in a way we understand now we needed to work and improve
We did it and it payed off…
That was fun…
We challenged ourselves to book the prestigious
Theatre Espace Pierre Cardin
At Champ-Elysees Paris
2014 The huge mile stone
Pasino Aix En Provence
For us renting and filling a room that big
for 2 hours was a huge mile stone
But It was a mess…
4 people to register everyone was a struggle,
we were 45 minutes late to start the show
(We realised we wanted to grow a little bit too fast
That was challenging but we made it together
200 entrepreneurs came to grow their businesses
2015 We dreamt of renting the Eiffel Tower
It seemed Impossible, but we did it
2018 we did it again but for a 3-day
This time we nailed it !
It was smooth
This time we nailed it !
It was smooth
The TEAM VIDEO DOING HIS MAGIC 😉
Events are for us a great and important moment
We are together and build something together,
We meet our clients, and do everything to make them Smile
We challenge ourselves, and finish exhausted but we like that!
Maybe because we celebrate together
with a good Pizza at the end
Vegetarian or fruit juices for some 😉
Others prefers champagne 😉
Meanwhile we realised…
We were fedup of all the non-sense theories that discredit our industry
(Not grounded, fantasies, get rich quick, 0 effort theories…)
That is why…
We wanted to learn from the best
and share their strategies

Marc Simoncini
Founder of Meetic
We are so thankful for the time they all have given us
we learned so much…
but we faced a problem
in the process of sharing what we learned
Because we were accepting a wrong and too common assumption
The more knowledge you share the better
The more complex and abstract it is the prouder you feel
But the only metric we should care about is
how much people change
It leaded us to study what research says about pedagogy
and discovered that our brain is wired to learn only through
practice, group work, and stories
From that day we became obsessed to make it part of our DNA
And we didn’t expect what would happened in doing so
our Ted Talk became the most viewed French Ted Talk in the world
With more than 2,500,000 views
2,500,000 views
But you know what?
Numbers are not our most important accomplishments
As you know now what matters the most for us
is about how people changed their lives
Our Dreams were realised but…
Deeply we knew there were something greater to do
It was time to explore something new
We sat and discussed (not just once but for 1 year)
We ask ourselves if the dream was about doing just the same but bigger…
But it was not…
We decided to create new brands

a culture of performance and ambition is not for everyone

If so we prefer to save their time and the trouble of applying.

live the Paradox Nation culture
So finally Why Paradox ?
Paradox :
Para (Greek) : distinct from
Dox (Latin) : Opinion
Para dox : contrary to the accepted opinion
We believe mastery lies in paradox, in having the courage to challenge the statuquo and finding your own way
We believe that doing what everybody agree on lead to mediocrity
Paradoxically doing the counter-intuitive things is often strategic
We challenge the status quo of the usual personal development industry messages of Wouh Wouh and Happy World, and not much grounded.
We believe that Excellence become only possible in the mastery of the opposites
Ambition and Gratitude
Perseverance and Letting go
Challenge and support
Optimism and critical thinking…
We inspire people to take care of themselves, dare to challenge the statuquo and pursue what they are truly inspired by and not what seem a great life.
We give the tools and everything people need to BE themselves and appreciate their past, their parents and their life.
We don’t give fantasies to our community but what truly change their life and they love us for that.
Paradox Nation is a lot more than a brand, it’s a movement
We are the people…who thrive for mastery and excellence
We are the people…who dare to pursue their ambition and appreciate their life along the way
We are the people…who aspire to be proud of themselves, to leave a mark and improve the world
We are Paradox Nation
