Réussir malgré tout ! | Florence Alix-Gravellier | TEDxSciences Po Lyon
Dans son talk "Réussir malgré tout !", Florence Alix-Gravellier partage un témoignage puissant et inspirant, porté par ces mots : "Je suis cette petite fille à qui on a dit : 'Tu ne seras jamais une championne'." Elle raconte comment, après l'annonce de sa malformation congénitale de la hanche, elle a refusé de se laisser enfermer dans les cases que la société voulait lui imposer. À travers son parcours, elle nous invite à repenser notre propre définition de la réussite et à envisager des trajectoires qui transcendent les normes établies.
