Understanding the Brain to Boost Energy and Cohesion

French-Style Well-Being Day in the Workplace

In the fast pace of professional life, it’s easy to ignore the body’s signals, confuse fatigue with hunger, or seek quick comfort in a coffee, a snack… or, conversely, in excessive control. Yet our eating behaviors reveal far more than meets the eye: they also reflect our relationship with stress, motivation, and emotional balance.

Led by Cathy Nagat, a neuro-behavioral coach trained in neuroscience and epigenetics, this fun and interactive day invites participants to understand how our brain—often operating in “autopilot” mode—influences our eating choices… and our behaviors at work.

Through dynamic workshops, interactive quizzes, group games, and practical exercises, your employees will learn to:

Identify the emotional triggers that influence their choices
Differentiate true hunger from emotion-driven cravings
Understand the different types of motivation and their impact on performance
Find concrete levers to regulate overinvestment and preserve their energy

Designed for French and French-speaking companies and institutions abroad, this day goes beyond simple well-being: it is an immersive experience that enhances self-awareness, develops emotional intelligence, and strengthens team cohesion—all with the elegance and pedagogy of the French approach.

About CATHY NAGAT

Neuro-behavioral weight loss coach

For nearly 15 years, Cathy Nagat has supported women with excess weight in the aesthetic field. She observed a truth often forgotten: sustainable weight loss does not begin with diet, but with reconnecting to oneself.

She then trained in neuroscience and epigenetics to become a neuro-behavioral coach specializing in weight loss, with an approach based on three pillars:

Reconnecting with bodily sensations (hunger, satiety, digestive comfort)
Managing stress and emotions
Identifying limiting beliefs and transgenerational injunctions

Her teaching approach is based on non-judgment, deep listening, and kindness. She views pleasure as a fundamental lever for transformation, serving lasting well-being.

A DAY TO REBALANCE THE HUMAN AT THE HEART OF THE COLLECTIVE

In a professional environment where pressure, mental load, and uprooting can weaken cohesion and communication, this well-being day invites French expatriate teams to experience a truly rejuvenating interlude.

It offers an opportunity to slow down, listen to the body’s signals, and understand how our eating habits and reactions to stress reflect our emotional state and influence our effectiveness at work. By exploring how the brain works, deep motivations, and emotional triggers, each participant discovers new keys to preserving their energy, strengthening their inner stability, and fostering smoother relationships within the group.

Led in French by Cathy Nagat, a neuro-behavioral coach trained in neuroscience and epigenetics, this day blends interactive workshops, games, quizzes, and sharing moments, in an approach that is both playful, scientific, and deeply human.

Designed with French sensibility, it combines rigor, simplicity, and kindness to create a space for learning and transformation. A time to better know oneself, better understand one’s ways of functioning… and, naturally, work better together.
