« As Sales Network Training Manager at Tupperware France, I was given the opportunity to enjoy the professionalism, creativity and reactivity of SHAKE THE SCENE.
As a Trainer, Marianne Soumoy is involved in training our trainers in our Tupperware Management School, aimed at the elite of our sales staff, where she teaches public speaking techniques as well as methods to capture the attention of one’s audience. The feedback on those training sessions is unanimously outstanding and the observable and beneficial change in trainees is striking.
As a Scriptwriter and Director, we entrusted Marianne with the largest training budget of 2015 to create, write and stage Sitcoms (short features) intended to trigger reactions among our sales staff when faced with off-the-wall and outrageous situations, to aid the progress of selling techniques and of interpersonal skills. The very tight production schedule helped us realize Marianne’s creative potential as well as her great reactivity. Our network of dealers was very pleased with the result.
Finally, as I am used to dealing with external service providers, I must admit that Marianne knows on the one hand how to become involved in a project but also with an external training team by contributing her undeniable know-how as well as a very positive state of mind that boosts the group. »

Man
« In an industrial company such as MAN, the performance of sales is a key factor in suc-cess. In this context, each year we organize an awards ceremony in the form of a ceremony/show bringing to the fore the best performers in those categories that are essential to our business in front of their peers. Naturally, the people on stage have no stage experience. That is where Marianne steps in. We faced an additional obstacle the year the executive committee took up the torch of the presentation. A very delicate deci-sion given the gathering (employees and the French sales team): not only did we need to produce an innovative show but it also had to be funny enough and yet not ridiculous…. involving individuals from the management committee who weren’t all willing to take part… Not only was Marianne able to motivate everyone but she also won the trust of the « undecided ». We still carry fond memories of our management committee performing and singing, and it still positively informs many conversations. A complete success in which Marianne played a leading role by brilliantly switching from kindness to firmness. »

« Marianne is a very efficient coach. It is obvious she knows the corporate world. She is accustomed to rubbing shoulders with executives and leaders and knows how to help us gain time. She pushed me beyond my comfort zone and I very soon discovered I had new capacities, new « functionalities » in a sense, in terms of communication and persuasion. Her pocketbook to public speaking never leaves me ! »

« A great partner !
Tupperware has been working closely with Marianne for almost 10 years. Marianne’s writing is very accurate and hits the nail on the head with our audience. Funny, striking, relevant. Marianne knows how to unleash the dormant perfumers in us, even those that are truly hidden!
We are happy to recommend the high standard of her reliable services.”

« Since 2009, Marianne has been writing sketches for us and stages those with employees from the headquarters. It is a tremendously powerful means to create a strong connection between the teams in the field and the headquarters. We also work with her on personal development sessions in the framework of an « elite » training for our managers.
Working with Marianne is very enjoyable : her goodwill, her listening skills but also her level of demand help us to perform like comedians and to enjoy it. However, as far as I am concerned, her impact stretches much further. Those stage exercises are genuine assets if one wishes to speak in public, to deliver a message and, more importantly, to build one’s confidence! Rest assured : the impact will be strong and real among your employees. »

Axys Consultants
« We decided to promote innovation within the company on the occasion of one of our internal communication events. In order to make an impact, we chose to broach the topic of innovation in an unusual and playful manner ! We were delighted to be supported by SHAKE THE SCENE while preparing the speech and the staging of an innovative idea that engaged the audience.
For the team who performed on stage, it was an innovative and creative adventure, a rewarding and memorable experience; in their words, a beautiful gift.
For the team that organized the event, Marianne’s coaching, by means of practical and adapted advice, enabled us to grab the attention of our audience and to endow our messages with greater impact.
The element of surprise was achieved for our employees, ready to set off on the road to innovation… Thank you Marianne ! »

Seb group
« Such an unforgettable memory! I had to build the confidence and gather together the global team of legal experts of the Group, some of whom hardly knew or didn’t know each other, following a long and slightly difficult reorganization. Marianne and her team took charge of us with an inspiring energy and enabled us to reveal many things that lay dormant deep within us, through a very compelling and funny dramatization of our everyday lives. We still mention it and are preparing the follow-up. »

« Marianne has demonstrated outstanding coaching skills at Capgemini, on all levels and in several environments within the group.
An ability to understand all the communication issues. Her understanding of the stage and of human relationships enables her to provide guidance and support for all kinds of people, both in terms of content and of style.
Amazing talent ! »
Cyril Garcia, Chief Executive Officer of Capgemini Invent
Capgemini group
« I had the opportunity to work with Marianne on the organisation of a major international event with high stakes, to prepare a great number of speakers for the stage over a very short lapse of time. Marianne is an expert coach in public speaking, who hands out a lot of advice, whether in terms of production or in terms of the key messages, in order to maximize the impact of the presentation. She has a great listening ability and is very acute in her approach of senior manager profiles, how-ever varied, including the most reluctant. Marianne was very receptive and very much on hand both for the organisers of the event and for the hosts who required coaching.
I for my part gave a presentation on the occasion of the event. Marianne was indispensable in the final stages of the preparation of the long-term strategic teamwork. By helping me to feel comforta-ble and natural on stage, she contributed to a large extent to the success of the presentation.
I highly recommend Marianne for your coaching needs.»
