Persuading without coercing
Jacques H. Paget’s approach to negotiation rests on a fundamental distinction: persuading is not manipulating.
In his talks, he demonstrates the power of listening, how to build or counter an argument, how to use silence and, above all, how to get what you want by acting while controlling only yourself, never the other person, and how to reach your goal without coercing the people you are dealing with.
His teaching is aimed particularly at executives, salespeople, managers, lawyers and negotiators facing high-stakes situations.
A spectacular and immediately practical experience
In his talks and the seminar workshops he leads, every demonstration becomes a lesson. Managers experience at first hand how psychology applied to oneself produces beneficial effects on others.
Jacques H. Paget combines illusionism, humour, experience and operational methods. His talks do not merely set out principles: they enable everyone to put them into practice effectively as soon as the session is over.
Mental strength, presence and fascination
Persuading others also means knowing how to master your own reactions.
Having also advised top-level athletes on their mental preparation, Jacques H. Paget explains in his talks the mechanisms for developing exceptional mental strength, powerful concentration and unshakeable self-confidence. He shows how to keep a clear head under pressure, strengthen your presence and make a message more memorable.
La Magie de la vie: using invisible forces to foster success
In his new book La Magie de la vie, published by Plon in 2026, Jacques H. Paget takes his research further, exploring how to make easy and profitable use of the non-rational factors in our lives in order to achieve our goals with less effort.
He explains how the non-rational elements that influence our paths and destinies can be harnessed to achieve a concrete goal. His approach invites us to stop seeing opportunity as a mere stroke of luck and to see it instead as the combination of mental preparation, psychological attitude and opportunity management.
