Autonomy
From Observation to Action: My Role at Taste of Paris 2025
I had the opportunity to take part in Taste of Paris 2025 as a Sales Assistant for the École Ducasse Paris Studio booth. My main mission was to welcome and inform visitors while carrying out client prospecting among those interested in the school’s training programs. I also contributed to promoting the brand’s image, highlighting the school’s courses, workshops, and culinary expertise.
The events I manage take many forms, from hands-on culinary workshops followed by tastings, to team-building experiences, product launches, and fully tailor-made projects, all infused with the signature refinement and excellence of Chef Alain Ducasse.
Professional Growth
Confidence Served with Experience
This first trade show with École Ducasse allowed me to strengthen my communication and sales skills in a dynamic and demanding environment. I learned how to adapt my speech to different visitor profiles, manage spontaneous interactions while maintaining a professional approach, and observe the setup and visual presentation of a stand at a major event. This experience also gave me valuable insight into how a prestigious brand conveys its values and excellence through direct engagement with the public.
