30 years of research
Valérie Gauthier first used the term “Savoir-Relier” in the title of an article published by Economica in 1994. Twenty years later her book describing the method, Leading with Sense, was published by Stanford University Press.
The method has been practiced by individuals and companies since 2004. Over 100,000 people have practiced Savoir-Relier to discover their true potential, self-confidence, and leadership based on their own style.

The experience, a 4-step process
Develop the 3Gs
The Savoir-Relier Experience allows participants to develop the 3Gs in their relationships. Those 3 characteristics are those of a leader with a strong relational ability.
They lead to a more responsible, intuitive, and human approach to business, which will result in increased balance and productivity.
