For 10 years, Bernard Thellier was the lead negotiator for the GIGN (National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) within its major crisis unit: hostage situations, standoffs, kidnappings, and organized crime.

After all these years with this remarkable unit, and with a 100% success rate, he decided to create his company, Précognition, specializing in conflict negotiation, business negotiation, teamwork, stress management, change management, communication, and, more broadly, the human factor.

Negotiation holds no secrets for him, and that's precisely what we'll be discussing with him.

Dive into the heart of the hostage situation that nearly cost him his life and learn how to negotiate in any situation.
