Join me for Le Trente x Corde Coffee Salon Speaker Series for connectivity and inspiration


Hi Reader,

I hope you had a good start of the New Year.

I’m excited to tell you about a new event series, inspired by the intimate salon gatherings that I have been hosting for the past year and a half through Le Trente.


A few months ago, one of my salon participants brought a guest. Named Carlina, she is the owner of a small coffee chain and roastery in Geneva called Corde Coffee. She loved the concept, I loved her energy, and we went for a coffee a few weeks later to see if we could cook up a collaboration.


And ta dah! Here we are.


The Le Trente x Corde Coffee Salon Speaker Series is a unique, in-person gathering designed to foster meaningful conversations and connections.

Inspired by my global experiences and the desire to create a space for dialogue that goes beyond surface-level interactions, this series brings together people from diverse backgrounds to share their stories and expertise.

At its heart, the series is like an in-person podcast—an intimate, curated experience where guests and speakers engage deeply, exploring ideas that inspire, challenge, and connect us. With thoughtfully prepared food and drink (everything feels more natural when we can exchange over good food), we create a welcoming, warm environment that encourages empathy and openness.

Our goal? To break down barriers, cultivate a sense of belonging and spark conversations that leave a lasting impact. Whether you’re a curious participant or a featured speaker, the Salon Speaker Series offers an enriching experience for those seeking connection, inspiration and insight.

A quick reminder! What is Le Trente?

Le Trente is a global community where open-minded people and purpose-driven brands connect through inspiring salons, mindful gatherings and creative workshops.

This is not a networking club

Inspired by the creative and social energy of the number 30, Le Trente cultivates a vibrant in-person community through:

  • Mindful gatherings — from inspiring salons to mindfulness workshops, we create opportunities for reflection and authentic connection.
  • Creative fuel — enjoy delicious, Mediterranean-inspired vegetarian fare and seasonal tasting menus that nourish the body and soul.
  • A space to flourish — Le Trente was born in my welcoming living space, which made for the perfect setting for intimate conversations and serendipitous encounters. Today, by creating a salon series at Corde, we are simply moving from my home to hers.

For more information about the Salon Speaker Series hosted at Corde Coffee, you can visit the website or Corde Coffee’s website.

Our first guest will be none other than Carlina herself, so she can tell us how she went from marketing research, strategy and sales development leader in the CG/CPG sector to Corde Coffee, a roastery, and what the future may hold for the burgeoning brand.

Find all details here. Book fast as spaces are limited. I hope I will see you there or at a forthcoming Le Trente x Corde event.

Warmly,

PS. Le Trente 'at home' salons and workshops will shortly resume as well.
