Mon Happy Work à moi : Céline Bracq - Directrice Générale Odoxa

·26 min·2 clips

Céline Bracq, co-founder of polling institute Odoxa, reveals how she transitioned from TV journalism to analyzing French public opinion.

The episode features an interview with Céline Bracq, co-founder and general director of Odoxa, a French polling institute. Host Gaël Chatelain-Berry introduces Céline as a former journalist with a background at Canal and BFM, now a key figure in political analysis. Céline describes her career philosophy, seeking daily happiness through avoiding boredom and connecting with others. She recounts leaving journalism at age 35 due to repetitive work and managerial dissatisfaction, despite the ego boost of being on air. A chance meeting at a wedding led her to BVA, where she learned polling despite lacking experience, eventually co-founding Odoxa. The discussion shifts to imposter syndrome, with Céline explaining her comic book co-written with Eric Giacometti and Fanny Briand. She notes that while she observed imposter syndrome affecting women's careers, she personally compensates with enthusiasm and risk-taking. Céline emphasizes that feeling like an impostor can be positive if not paralyzing, contrasting it with the Dunning-Kruger effect. She reveals that a poll shows 83% of French people experience imposter syndrome, framing it as a common experience. The host promotes the comic book and an online test, ending with thanks and links to resources.
