In an always-on world, influence comes with a hidden tax: exposure, distortion, and sometimes, destruction. From viral rumors to deepfakes, from intrusive paparazzi to weaponized social media campaigns, today any leader, creator, or entrepreneur can find their private life turned into public spectacle in a matter of hours. In this conversation, Cecilia and Richard Attias share, together on stage, how decades at the intersection of media, politics, and business have shaped their understanding of risk, reputation, and psychological resilience. They will discuss how to set boundaries, protect your family, educate your children, respond to attacks without amplifying them, and build a “circle of trust” in an era where trust is fragile. This session is a candid masterclass on how to manage privacy and protect your dignity in the age of fake news—while continuing to lead, to create, and to speak out.
