Eight years ago, when I was referring to the “Disruption Economy”, most of the audience hadn’t heard about it, some were sceptical and the rest was listening with polite interest. In September 2016, when speaking in São-Paulo to an audience of 500 CEO’s, I asked if...

Back in 1998, French football coach, Aimé Jacquet, explained that the worse moment of his career consisted in explaining to Eric Cantona who had just been nominated player of the year in England (I hope you seize the historical meaning here: English people elected a...

I am still puzzled as to why TED proposed me to watch the following intervention of a Belgian born, New-York based psychotherapist, Esther Perel… The title of her intervention sounded provocative: “Rethinking infidelity!” I had a few minutes to spare and chose to...

The title of this new post may have you thinking of this clip which has been around for a while, but it is totally UNRELATED! But just for the fun... Now, more seriously, the tale relates to two organizations and how their leaders used the elevator in a totally...

I know I have shown Leonhard Bernstein’s clip twice before on this blog but I would like you to put yourself at the place of a highly gifted and professional musician in an Opera or even better a symphonic orchestra led by him or Ricardo Muti, another glorious and...

I consider Nick van Heck as an exceptional human being: in him, one may find both an unorthodox strategist and an unusual coach. He uses and lives Logos (rationale), Ethos (Value Building Behaviours) and Pathos (his emotional side) with a rare balance. He runs the elp...

The Enablers Network considers “Feedback” as one of its core values. If you see us work, you will frequently see us gather after one of us was “on stage”, or skip the after dinner discussions as we provide feedback to the speakers and review our day. Everyone knows...

Last week, I saw my home team, HC Villars, lose its game 8-1. They couldn’t have found a better way to celebrate the fact I had just renewed my membership, as they provided me with a reflection for today’s blogpost. Villars is one of the 8 co-founders of the Swiss Ice...
