WELCOME BACK and BEST WISHES !



AFTER 60 DAYS ABSENCE


Dear readers,

It has been too long! 60 days basically since my last post here...

But 60 days filled with tons of exciting changes and events:
- We moved in a new house with the family, still in beautiful city of Saint-Cloud in France !
- I joined a new consulting firm as a Partner: Roland Berger Strategy Consultants
- I visited clients in Germany, UK, Singapore, UAE, Netherlands... in less than 8 weeks. 
- I was formally appointed as board member of christian Association Alpha in France, whose purpose is to help people explore the meaning of life - a totally "inspiring and connecting" mission.
- We concluded the year of INSEAD Alumni Association in November-December with 40+ events, including a successful and innovative Assemblee Generale... and more to come in January. 
- We held a formidable event in Paris, the very first INSEAD Essentials, a conference focused on "How to Make the World a Better Place", with fantastic emblematic speakers - CEOs, education and religious leaders - who are really changing the world and having great impact on our society

You can see a video replay of INSEAD Essentials on our YouTube channel, IAAFchannel, with 8 sequences starting here: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KVahBlFb7oA

But there is no excuse - despite this rather heavy schedule - to have paused publishing on this Blog... Some of you made the comment that they missed the various posts on inspirational themes: many thanks for this support and your compelling incentive to write more often and regularly. 

I wish you all the best for an excellent and inspiring new year. May 2013 be for all full of joy, happiness, hope, success and radical optimism !!!

See you very soon again on this blog, and Welcome Back...
