A BRIEF WORD OF INTRODUCTION

My strongest desire is to advance the common good and to make the world a better place, every day, everywhere, by :


Advising and influencing CEO's and business leaders in my job as a consultant at KPMG ; Leading people into their most inspiring journey ever ; Teaching and helping younger generations - those who will shape the world of tomorrow ; Counseling and supporting selected political and religious leaders ; Organizing thought-provoking inspirational events like the Essentials ; Connecting people and ideas all the time ; Trying to learn and to write on a regular basis ; Transforming "think tanks" into "action tanks" ; Being a radical optimist ; Most importantly, making my wife Cécile and our 4 children as happy as possible ; Serving God and people ; Investing wisely the 86.400 seconds we get every day to make our world a better place ... And keeping up smiling, no matter what !

L'ART ET LA PLUME - THE CORPORATION OF TOMORROW



I will be participating to the 2nd edition of "L'ART et la PLUME" on Sunday 14 April, to facilitate and animate a round-table of top executives, coaches, consultants and authors...

The topic of my 3-hour intervention is challenging and ambitious : "Please, draw for me the environment, the economy, and the corporation of tomorrow" !

I truly hope that many leaders and managers of Paris and surroundings will be able to show up and attend.

The panel is just fabulous, with my friend Emmanuel Faber, Vice-President of Danone as well as Hugues Franc, Founder of Réseau Entreprendre, and other inspiring speakers.

The purpose is well aligned with my intimate conviction that the role of business is to make the world a better place.

We will touch upon, in a thought-provoking way, the issues of corporate social responsibility, diversity, sustainability, common good, employee first, ... in a comprehensive, inspiring and challenging discussion.

My objective at this roundtable is to stimulate optimism, in a period where the corporate world, the economy and the overall ecosystem seem all pessimistic, depressed, which leads us to the self fulfilling prophecy of FAILURE !

So, on Sunday, let's aim for radical optimism, radical realism, and radical enthusiasm !

More content will follow after the event, I hope with videos and podcasts...
