Nicolas Martignole
Nicolas is a passionate technologist and an explorer of new ways and usages of technology. I like his no-nonsense way of approaching topics and definitely enjoyed learning and working with him at a scrum training.
sandrine Plasseraud
Great new marketing evangelist in the UK.
Hans Rosling
Professor of International Health, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden. I "discovered" him at a conference in Paris and found his quest for a fact-based understanding and analysis of the world most appealing.
Sylvain Zimmer
A young talented wiz kid who has been on a couple of business quests in the past five years... and he's in his early twenties!
Laurent Kratz
A serial entrepreneur currently very focused on the music industry.
Emmanuel Vivier
One of the top evangelists of new marketing methods in Europe: buzz, wom, viral & more.
Pascal Leurquin
Chef d'entreprise belge de 44 ans, marié, 3 enfants.

At times in Belgium, where I live, I am amazed to see a very strange phenomenon that I have never observed anywhere else. At least not with such intensity. It is this strange combination of buildings or trees in the foreground that look dark at the very time the sky behind them seems full of light. Seeing this I can understand why Magritte was so inspired. This picture was taken on July 16th 2005, around 11:00 AM in the park of the 'Chateau de La Hulpe'. I just wanted to share a beautiful moment captured in this picture. Beautiful images, paintings and music speak the language of peace and quiet to our souls. A peaceful and quiet soul is a must for those of us who want to strive for excellence (not perfection, and yes it is very different) without paying the ridiculous price of stress and poor health.
