Charles-Louis de Maere

Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!

Dana Spano

Dana Spano

Since studying Behavioral Science at university, Dana Spano been oriented around the core purpose and passion of helping humans human better... first through 14 years in Brand Strategy and UX Design (in-house, freelance, and Studio owner), and now with her latest venture: Entreprana— a proactive mental well-being platform specifically for entrepreneurs.

Steeped in an entrepreneurial atmosphere since birth, and especially so since embarking on her own entrepreneurial journey in 2016 whilst navigating dark challenges with her own mental health— Dana has become fiercely committed to providing elegant tools for fellow founders, soloists, and small business owners that fit an entrepreneur's abnormally arduous lifestyle.

"In my experience, the greatest challenges of entrepreneurship often aren't logistical, but rather psychological. We're human. We have to learn to equalize well-being and ambition, because one without the other is incomplete. In today's entrepreneurial landscape, this equalization is a rare and bold endeavor; an essential, daily practice that can literally save our lives."

Dana aims to help everyone within earshot of her message to walk away feeling energized and empowered with the knowledge that they already have within them exactly what they need to succeed.

Cyril Clergeau

Cyril Clergeau

J’entendais durant mon enfance et mon adolescence, certain(e)s de mes camarades rêver de devenir informaticien, médecin, mécano, sportif de « haut » niveau, chanteur, plus rarement entrepreneur, manager ou dirigeant de société…

Pour ma part, je crois que j’ai toujours voulu prendre soin des autres humains – et non humains aussi – et de donner envie aux autres d’être plus heureux, de les convaincre du bonheur qu’il y a à prendre soin de sa propre vie et de nos écosystèmes pour aider à passer à l’étape d’après.

J’ai passé mes quinze dernières années à observer, capter l’énergie des groupes, faire des petits pas à leur côté pour de grands effets, travailler avec les forces de chacun plutôt que de vouloir « corriger » les défauts, recycler les « sois disant » déchets dans les groupes pour faire émerger l’innovation…

Cette liste n’est pas exhaustive, mais donne déjà un bon aperçu de ce qu’un Biomim’Agiliste, comme moi, a en tête et applique lors de la rééducation de la pensée des écosystèmes humains.

Soutenu et conforté dans mon identité ainsi que dans mes engagements profondément humanistes, il y a un an, j’ai co-fondé La Libellule Optimiste pour {ré} apprendre à {ré} humaniser les organisations pour impliquer les collaborateurs et collaboratrices dans une agilité durable qui a du sens et génère de la plénitude.

J’organise des ateliers, des formations, mais aussi, j’accompagne les organisations pour vous faire ressentir à quel point l'entraide et l'interdépendance sont innées et facteurs d'évolution si on s’inspire du vivant.

Je conclurais sur cette phrase que j’utilise souvent lors de mes interventions : la nature est le meilleur modèle de prospérité sur terre et le biomimétisme d’écosystèmes est un des remèdes pour soigner les maux de nos organisations.

Envie de vous sentir vivant ? Je vous attends pour un voyage dans l’immense encyclopédie de plus de 3,8 Milliards d'années qu'est la Nature et venir découvrir notre démarche directement inspirée de notre terre mère !

Peter Laughter

Peter Laughter

Hello there! I'm Peter Laughter, and 12 years ago, an experience transformed my understanding of leadership and set me on a path to fulfill my purpose. I realized that the best solutions come from those closest to the problem, not from the top down. This led me to embrace distributed decision-making, empowering individuals to help organizations become more agile and resilient in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

My purpose is to reveal the profound bonds that connect all humanity, making them visible and tangible in our daily lives. To thrive amid exponential change, organizations must shift from command-and-control to a network system of distributed authority. The traditional command-and-control orthodoxy is as harmful for corporate leaders as it is for employees, stifling innovation and engagement. Through my speaking and consulting, I guide organizations in building dynamic methods for fostering this new approach.

With over 25 years in the recruiting and staffing industry, I've founded three successful firms, served elite consultancies and banks, and pioneered the first SaaS platform for managing enterprise labor programs. My work has earned prestigious awards, including the Inc 500.

I'm a TEDx speaker on Radical Empathy and a three-time Moth Story Slam winner, with a story featured on The Moth Podcast. These experiences reflect my passion for storytelling and my ability to connect deeply with audiences.

When I'm not transforming the business world, you'll find me exploring trails on my bicycle, lost in a book, or sharing stories. And yes, I love a good laugh – after all, it’s in my name! Most of all, I love riding the Cyclone with my daughter Eddy.
