« The time is now, so go out and live it! »
There has been a long time since the last time that I shared something on this blog, a bit more than one year.Since then, we have jumped from one COVID-19 lockdown to another, from crisis management to chaos management, social life to Zoom meetings, and team spirit to empty buildings.After too many months of pandemic…
…disons à nos enfants qu’ils arrivent sur terre quasiment au début d’une histoire et non pas à sa fin désenchantée…
Ariane Mnouchkine, 82 ans « Il faut fuir l’incrédulité ricanante, enflée de sa propre importance, fuir les triomphants prophètes de l’échec inévitable, fuir les pleureurs et vestales d’un passé avorté à jamais et barrant tout futur.Et surtout, surtout, disons à nos enfants qu’ils arrivent sur terre quasiment au début d’une histoire et non pas à sa…
365 days of pandemic, distanciation, teleworking and lockdown: and now?
After 365 days of fear, lockdown and loss of contact with our colleagues, our friends and our relatives, what are the lessons learned? The first idea that comes to my mind is that time is flying; I realised that this started one year ago. It has been both a long moment of paralysis in which…

A Remote Working Survival Guide
Thanks to a suggestion from Marie-Christine, I discovered a very interesting survival guide written by Julian Stodd for those who dare to explore « the wilderness of remote work ». The book is presenting in a very original and imaginative mode some general principles about remote working that encompass the situation created by the COVID-19 epidemic and…
Qi Gong: Eight pieces of brocade
I have discovered QI Gong and Tai Chi Chuan some 15 years ago in Lisbon, thanks to a small association called Academia de Artes Orientais. In the beginning of every lesson of Tai Chi, there was first a session of Qi Gong, and one of the key features was the practice of the « Eight pieces…
