Pfuu, “already” 33 years old. I know, I look older;-) This picture left with my son is already 18 months old… We have celebrated for 2 weeks the 3rd birthday of my son, today my 33rd anniversary.

When I look back, I have a very good feeling because I was challenged a lot as a person, I could do a bunch of errors (and some people let me do them ;-) and experience, I could learn so much. A *very* enriching year!

The last 12 months were for me very “dense”, and on different levels:

• professionally with all the “ordinary” and “extra-ordinary” developments of my business unit
• privately with my son (this phase is *so* interesting, what for a development between 2 and 3!), with my wife (she opened very succesfully her own surgery), with the death of my grandfather (I miss him a lot…)
• humanely with all the great people I met the last time, with all my long-time friends, with all my so funny and smart colleagues.

All in all, I am very lucky.

I hope I could also give this “luck” back to other people, by helping them a little bit to develop themselves too, by letting them do their own experience and errors too, by organizing a motivating (and stressful, I admit) environment for all, by pushing as far as I can our values (responsability, commitment, trust, innovation, fun, excellence and professionalism, being open-minded) and by giving some sense to our work. I didn’t manage it all the time but I keep trying :-)

Thank you *all* very kindly for having a look at my weblog :-) That was also an important part of my last 12-months experience!
