Now that the controversies surrounding the opening ceremony of the Olympics are beginning to subside, I must confess... The theme of lost cities, whether through gradual decline or sudden destruction, has always held a profound fascination for me. Whether it be the imaginary cities like Ulthar in Lovecraft's work, Troy in Homer's epic, or real historical cities such as Pompeii or Babylon, the wondrous and the sublime, perpetually destroyed or lost through ages and myths, cannot leave one indifferent. Indeed, it is not merely palaces and temples that vanish, nor frescoes or sculptures, but also customs, traditions, and worldviews. How well I understand those men of the 18th century who, during their Grand Tour across Europe, perceived something eternal and precious in the past and devoted themselves to a true cult of beauty. Was not this ceremony, in a way, an echo of those submerged cities? Drawing on the incredible heritage of Paris, through a play of contrasts befitting our times, this ceremony was, for those who could see, a perspective on the extraordinary city of Paris and the human genius of bygone eras. #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics #JO2024 #JOparis #OlympicGames #OpeningCeremony #OlympicOpening #FrenchHeritage #ParisHeritage #FrenchCulture #SportAndCulture #ViveLaFrance #GrandTour #Pompeii

As the world eagerly anticipates the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, the impact on global mobility is undeniable. From international travel to logistical operations, the Olympics bring both challenges and opportunities. To address potential delays and traffic congestion, Paris is implementing measures like reserved lanes for logistics, comprehensive traffic management plans, and heightened security measures. Proactive planning is key to ensuring a smooth and seamless experience during this international event. #Olympics2024 #GlobalMobility #LogisticOperations #ParisOlympics

✨ What a night at the #paris2024 closing ceremonies! I tuned in from Slovenia House, all decked out in orange for the Dutch House event... only to find it closed! 😱 Lesson learned: remember to check the schedule! But honestly, what a night it turned out to be. The closing ceremony was a spectacular reminder of the power of unity and positivity. And a good Hollywood ending of course! 😍 My heart soared as IOC President Thomas Bach shared a poignant message: "Thank you for making us believe in a better world for everyone. The Olympic Games might not create peace, but they can cultivate a culture of peace that inspires us all." 🌍💖 Isn’t that what it’s all about? We’re not just here to cheer for the gold medals—we’re here to celebrate every person and story behind those victories! Every effort counts, and together we can choose a path of support, engagement, and positivity in our daily lives. That is my vision for how to show up in our daily lives - not to dwell on the mishaps, the errors, or the blame-shame machine that is so easy to get stuck in (hello, drama triangle - a key EQ tool that everyone I work with knows how to avoid once and for all!) Thank you, Paris, for inspiring us all! I leave this week feeling empowered, hopeful, and excited about what we can achieve together. It’s time for each of us to step up and support our planet in this crucial moment. 🌟 Friends - this is the true essence and power of PAUSE. It's why I'm on a mission to help all leaders understand how pausing is actually an effective strategy for even more purposeful effort, results, and success. Reflect. Digest. Recoup. Take action. Repeat. ⏸️ Let’s hit the PAUSE button just for a moment, and shift focus to whatever feels more aligned for you. It is within each of us and totally possible. 👉 This is the spirit behind the #OlympicPause that I walked away with. 🙌🏼 I can’t wait for #LA28 - who's coming with me!? 🗓️✈️ #PowerOfpause #FutureTogether #OlympicSpirit #changingwork
