The new Heros of our Edge: who are they?
A new kind of hero has captivated millions - 32 million views on Youtube in just 13 days -that’s the result of the Kaizen documentary , sparking a massive wave of interest. It tells the story of 21-year-old French YouTuber, Inoxtag, who embarks on a year-long journey to climb Everest. He’s not an athlete, mountaineer, or adventurer by trade, but a regular young man with an extraordinary goal.
As educators, professionals, and parents, shouldn't we ask ourselves: who are the heroes of today that our children follow? Who do they look up to? Adventurers like Inoxtag represent a modern narrative of struggle, perseverance, and achievement—not with superpowers, but with grit, determination, and heart. This resonates deeply with the younger generation.
Watching this documentary, I couldn’t help but wonder: what if we shifted our perspective? What if, instead of positioning ourselves solely as "experts," we connected with people based on their interests?
The Everest journey also teaches us something profound, it was about transformation: the climb isn’t about proving something to others; it’s about proving something to yourself.
As we encourage others, we must also ask ourselves:
And now, the ultimate question:
What’s your Everest?
Have you started the climb yet, or are you still at base camp, gathering the courage to take the first step?
Everyone has an Everest. I’m on my way to my second base camp... the journey continues.

- Why not embrace what resonates with the younger generation?
- Why not frame our challenges in ways that feel like their own Everests?
- Why not use the Everest metaphor, along with real-life examples, to make our approaches more relatable and engaging?
- Why not reset our mental patterns to introduce fresh ideas and examples into our methods?
- Why not stop complaining about the existing system and start building new ones that engage and inspire the next generation?
The Everest journey also teaches us something profound, it was about transformation: the climb isn’t about proving something to others; it’s about proving something to yourself.
As we encourage others, we must also ask ourselves:
What mountain am I climbing?
Have I reached the top, or am I still on the way up?
Is the summit I'm heading toward truly my final destination?

Christmas is today
Christmas is today … judging by my chocolate advent calendar :-))
24 days to go! What's left on your countdown clock before Dec 24th? 🤔
Here's my list of "must-dos" before we hit the champagne and fireworks:
✅ Wrap up 3 certification courses (because apparently, I love learning to expand my toolbox).
✅ Snuggle under a blanket 24 times for much-needed recharges (goog thing to do as there is 3° outside).
✅ Publish 24 playful prompts for the "Bold Corner" advent calendar chatbot (because nothing says festive like a playful solution).
✅ Launch the first-ever Serious Business Game 2.0 on the Experience Economy for business and educational experts (because learning through a game is insightful and fun).
And you? What’s on your plate?
❤️ - If resisting holiday chocolates is a near-impossible mission.
👍 - If chocolates are "meh," but the Christmas chaos still has you juggling like a circus act.
Drop your countdown goals below - or just laugh at mine!

Advent Calendars Are for Kids? 🎄
What if we take this classic holiday tradition and turn it into something more… impactful? Like a business strategy self-reflection tool ?
✨ Voilà, the Bold Advent Calendar is here!
Starting December 1st, I’m sharing a daily visual prompt with one small but meaningful question at a time to reflect on your business year.
The questions will range from simple to deep, covering successes, challenges, and even those less-than-pleasant moments—because acknowledging those is just as important.
Most of the questions will focus on your business or project, but if you feel inspired to reflect on personal matters instead (especially if you don’t have a project yet), feel free to follow your own path.

What would your year look like?

Bold Advent Calendar, December 2nd
Simple but important question.
Who influenced your project or you as an entrepreneur/freelancer/project manager/educator the most in 2024?
If you feel like sharing, tell us what this person did for you and why you are grateful to.
In any case, make sure to say "thank you"!
By the way, it would be great if we all took a moment today to express our gratitude to those who have helped us this year.
Does not mean the way we can do it.
It doesn’t have to be just one person.
Sometimes, we get so caught up in the hustle that we forget how important it is to simply say “thank you.”

Bold Advent Calendar, December 3rd
It doesn’t have to be something monumental - just something that demanded your courage, clarity, and resolve.
Perhaps it was a leap of faith into the unknown. Or maybe it was a quiet yet powerful choice to let go of something that no longer served you.
Here’s an additional question: what drove you to make that decision, and how has this decision shaped your journey so far?
It’s not just about the decision itself—it’s about how it helped you grow, what it taught you, and the direction it set for your next steps.
Take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate your bravery in choosing. If you'd like, share your story—it may inspire someone else to make their next big decision.

What You Should Let Go
What in your professional year activity/project is it time to say "no/stop" to?
Is there something that’s been piling up, festering, or draining your energy, but you keep putting off addressing it?
Perhaps you’re pretending it’s not there, or finding other seemingly more important tasks to focus on.
If such a thing exists, it’s time to face it, see it clearly, and acknowledge it.
And finally, deal with it. 😊

Let's keep auditing your business year (even during week-end!).
How many "frogs" have you eaten this year? – “unpleasant routine activity/taks” that you disliked the most / found unpleasant, exhausting, boring / that slowed down your progression.
Maybe your "frog" truly can’t be avoided. Or could be tackled differently?
Are you taking this "frog" with you into 2025, or is there a way to finally get rid of it?
