Les Sabliers

Meet Our Speakers

There are evenings when everything stops.
When an entire room listens, breathes, and vibrates to the same rhythm.

It’s no longer an event. It’s an encounter.

At Les Sabliers, we invite men and women who have lived extraordinary lives, sometimes in the spotlight, often in the shadows.
RAID officers, explorers, athletes, researchers, artists, …
They all share one thing in common: they speak truthfully.

They share what they learned when everything seemed to be falling apart. These moments are impactful.
They remind us why we do what we do.
They foster a conviction: leadership is, above all, a human endeavor.
Each speaker marks a milestone, an emotion, a connection.

And when the evening ends, no one leaves quite the same.

listen. talk. share

A unique opportunity to explore new perspectives and learn from leaders across various sectors: Retail, Banking, Insurance, Tourism, Services, Hospitality, and much more.

Join us and let the time of an hourglass transform your professional relationships.

To develop a powerful network, a golden rule:

listen, connect, and share.

During our exclusive dinners, organized every two months, we only reveal the speaker’s name, and you will discover the identity of the guests at the time of the event.

COLLECTIVE PERFORMANCE IN UNCERTAINTY

Some encounters leave a lasting impression… and the one with Stéphane Kato Charlot is one of them. Kato is an elite individual: Ultra-sensitive interventions. Hostage releases. High-level counter-terrorism. And yet, he made a confession to us: even the best can make mistakes. Even with meticulous preparation. Even with 100% confidence in your team. The flaw doesn’t come from technique but from the human element. From what is left unsaid, what we don’t dare to question, a decision made too quickly or too late. Being strong isn’t about never doubting. It’s daring to question what you are loyal to. The mission, the group, the hierarchy. And just before concluding, Kato offered us a Japanese word: きずな — Kizuna, the bond between people. The one we forge, nurture, and which makes everything else possible. Thank you, Kato, for this powerful dose of humility. 🙏

FROM IMPOSSIBLE TO POSSIBLE

Les Sabliers had the immense privilege of welcoming Jean-Pierre Papin. With overwhelming sincerity, Jean-Pierre opened his heart to us. He shared the defining moments of his exceptional journey, shaped by challenges, self-reflection, but above all by an extraordinary inner strength. His resilience, his unwavering love for his family, and his deep intuition were the pillars of this extraordinary path. He also moved us with his commitment through his association 9 de Cœur, which helps children with brain injuries – a personal and hopeful cause. 🙏 Thank you, Jean-Pierre Papin, for this moment of truth, emotion, and inspiration.

From One Cage to Another

Gregory Bouchelaghem, alias Greg MMA, reveals himself with rare authenticity.
