A tribute to a great human being, a business friend, a wise man, a former inspiring mentor
Jacques Crahay has left us forever, too young, and still with lots of drive and plans for Life.
He was an entrepreneur with a heart for sustainability, conscious capitalism and humanity. He and I agreed, in our many conversations, that we should do more to bring the economy and the ecology together. We took action.
He became chairman of the Walloon employers and kicked off his tenure with a not to be misunderstood speach saying that employers have the responsibility to be more conscious about their impact, their ecological footprint and how they treat people.
When the French edition of my first book (Le Livre du Noble Purpose-Réussir par la Quête de Sens) had came out, I invited him to be interviewed, on behalf of RTL, to talk about money and meaning. It was a memorable conversation.
He was an excellent Inspiring Mentor in the Young Leaders-Inspiring Mentors program.
He was a great soul who came to Wisdom Encounters in 2017 and touched all of us by his humbleness, convictions and coherence.
Although he is gone, his positive legacy will remain forever. As it always goes with great human beings who were there for the others!
RIP Jacques! Merci pour tout!
