Michigan Business Beat | Roger Curtis, Youth Solutions: Developing Michigan's Future Workforce


« Finalement on ne repousse pas ses limites, on les découvre » 
 
Ces mots, ce sont ceux de mon dernier invité au micro des Voix des Solutions, l’aventurier, conférencier et auteur Matthieu Tordeur. 
 
À seulement 33 ans, il a déjà vécu de nombreuses expériences intenses, riches de l’audace qu’il nous appelle toutes et tous à cultiver : 
 
➡️ Un tour du monde de 11 mois, à sillonner les routes à bord d’une 4L pour découvrir la microfinance en actions ;
➡️ Une traversée de 250km à travers le désert du Sahara - l’équivalent de 4 marathons - en 4 jours ;
➡️ De nombreuses expéditions aux pôles Nord et Sud du globe, l’ayant même mené à devenir le plus jeune aventurier à traverser le pôle Sud - soit plus de 1 300 km - en solitaire et sans ravitaillement !
 
En une dizaine d'années, faite d'émerveillement et de dépassement de soi, Matthieu est aussi devenu un témoin de premier plan des conséquences du changement climatique, en particulier sur les milieux polaires. Lointains, peu habités, aux paysages à la limite de l'irréel, ils sont de véritables "climatiseurs de la Terre" essentiels à l'équilibre de l'ensemble de notre planète et de ses écosystèmes. 
 
Se découvrir, découvrir le monde, ses merveilles comme ses fragilités, et découvrir des personnes exceptionnelles aux 4 coins du globe, c’est la vie qu’a décidé d’embrasser Matthieu Tordeur et qu’il me livre dans un très bel échange pour Les Voix des Solutions.

Entretien avec un aventurier : "On ne repousse pas ses limites, on les découvre"

A great night’s sleep starts long before your head hits the pillow 

 When it comes to getting the sleep we need, we tend to focus on perfecting a bedtime routine in the hour before bed but, in doing so, we’re missing the biggest factor that dictates our sleep quality: how we spend our days.

In this groundbreaking and practical guide, sought-after sleep psychotherapist Heather Darwall-Smith explores how our ‘always-on’ lives are wreaking havoc when the time comes to rest. In doing so, she reshapes our understanding of sleep, and the struggles that surround it, to offer powerful insights for meaningful change.

With practical exercises and expert guidance, you’ll learn:

• What the stress of daily life is doing to your nervous system
• Simple ways to reset, rest and recover during the day that will transform your sleep
• The impact that environment, technology, nutrition, hormones and exercise have on you and your sleep
• How to solve your sleep issues by looking at your whole life

This book will transform your relationship with sleep and help you create the conditions for a restful night, so you can wake up to a brighter, more energised tomorrow.
