“At The Merode, we hosted an evening that was more than a keynote — it was a dialogue with real depth. Mathieu opened with a compelling vision on human development, performance, and freedom, weaving together science, philosophy, and Olympic fieldwork. The keynote was followed by a moderated exchange featuring an Olympic gold medallist and a leading CEO, which grounded the discussion in real-world experience and leadership practice.

What resonated most with our members was Mathieu’s ability to highlight the connection between inner balance and high performance. He challenged the room to rethink leadership — not as a race for efficiency, but as a craft rooted in clarity, presence, and purpose. Mathieu invited leaders to cultivate the discipline of conscious action: to pause, realign, and lead from intention rather than habit. It’s this shift — from reactive to deliberate — that many cited as transformative.

We recommend him without hesitation.”

“This wasn’t another keynote. Mathieu Gram shook us awake. His Olympic perspective on performance and quality of life, merged with philosophy, was both disruptive and practical. It challenged us to rethink how we work, lead, and live. This wasn’t inspiration for a day, but a mirror that lingers. If you want the usual, look elsewhere. If you want to be challenged at the core, invite him.”

“Mathieu brings perspective that is both inspiring and immediately relevant for leaders navigating change.”

“Mathieu’s talk at Alan was not about chasing medals, but about rethinking how we live and perform. His Olympic perspective reminded us that quality of life and performance are inseparable. What stood out was the way he combined sharp insights with a deeply human touch, provoking us to pause, reflect, and realign. In a world where it’s easy to burn out while trying to perform, he showed us how to sustain excellence without losing ourselves. It was not just thought-provoking, it was directly relevant to the way we want to build work and life at Alan.”

“Mathieu’s keynote is more than a talk — it’s an experience that sparks reflection and triggers new thinking. Through a flow of ideas, insights and quotes, he challenged us to pause, reconsider assumptions and connect performance, well-being and mindset in a fresh way. We left not just inspired, but with new perspectives we could immediately apply.”

“He brings a rare and captivating presence to the stage, with an ability to hold up the mirror we all need — as entrepreneurs, as leaders, and as human beings — inviting us to make choices that are deeply aligned with what truly matters. Through his words, he reminds you of your own strength, and with that comes a renewed sense of balance, vitality, and well-being.

Mathieu doesn’t simply deliver a keynote; he creates an experience. From the very first moment, he captivates the audience with authenticity and depth. His insights reflect an exceptional breadth of knowledge and the wisdom gained through his work with top athletes and high-performing entrepreneurs on mental resilience and peak performance.

What resonates most is his calm, grounded presence and the effortless connection he builds with his audience. There is a sincerity about him that instantly draws you in. Every encounter with Mathieu feels enriching, creating a genuine invitation to grow, both personally and professionally."
