Greet De Grave is deeply guided by a powerful purpose: to inspire others to lead a joyful, healthy life, fueled by activities that brings energy and fulfillment. She believes in living with a strong sense of self-awareness that shapes not only personal growth but also one’s broader positive impact on the world.

For Greet, sports are more than just a hobby—they are a vital source of balance, offering both a physical outlet and a way to maintain a healthy mind and body. This passion for well-being and growth is at the heart of everything she does.

As Executive Director of the Young Leaders – Inspiring Mentors (YL-IM) program, Greet combines her love for mentorship and leadership development with her professional expertise. Beyond her role at YL-IM, she channels her energy into organizing major mass sporting events as a project manager at Golazo.
