“People don’t burn out from hard work. It’s from a lack of meaning. Purpose matters.”

Rene was once a poverty-stricken boy in a small Haitian village. Today, he travels across North America to deliver powerful keynotes that… help leaders banish stress, prevent burnout, and conquer change.

When he speaks, hearts open, minds expand, and people uncover the resilience they never knew they had. Now he wants to share his message with your leadership team.

The Resilient Rene

“Resilience is the inner strength that transforms adversity into triumph. In my darkest moments—facing hunger, illness, and despair in a small Haitian village—I discovered that resilience is not just about enduring hardship but about emerging stronger and more determined.” -Rene Godefroy
