---- The Story ----
From a Village in Haiti.
Rene grew up in a small Haitian village with no electricity and no running water. At 21, he arrived in America with $5 in his pocket, two shirts, and no English, hiding near the rear tires of an eighteen-wheeler.
He swept floors. He washed cars on the streets of Miami. He worked as a hotel doorman for fourteen years, holding doors open for the people he dreamed of becoming.
Then one day he realized something that changed everything. It was not Haiti holding him back. It was not poverty. It was not the language barrier. It was the story he was telling himself about all of those things. The moment he broke that story and replaced it with a new one, his life changed.
Today Rene speaks for sales teams and founders facing the same invisible enemy. Not the market. Not AI disruption. Not the rejection. The story running in their heads about all of those things. He gives them a specific framework to find that story, break it on purpose, and replace it with one that drives action instead of paralysis.
His message is not about inspiration. Inspiration fades. This is a repeatable mental tool your team uses the Monday after your event and every time the next wave of pressure hits.

Why Book Rene
For Your Event?
Your team already knows how to sell. They have the training, the scripts, and the product knowledge. What is eating your numbers is not a skills gap. It is the story running in their heads when the rejection piles up, the quota feels impossible, and AI starts making them question everything they do.
Most keynote speakers give your people a feeling. It lasts a week. Rene gives them a tool. A specific, repeatable process to spot the story that is slowing them down and replace it before it makes their decisions for them. The fire does not fade Monday morning because they walk away with something they can actually use.
Rene has spoken for Coca-Cola, AT&T, Marriott, and the U.S. Army. The last time he was on a sales stage, the room gave him three standing ovations. Not because he taught a new tactic. Because he finally said out loud what the whole room was feeling and showed them exactly how to break it.
If your people have the skills but keep hitting an invisible wall, that wall has a name. Rene knows what it is, how to find it, and how to break it on purpose.
No Cookie-Cutter Speeches
Rene researches your industry and your specific culture before he ever steps on stage. He bridges universal resilience principles with the exact challenges your team faces today. You get a speech that feels built just for you.
Easy to Work With
Professionalism is at the core of everything Rene does. From seamless travel logistics to technical rehearsals, he makes sure the speaking portion of your event is completely stress-free. He prides himself on being the easiest name on your agenda.
