His highly charismatic keynotes inspire audiences to rethink their priorities, and raise the bar of personal and professional productivity and excellence. Rene often interviews members of his audience to craft a tailor-made message for every scenario. Born in a tiny, isolated village on the island of Haiti, Rene was an impoverished child tormented by extended illness and diseases. Abandoned by his father and left behind while his mother sought work in the city, he survived on breadfruit and the occasional fish he caught with a string and hook. In 1983, at the age of 21, Rene came to Montreal, Canada with a Haitian theater company. Within two months of his arrival, he escaped into the United States by wedging his body between the rear tires of a tractor-trailer. He arrived in New York with five dollars, two shirts, one pair of pants, and no ability to speak English. Rene quickly employed his keen survival instincts in pursuit of his ambitions. He taught himself English, read voraciously and exploited every window of opportunity. Today, he is one of America’s most inspiring speakers. Rene appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes, in a segment that featured Zig Ziglar, and Colin Powell. As a proud American citizen, Rene reminds his audiences to be grateful for the privilege of living in such a bountiful country where success is a matter of choice, and no condition is ever permanent!
