Vivian Karlsen DSB

Thank you for a world-class presentation that received great feedback throughout the day. It was excellent! I will naturally share further and look forward to building upon your inspiration in our daily lives. We left inspired, and that was the whole point.

Nikolaj Meyland-Smith Solutions Warehouses

René is full of energy whether he's on stage in front of 2-300 people or with us in front of the staff of 22 people. He sees the employees and manages to engage them. We had a fantastic 2-hour lecture that stayed with us for the rest of our study trip - we started the following days by each saying something positive from the day before. I was inspired and returned home with a very engaged staff. Definitely worth the money.

Gitte Pedersen Danish Administration Center

We had a good and thorough dialogue with René prior to the lecture. It was clear that he had a good understanding of the target audience. The presentation has received great praise - the participants found it relevant and rewarding.

Katrine Mikkelsen Department of Chemistry, Aarhus University

I can highly recommend René and his lectures on “Valuable Workplace Communities Start with You” and “The Art of Being Happy”. He managed to blend the two presentations and had a visual thread that made the theory tangible and understandable. René delivered his presentation to around 100 employees, and everyone was entertained and inspired.

Pia Svendsen Thy-Mors Energy Holding A/S

The lecture received very positive feedback from the participants. The speaker was adept at conveying and entertaining, and appealed to a wide audience.
