Motivational Speaker: Rene Godefroy

Business motivational speaker Rene Godefroy is known as the world's leading authority on possibility discovery. His motivational keynote presentations inspire audiences to step out of their comfort zone, embrace change with a positive attitude in order to discover what's possible for them.

Born in a tiny and remote village in Haiti, Rene Godefroy was an impoverished child tormented by illnesses. As a child, he survived primarily on breadfruit and the occasional rare fish he caught with a string and hook.

He arrived in the US with only five dollars, two shirts and one pair of pants housed in a tattered briefcase. And, he did not speak any English. While many were complaining about their circumstances, Rene saw a huge opportunity to seize the American Dream.

He worked as a janitor and washed cars on the streets of Miami. As a janitor, Rene dug in the trashcans to find letters. Late at night he would read out aloud the letters so he can how to write English.

Eventually Rene made his way to Atlanta, Georgia where he landed a job as a doorman at the Renaissance Waverly Hotel. There, he continued to teach himself English. He would scan the back seat of the cars he was parking to discover what books his guests were reading.

Sure enough, he found and bought lots of awesome books. Every night, he would stay up late to study those books. "No one should live in a country of plenty empty. The US was the Promised Land for me when I was a poor kid in Haiti. I have not been disappointed", said Rene.

Today, Rene is living the American Dream. He's one of America's most sought after motivational speakers. Top companies such as Aflac, Coca Cola, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless seek him out as the motivational speaker to help them boost morale. His motivational message is simple: No Condition is Permanent!

As a humanitarian, Rene's vision is to inspire millions in remote places that are living lives of resignation and quiet desperation.
