He arrived in the U.S. as at the age of twenty-one. He was a broke and hopeless immigrant, unable to speak English.But, the chance to pursue the American Dream and the freedom to do so excited and energized him.Rene became a true believer when he started his first business with three dollars in a parking lot. He discovered that hard work, resourcefulness, and a positive attitude were the formula for success in America.“Most people take freedom for granted in this country. I cherish it with all my heart. What makes a nation great is not knowledge or resources. It’s the freedom to use and apply them that makes a nation great,” says Rene.Today, he joins forces with leaders to help them boost morale, reduce turnover, and spread a positive attitude. His keynote presentations challenge audiences to embrace change and transform crises into opportunities.Visit Rene Online: https://www.renegodefroy.com/Connect with Rene on LinkedIn: renegodefroy  Become a CEO Zones Member: https://ceozones.com/apply","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/uKt3KVYJeHV3q-sVB4TWCGSxCm7im_p59IGOMDjgoKY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zNWQ1/NWRhNTFhYjRlNTAy/M2U0ODEwMzkzZWZk/NWJmNy5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
