He Started In A Poor Village

His American Dream

Rene arrived in the US with only five dollars, one pair of pants, and two shirts. He didn’t speak English.

He quickly realized the American Dream is possible for anyone who is willing to pay the price and maintain a positive attitude.

While many were making excuses, blaming others, and playing the victim game, Rene chose to pursue the American Dream.

With only $3, he started his first business in the parking lot of a bank washing cars in Miami. In spite of so many rejections Rene proved anything is possible with the right attitude.

Today, Rene is sharing stages with global leaders. From classrooms to corporate giants, he has woven a tapestry of hope, courage, and resilience to inspire millions.

His words are engraved into the hearts and minds of those fortunate enough to hear them his message.

The city of Smyrna, Georgia dedicated an entire day as the “Rene Godefroy Day”. The city of Fort Lauderdale, Florida granted him a key to the city.

Testimonials For RENE GODEFROY

“Your fascinating story was not only inspiring, it provided a great foundation for our mentors and mentees as they begin setting goals and establishing expectations for their new partnerships.”
– Jerry S. Wilson
Vice President, Coca-Cola

Rene Godefroy was our keynote speaker last week at our Aflac Kick-off meeting in Tennessee. He was a big hit. He was motivational, entertaining and kept the audience engaged the entire time, which is rare for a speaker. People are still talking about his performance. I would highly recommend Rene to speak at your next event.

– Alan Martin
State Training Coordinator, Aflac

Your presentation was a masterpiece of motivation. It is so easy in a service profession to get into a rut and to take for granted all the things we ‘are’ and ‘have.’ Our staff tend to get burn out and need someone to give them the boost to start fresh and to ‘feel’ again. You have accomplished that for them and I am truly grateful.
– Donna K Wilson
Vice President, DHS

“Our conference evaluations suggest that this might have been the best event we have ever offered… I believe that this is more than a statement about the overall depth and substance of our program; it’s a direct reflection of your individual talent…NAPT members have seen and heard some terrific speakers–like Roger Crawford, Charlie Plumb, Jeanne Robertson–so it’s high praise when they give a standing ovation, much less for two!”
