Once a Poor Boy In Haiti, Now Invited
By The Napoleon Hill Foundation
To Deliver a Life-changing & Motivational
Keynote On How Mr. Hill’s
Philosophy Changed His Life

Atlanta, GA, February 21, 2004 – Haitian Motivational keynote speaker & award-winning author Rene Godefroy to address the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at 2300 173rd Street Hammond, Indiana on Friday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m.

Unable to speak English, Rene arrived in America with five dollars, two shirts and one pair of pants housed in a tattered briefcase. His hope was to one day be able to lend a hand to his village in Haiti. Where many would see nothing but overwhelming odds stacked against them, Godefroy saw an abundance of opportunity and a chance to pursue the “American Dream.” “Napoleon Hill’s philosophy on success is what put me on the road to living my dream. Prior to reading Think & Grow Rich, I had only heard of the word success. But through his book, it was Mr. Hill who shared it’s ingredients with me.” Says Godefroy.

Once in America, Godefroy summoned his keen survival instincts to pursue his ambitions. He taught himself English and read voraciously. As his knowledge increased, his quality of life improved and his dream of helping his fellow Haitians and making an impact in America was sure to be realized.

Today, as one of America’s most sought-after and inspiring motivational keynote speakers, Rene is renowned both nationally and internationally. His advice on achieving success has graced the ears of thousands! He has appeared on CBS's 60 Minutes, in a segment that featured Zig Ziglar, and Colin Powell. Armed with a passionate story and a compelling vision, Rene exemplifies the essence of what makes America great!
