René travels all over the world giving his own inspirational brand of conferences addresses. In his role as e-chairman he is able to keep himself abreast of latest initiatives and up to the minute changes in organisations who are leading the dot.com explosion.
As well as teaching leadership and people management skills, René runs workshops on vision, strategy and delivery. He has also established a number of mentoring initiatives to assist the socially deprived in the needier parts of London.
