Like every entrepreneur I made my mistakes, learned from them and had my successes. My key strength is to build with a team a successful organization and fulfill the clients requirements. My energy level is high, I work and think international with always a big smile at my face.
In Motivational Speaking I frequently use personal stories about my own business setbacks, surviving cancer and staying positive and future-oriented in life, to show how passion, dedication and persistence can help you overcome any professional or personal challenge. I believe that anyone can overcome their struggles and live to their full potential.
