I run an educational company in London and talk about the secrets and benefits of Body Language worldwide.

I am blessed to have shared the stage with many wellknown speakers, like Jack Canfield, Jairek Robbins, and Brian Tracy, in many different countries, from London to Brussels, Amsterdam, Tehran, Bangkok, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Chicago, Los Angeles ... the list goes on. I teach people how to raise their self-confidence and hear what’ s not being verbalised in their business or personal communications. I enable them to understand clearly the meaning of what poeple say, and distinguish between the truth and a lie in the blink of an eye. I knew I had to live my passion, play a higher role, and serve a higher purpose at a very young age. I saw many people struggling in my neighbourhood, trading their time for little in return. They were always busy, never had time to enjoy, and holidays were out of reach. That’ s where I started my journey, and the road had many blocks along the way. I faced moments of despair, hopelessness, and frustration, When I was a young boy, around six or seven. I was bullied; the boys in school laughed at me, threw my school bag away, destroyed my pencil case and stole my lunchbox. There was always

I KNEW I HAD TO LIVE MY PASSION, PLAY A HIGHER ROLE, AND SERVE A HIGHER PURPOSE AT A VERY YOUNG AGE.

something going on that made me miserable. I sometimes cried in the school toilets, where nobody could see me. I was born in a small town near the sea in Knokke, Belgium. The North Sea has always brought me comfort. I started to replace the adverse events in my life with positive dreams. I would stare at the people in the distance, curious about why they did what they did. During class, I would look out of the window, spotting a colourful bird that came flying by, observing the man on a motorcycle, or dreaming of becoming a pilot when I saw a plane flying overhead. I could listen endlessly to the fascinating stories of a Monk who taught religion. He was so inspiring, I imagined myself in the movie about his life. My teachers labelled me

“ a dreamer, ” as thought it was a bad thing. I later learned that dreaming is the juice for anything you would like to accomplish in Life! On my eleventh birthday, my parents gave me a book titled “Kung-Fu. ” You might think it would be about Chinese Martial Arts, as practised by Bruce Lee or David Carradine in the seventies. However, the book was about an old inspirational way of thinking called the “Tao Te Ching. ” One may ask which parents give an 11-yaer-old a book about life wisdom. I only truly understood it about ten years later when I read it more deeply. In the meantimes, my life became terrible, I hated going to school in the morning, and I couldn ’t run home fast enough. This went on into high school. My first three years in high school were a complete failure. I wanted all the attention and tried to prove myself but did this in an adolescent way. After my third year in high school, my parents were informed that I was no longer welcome at the school.

After a lot of consultation, thinking, and brainstorming within the family, we decided that I would go to a hotel school and learn how to cook and serve. There, I started to feel more responsible and wanted to make sense of my results and life.

We were taught how to run a business at the hotel school, which suited me very well. I started to dream about

becoming an entrepreneur or owning a restaurant or hotel. I wanted to prove that I wasn ’t a loser or a good-for-nothing. I wouldn ’t repeat history and be the person who would end up in misery. The two things I am eternally grateful for are the few teachers who stood up for me and that I was lucky to have a good home with parents who cared tremendously. During my years in high school, I had an excellent part-time job in the hospitality industry. At 13, I started as a cleaning boy in a swimming pool complex. The following year I served in the restaurant of a tennis club, and another year later, I became Sous-Chef in a large hotel kitchen by the sea. Eventually, I graduated and was very proud to have achieved this. Things got better and better, however. But more on that next time.
