Some people call him a "Brand booster". Others call him a "Brain agent", or a "Creator". But even more significantly, all of them call him "Visionary" René; Boender's professional domain is the world. He has spread his magic seeds of wisdom and humour from Orlando to Perth, New York to Cape Town, Lisbon to Milan, Davos to Washington DC and Dubai to Willemstad.
His work as Trendteller has been just as diverse as his travel — involved in brands ranging from Sara-Lee to Philips, Apple to Albron, Luminex to Disney, Coca-Cola to ING and projects ranging from Dreamworks (film AND TV) to Amusement parks. And the exciting thing is — the word is getting out! René is very much in demand as a participant on (inter)national symposia and is a guest lecturer at universities! He is also one of the keynote 'Drivers' and 'Participants' of the prestigious 'Ootlook'.
René Boender isn't a fountain of ideas, he's a veritable gusher. A guru who knows what it takes. He inspires many global captains of industry in one-on-one sessions and knows how strike just the right chord with (BtB) consumers. He keeps track of virtually everything, and believes everything stands or falls through the power of communication. As you share time with him, you will find that he not only explains what 'Was', but — even more importantly — what will B-B-B-B
"I just thought I would write to let you know that Richard was the most incredible speaker we have had! He was so interesting, enthusiastic and, I understand, bubbling with energy rushing around the room. He tailored his speech to our industry and it was full of fasinating facts. We have had many positive comments."
"René. You have done an amazing job. Thank you for your great help! You have really inspired us."
"Dear Mr. Boender, on behave off all the attendees at the innovation summit, we like to thank you for your energy and innovation insights.
It was beyond our expectations. We are honoured to tell you that you are the first keynote speaker ever who reached the ‘kaizen’ status. We hope that you are able to visit us next year again!"
"René, You have the gift of insight into science and human behaviour and a great sense of humour to go with it. A very rare combination! I would be honoured to share the stage with you again, anytime, anywhere!"
It's easy to get impatient on your quest to be the best. After reading Great to Cool and visiting René’s keynote, I felt pumped up and ready for action! And then you wake up the next morning and things are pretty much the same! Until you feel the sweet brain candy is doing its work again (and again). When you're impatient and want to shake things up, you simply read it again and you start to change your business life! Thank you René, Great to Cool is an attitude!

"I want to thank you for the time, energy and creativity that you shared with us!
I will admit that when my team said they had met a marketing “guru” and wanted to bring him to Greenville, I was not overly impressed. So, I was prepared for “another day of mediocrity” but as it turned out I was blessed with one of the best, most energizing days that I’ve ever experienced in business. You brought marketing alive in a way that I’ve not heard from others and I believe it is because you live it every day so that it is real, not a bunch of words. What was most impressive was that you brought an action plan for us to follow…not just a bunch of ideas. An action plan integrated into stimulating and actionable ideas was a gift for us. Your breadth of experience with high impact companies allows you to bring life to your presentation. I will honestly tell you that I look forward to working with you in the future .Thank you again for everything that you gave to us."
"He makes the sun shine out of the mud. Let rain feel as liquid sunshine. He can make you fly. Not only for a moment. His voice is felt throughout the company for a long time. Wow... what a motivator!"
"He puts your company upside down and up again. René makes difficult easy... it’s the fast track to get more success and innovations."
"René Boender inspires and affirms you with his intelligence, authenticity, positive humour, depth and most of all compassion. He makes difficult issues easy to understand! And spreads his insights and energy to go for it."
"I want to say 'Thank You Thank You Thank you' so much for a 'cliff hanger' of a presentation at the Marriott on March 25. You received all 5 star ratings from the producers who filled in their evaluation forms. It was truly the most 'eggceptional' presentation ever given at any of our meetings. As an industry we will certainly try to implement many of your suggestions as we endeavour to sell more eggs more often. Thanks again."
