What did Michel Poulaert, Csp do before becoming a speaker?
For 18 years, I was a salesperson and manager for a Dutch company in the automotive sector.
Before that, I was a salesperson for different companies and even did some journalism.
What led Michel Poulaert, Csp to become a speaker?
I did not become a speaker because I have always loved being on stage.
But not just that... 😄
I have always loved to transmit, share what I have learned, but especially what I have experienced.
My successes are less interesting than my failures, my doubts, my mistakes, and all those moments when life forced me to look at things differently. And deep down, that's what happens to all of us in our professional activities.
And then, from a young age, something happened quite naturally: I was often chosen to lead teams.
Not because I was necessarily the most competent or the one who knew everything better than others. But because I was dynamic, enthusiastic, and I had this almost innate ability to motivate others and get them on board with me, sometimes even in the craziest projects!
As the eldest of 8 children, then scouting allowed me to develop this taste for collectivity, responsibility, and transmission very early on.
Then my years in the corporate world and sales confirmed something to me: I am a natural enthusiast and I love to give energy to others. I love to make them want to believe and especially to act.
This is probably where my desire to become a speaker was born.
To continue transmitting this energy, but this time to dozens, hundreds, sometimes thousands of people at once.
I did not want to simply explain things. I wanted to tell stories, make people laugh, move them, provoke insights, give momentum back, and inspire them to dare.
Because an idea is only valuable when it travels.
And if, for an hour, a story, a phrase, or even a burst of laughter can help someone look at a failure differently, regain confidence, or dare to do something they would never have dared before… then that hour spent on stage was definitely worth it.
Why book Michel Poulaert, Csp rather than another speaker?
Clearly for a theatrical and energetic stage presence!
Clients regularly say: it shows that I live what I say!
What is Michel Poulaert, Csp's speaking angle?
My power comes from storytelling. All the stories I tell serve the message and illustrate the keys I propose.
And each of these stories is illuminated by scientific discoveries on these subjects.
How does the audience experience a talk by Michel Poulaert, Csp?
