Charles-Louis de Maere

Bringing people together is something that lives on through my workshops and training. Whether they take place online or on-premise, I facilitate workshops and learning experiences that focus on high participation, on learning by doing and verifying that the concepts are integrated. I use Live Online Learning Activities to ensure people get a chance to practice their understanding of the new concepts.

What better way is there to give meaning to what we say than to draw to make our thoughts explicit? When we add visual information to what we’re saying, suddenly our intention becomes much more precise, and we can begin to work on shared understanding. This is why I love bringing people in contact with the power of Visual Thinking, of getting back to our roots and using pen and paper to bring people closer together.

Stories are another option for bringing sensitive topics to the surface, which I recently started to explore through my self-development practice, as well as during numerous Around the world in (less than) 80 days workshops throughout the past years!

Jeff Paquet Homeboiflicks

I’m Jeff Paquet — a filmmaker, storyteller, and proud New Orleans native.

I spent 13 years deep in theater — acting, directing, building shows from the ground up on stages across California. That grind taught me how to tell stories with heart and hustle.

I transitioned into TV and film with multiple agents in Los Angeles and beyond. After years of auditions, near-misses, and industry politics, I realized the only way to keep creating on my own terms was to build it myself.

So I linked up with my creative partner — my right-hand man, Luke, my ‘right nut’ — and together we’ve written, shot, edited, and released **150 original short films** as the duo Homeboiflix. No big studio, no permission, just pure independent fire.

Today I speak about creative independence, turning frustration into momentum, and how we’re now leveling up from shorts to full feature films — while building a real community through NFTs that puts our biggest supporters on set, at premieres, and inside the process.

Rafael Tizzani

Rafael Tizzani

En sus inicios lideró la guerra de las colas de los 90, reposicionando en el liderazgo a la hasta entonces desaparecida Pepsi. Este logro fue resultado de aplicar creatividad y esfuerzos comerciales que revolucionaron las técnicas de promoción y venta en nuestro país.

Luego impulsó los cambios en Bieckert, tomando más de 20 puntos de participación del líder del mercado. En esta ocasión la segmentación y los cambios en la distribución fueron las claves para lograr el éxito.

Cerrando el ciclo de bebidas recaló en IVESS dónde la necesidad era “un cambio total”, pasar de una cultura de reparto y monoproducto a una de venta profesional multiproducto, logrando vencer las barreras del cambio que colocan las personas cuando están en un negocio rentable con una marca líder.

El siguiente paso fue desarrollar planes comerciales innovadores en Arcor directamente desde el área de RRHH comercial, la función era desarrollar la máxima potencialidad a través de planes de seguimiento que involucraban la capacitación y mejora continua...

El punto en común de esta primera etapa era enseñar a las compañías de consumo masivo a brindar servicio y potenciar los procesos de calidad. En la segunda la misión fue despertar a las empresas de servicios hacia la necesidad del consumo masivo, adaptación al cambio y creatividad.

Así fueron Hartford Life, Liberty, BNL, Lloyds Bank, Banco Galicia, AFJP Prorenta y Citibank, los primeros beneficiados a través de los servicios de consultoría y capacitación.

Han pasado más de veinte años y con servicios de excelencia acompañó importantes emprendimientos de capacitación a empresas como: Sancor Seguros, Neoris, Automóvil Club, AGFA, Telecom, Calsa, AUDI, Carrefour, VW, Philis Morris, DHL, YPF, Exxon Mobil, Du Pont Pionner, John Deere, Manpower, Fibertel, Toyota, Peugeot, Novartis, Unilever, Accenture, ACARA, Energía San Juan, Shell, San Cristóbal y muchas más.

También trabaja con empresas en el exterior y acreditó experiencia como profesor de la UBA y USAL en Negociación, Ventas, Liderazgo, Coaching y Creatividad.

Keith Sanders

Keith Sanders

Keith Sanders spent his early years attending Raleigh-Broughton High School, where he developed an interest in teamwork and community responsibility. During that time, he became aware of the importance of helping others during emergencies and difficult situations. After graduating from high school, he attended North Carolina State University. His experience there helped strengthen his understanding of leadership, communication, and cooperation while encouraging his interest in public safety and emergency response work.

Keith Sanders of Raleigh later pursued firefighter training through Western Wake Fire Rescue. He completed Firefighter Training I and II, gaining the technical knowledge and physical preparation required for emergency response duties. The training focused on organization, teamwork, and the ability to remain calm during stressful situations. This stage of his life became an important step toward entering active firefighting service and provided the experience needed for future responsibilities in public safety operations.

Keith served as a firefighter from 1999 through 2003, responding to emergencies that required focus, preparation, and reliable teamwork. During those years, he worked in demanding situations where quick decision-making and communication were essential. The experience shaped many of the values that continued guiding his life after his firefighting career ended. Although he stepped away from active service in 2003, he remained connected to emergency response efforts and continued supporting community-focused projects whenever possible.

Keith Sanders of North Carolina became more involved in nonprofit organizations and volunteer outreach after transitioning out of the fire service. He supported groups including Rise Against Hunger, A Place at the Table, Artspace, and Project Reach Out. In addition to nonprofit involvement, he participated in church outreach programs and cancer fundraising efforts throughout the state. Much of his volunteer work involved practical assistance and direct participation in projects that supported local communities and individuals facing challenges.

Keith participated in relief efforts during late 2024 after hurricanes caused significant damage in parts of the North Carolina mountains. During those operations, he helped transport water and support rescue-related activities connected to emergency recovery work. His firefighting background remained valuable in situations requiring physical effort and organized teamwork. The experience reflected his continued willingness to assist communities during emergencies and showed how his earlier training continued influencing his actions years later.

Sanders has also explored interests outside public service through appearances in films such as Shades of Grey, French Exit, and Tears of a Clown. Although acting was not the primary focus of his career, those opportunities enabled him to work in creative environments and broaden his experience. Alongside those interests, he remains active through running, biking, and soccer. He has completed several races in the Raleigh area and maintains a lifestyle centered on outdoor activity and physical fitness.

Keith Sanders continues to enjoy spending time along North Carolina’s coastal waters during the warmer months of the year. Boating and fishing remain important parts of his routine, providing balance alongside his volunteer work and community involvement. Fishing has become one of the activities he values most because it allows him to relax while remaining active outdoors. His steady dedication to volunteer service, emergency support, and local outreach continues to reflect the practical values and strong sense of responsibility that have guided his life over the years.
