About this conversation
From paratrooper to pilot, Tony Robbins bodyguard to global speaker, René Deceuninck breaks down how 93% of communication happens beyond words—sharing practical cues, cultural pitfalls (why a thumbs-up can misfire), micro-expressions, and the “Rolls-Royce” trick for spotting memory vs. fabrication, plus stories of meeting the Dalai Lama and his vision for eco-luxury wellness resorts.
In this conversation, René teaches simple, usable tools: how eye movements map to memory vs. construction, why congruence beats “fake it till you make it,” how to steer a tough meeting with your posture and tone, and when to trust your gut—and he previews his hands-on trainings (including a two-day intensive at Eileen’s avocado ranch). If you lead, sell, interview, or just want better relationships, this one’s a masterclass in reading the room and being deeply, authentically heard.
