Keynote Els Van Laecke (ENG): Power of Trust
Els Van Laecke (40) is a self-made woman who has co-created several successful businesses while working online 70% of the time, allowing her to have ample quality time with her family.
Today, the Els Van Laecke Breakthrough Academy boasts a team of nine world-class coaches.
With her straightforward, no-nonsense approach and high energy, coachees sometimes describe Els as the Flemish equivalent of Tony Robbins.
She doesn’t shy away from this comparison – it might be atypical for someone from Flanders, but Els firmly believes in not limiting oneself, embracing financial success, and recognizing that entrepreneurs must be commercially savvy to help others.
She also emphasizes the importance of having a generous attitude (there’s enough for everyone), maintaining a positive outlook, and living with joy as the default mode.
With her brand-new Play Big Tribe program, she is focused on supporting impatient entrepreneurs who are eager to make progress in their businesses.
