“Hugo Bonjean's informative presentation on globalization and values engaged our students, faculty, and staff in a thoughtful consideration of how our lives are connected to larger issues of health, poverty, and the environment and showed us how we can use our daily choices to make a positive difference in the world. "

Diane Dreher, Associate Dean, Santa Clara University

"Hugo's presentation style and the message were both refreshing. He models what he teaches; his messages come straight from the heart and the wisdom of sages from whom he has learned. As mostly leaders ourselves, he inspired us to move in directions that are rewarding for ourselves and for the staff we lead."
Erwin Teuber, Ph.D. - Executive Director - Terry Reilly Health Services

I have been told to be an inspiring and passionate speaker with an important message for the world.  I feel always humbled when people tell me that because I do have a strong Flemish accent and personally find that my message is so simple.  But maybe it is exactly that simplicity and my passion behind the words that touches peoples' hearts and inspires them to action.  There is always an element of personal experience in what I share during presentations. I like to push the boundaries and provoke thought and love to interact with the audience.  

Please contact me at hb@hugobonjean.com or my publicist at ilse@intheeyesofanahita.com to book a presentation.  As long as I can feed my family, I always try to work within the organization’s budget.  Spreading the message is the priority!

My favorite presentations are:

- Why do People have to Pay for Food?  The story behind In the Eyes of Anahita

- Leading by Releasing: Leadership for sustainability, creativity and success.

- Be the Change: You can make a difference. Every small step counts. Act now!

- Social Entrepreneurship: Entrepreneurial thinking for the benefit of society!

- We Create what we Measure: What's wrong with our current economic model & how we fix it!

"Leading by Releasing™ has been the best training/coaching program that I have experienced in my career. It was distinctly different from other training programs because it first addressed the strength and creativity of management and all company employees before focusing on the company and its customers. If you are truly interested in delivering quality products and services, Hugo Bonjean's leadership program is a great tool to accelerate on the path to excellence."

Guneet Bajwa - General Manager Holiday Inn Convention Centre Edmonton, AB Canada.

"Hugo Bonjean has a unique perspective on looking at group dynamics and has been able to turn his own employees into a loyal and achievement oriented group."

John Merkin - Vice President Holiday Inn Services.
