After the passing of Ruben’s mother when he was 9 years old, he became withdrawn. Growing up he found it difficult to connect and to see things from a positive perspective.
From his 17th he was fed up with his insecurities and negative thinking so he decided to take action on changing this. By learning more about psychology and applying positive thinking, he started seeing an amazing change in himself and the way people respond to him. Ruben noticed however that the way we communicate on the work floor is often negative.Having had his own negative working experience in a two star Michelin restaurant and seeing many people being dissatisfied in their jobs, Ruben started asking questions like: Why do we do what we do? Why are we focused on the things that go wrong? Why are people so sad when Monday comes around and so happy when its Friday?As a result of his drive to find answers to these questions Ruben had founded two companies by the age of 23. With the first company he helped hundreds of people gain confidence through psychological and practical coaching. With his second company he trains employees to become more positive and stimulate this positivity in their colleagues.What is his vision? Giving everyone the conscious ability to see and act through a positive perspective. Why? Because live is a lot more beautiful that way.
