Cadre Presents

YOUniversity with
René Rodriguez

Portrait of Rene Rodriguez

Amplify Your Influence with René Rodriguez

Master the science of moving people in the boardroom, on the sales call, and at your own kitchen table

A great keynote can change how you think. This one is built to change how you communicate. You won’t just hear René’s framework for becoming more influential; you’ll practice it before you leave. You go home with a skill you can use in your very next conversation

We’re changing things up for September. Rather than a shorter event with just a keynote, there will be a working session as well. We’ll be going from 1:00 to 4:00 with René, then move into meaningful relationship-building and un-networking to close out the day.

1. The Keynote & Working Session (1:00–4:00 with René) This isn’t a lecture. René will teach his framework for influence and leadership, and then put it in your hands so you actually practice it before you leave.

2. Intentional Connection We’ll guide the room into real conversations that will turn loose connections into the people you’ll call when it matters.

3. Un-Networking We’ll close the day the CADRE way: relationship-building with no pitching, no card-swapping, no performance. Just remarkable people getting to know each other.


WHAT YOU’LL LEAVE WITH

  • A complete transformation in how you speak in meetings and in front of audiences
  • A renewed sense of confidence in every aspect of your business and your life
  • A powerful 3-step approach to influencing behavior
  • The secrets to powerful personal storytelling
  • A clear vision of what leadership means and how to use it in everyday life
  • Inspiration paired with a clear path for how to lead and communicate more effectively

 

BONUS: All attendees will receive a free copy of René’s Wall Street Journal best-seller, Amplify Your Influence!

 

THE ROOM

There’s a particular energy that shows up when you put remarkable people in the same room. A room with successful founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are ambitious about business and life.

If you have big goals, you need to prioritize being in close proximity to others who are wired like you. Not doing this is one of the most overlooked and underutilized assets at your disposal.

You’ll walk out sharper, more locked in, and more connected than you walked in because of who you spent the afternoon with.
