"The world needs you, show the world who you are." In his inspiring TEDx talk, Maxime Liefooghe explores the power of authenticity and the importance of embracing your unique style. He highlights how true success comes from staying true to yourself and rejecting the pressure to conform. Maxime’s message is a call to action: life is too short to live someone else’s version of it, be you. Maxime Liefooghe is a speaker and coach specializing in sales and leadership. While naturally social and able to connect easily with others, he learned that true sales success stems from building trust and credibility, rather than simply being a skilled communicator. Recognizing that many people fear or misunderstand sales, Maxime had to grow into the role himself, seeking knowledge through books, training, and coaching.He quickly grasped the essence of sales, achieved strong results, and transitioned into leadership—a journey that brought new challenges and opportunities for growth. Maxime believes that training is often too theoretical and generic. Instead, he emphasizes practical, engaging, and empowering learning experiences that ignite enthusiasm for applying new skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
