What Are You So Afraid Of?
A powerful and deeply personal journey into the fears we rarely name but constantly feel — fear of judgment, fear of belonging, fear of not being enough. This book unpacks how doubt quietly shapes our decisions, our relationships, and the way we see ourselves. Through honest storytelling and cultural insight, it shows how to confront those inner barriers, reclaim confidence, and step into a life guided by truth rather than fear.
Romain delivered multiple sessions for us during a month-long mental health at work campaign.
Collaboration in the run up to the sessions was great with Romain taking time to understand the needs of our company, and allowing me to share some specific details (such as policies and employee networks) that he incorporated into his content.
Delivery was great — Romain created open spaces for people to reflect and provided opportunities for engagement throughout, despite some group sizes being over 100 people. Feedback has been really positive!

Romain has been an absolute star in matching me up with a new job. Right from the beginning, he was in constant contact, letting me know what was happening and what to expect to happen next. He even called on my first day to see how it went.
He was kind, helpful, respectful, and always did what was in the best interests of all parties. I would recommend Romain to all companies and people looking to get the right person and job aligned.

Thank you
I just wanted to say thanks for everything. I really appreciate what you do for us students and how you help mentor us on these career choices. I didn’t get the chance to tell you, but I recently had an interview for a help desk/Field tech position. Hopefully, I get it. I sent you a request on LinkedIn to keep in touch. Well, happy holidays and thanks for everything.

I GOT THE JOB!
I just wanted to take a second to say THANK YOU!
I just found out I got the IT internship I applied for. I’m making $21/hr full-time with benefits! Honestly, I don’t think I would have even started applying for jobs and internships in the industry if it wasn’t for you pushing us in class.
