“When life’s journey is over and it’s time to leave mankind, remember it’s not what you take with you, but what you leave behind.” – Reneé Rongen
Typically the word “legacy” is thought of as something a person leaves after they die, but what if you were living your legacy now? Learn how to live your life backwards! Reneé provides tools and resources for in-dividuals and organizations to lead and live their lives from the inside out. Through her gift as a master sto-ryteller, author and constant consummate of observing life, Reneé shares lessons and philosophies learned from the trenches. Learn what is to be treasured in this lifetime and how to pass those treasures on in your daily lives with strangers on the street, co-workers, family and your community. “Life’s Your Legacy...Live IT” is about taking risks, using and sharing your unique gifts, faith, laughing, and becoming living legends today in your personal and professional lives.
From being a Marketing Strategist for large organizations to moth-erhood, board trustee to PTA - and everywhere in between - Reneé Rongen has learned from these roles and uses her knowledge and hilarious stories to energize and motivate with her signature Legacy Living philosophy - inspiring those she touches to live life from the inside out. She believes that individuals and organizations, given the proper tools, have the ability to not just survive, but thrive!
Reneé holds a Bachelor Degree in Business from the College of St. Benedict. She is the International Spokesperson for the Pay It Forward Foundation, a member of the National Speakers Association, an author, a Talk Show Radio Host, and has served on as Trustee on numerous corporate, healthcare
and education boards. Additionally, she is the recipient of the Woman Entrepreneur Award by the Women’s Business Center. Reneé is a Founder and Past President of the Northwest Minnesota Women’s Fund.
Reneé is wife to Tom and mother to Alexander, Elizabeth and Grace. When Reneé is not out speaking, she is chasing volleyballs, bas-ketballs, and golf balls with her children. She is an avid outdoor enthusiast and when home can be found horseback riding, kayaking or working in her vineyard and gardens. Reneé is a keen observer of life and sees every moment as a time to gather material for her keynotes. Her many friends, three children, and positively 100% Norwegian husband, provide her with more than ample laugh-out-loud moments to pass on to her audiences.
Reneé Rongen: Life’s Your Legacy…Live IT!
