improve the way they deal with
customers.

discussion. And kept me motivated to
be a more competent professional. An
excellent trainer. Highly
recommended!

the Innovation seminar, everything
around me seems to be different.
I certainly have a much WIDER MIND
now!!! Thank you!

Luxury is very often wrongly defined
I’m thrilled to watch a video that
explains it so well. Bravo again!
Should you speak at conferences
in Paris, I´ll be delighted to go and
listen to your talks.
Ellie Abihssira, Manager at Société
Immobilière et de Financement, Paris
I have watched some of your videos
and I must say it has been inspiring
and I have learned a lot. Thank you for

and at the same time praised (in
your video) the concept of Luxury.

sophistication (Steve Jobs). It takes
a lot of work for something to look
easy.
Mauricio Inglada, General Manager at
Porcelanosa, Spain
Excellent video, Antonio.
Congratulations! Your work really has
a luxury touch. I am honoured to be
part of your network and will be

Antonio, as a storyteller, I love luxury…
… telling stories is luxurious. Your video
inspired and waxed me poetic :) You
taught so much about business here -
relationships in business; intimacy,
letting people into your life to add
reality to your product; the value of
excellent storytelling to draw
customers to your service. Awesome!
Her Royal Highness
Princess Carroll Ayo Durodola of Nigeria

impossible. But now, I really look at
everything around me, in a
different way.

you know how to address the topics.
