From the humblest position to the top? Richard’son Jean-Baptiste has made it not only a reality but also a book, available in French and English at Livres en Folie, on June 4, 2026, at El Rancho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are paths that shake certainties. The trajectory of Richard’son Jean-Baptiste is one of them. Born prematurely, he grew up in adversity, mockery, financial hardships, betrayals, and five medical interventions. So many trials that could have frozen a life. But stone subjected to the pressure of time and circumstances can reveal a diamond. As his mother says in the book, “It takes 20 years to make a man.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is in the aftermath of the earthquake on January 12, 2010, that this journey takes a decisive turn. Richard’son joins an embassy and there meets the person who will become his compass: a man who sees in this young man with big dreams a potential not to be wasted. He will teach him to avoid complacency, lack of firmness, and conformity, because sometimes, “our own hesitation can be the cause of our difficulties.” A lesson that resonates as a turning point in the author’s life.Hired as a janitor, Richard’son climbed the ranks, with discipline, social intelligence, and courage, until he was supervising a team of over forty employees as a manager. A rise that owes nothing to chance and everything to self-work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
