Bpost CEO Chris Peeters still feels the impact of bullying: "Speaking in front of a large audience remains a challenge"

Chris Peeters, CEO of Bpost, shares his struggles with public speaking stemming from childhood bullying due to his birthmark. Despite his success, he finds speaking in front of large audiences challenging, often recalling his past experiences of being judged. Peeters underwent communication training to improve his skills, acknowledging that he was not naturally confident in presentations. His birthmark, a vascular condition, led to bullying and a sense of being treated differently throughout his youth. He reflects on the importance of his supportive family and the lessons learned from his experiences, ultimately embracing his identity and the impact of his past on his present.
