When the board member takes his place in the shoe-shining chair...?

A gala dinner will bring together nearly 200 international guests of honor. The opening speech is announced. The board member responsible for sales and marketing at Scandinavian Tobacco Group is called to the stage. And where is the speaker? Not backstage—but serenely seated in my shoe-shining chair.

At that precise moment, Régis Broersma displayed the true composure of a gentleman. "Take your time, finish your work," he reassured me, while I treated his brown shoes with the finest waxes before polishing them to a brilliant shine with my cashmere brushes.

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he shared this anecdote with the curious guests at the Dortmund gala, introducing me as the only professional and officially certified shoeshiner in Belgium. What followed was a brilliant evening: business partners from Martinique to Ukraine and Japan took turns in my chair—sharing not only their shoes, but also fascinating personal stories.

What I take away from this evening: regardless of the scale of the event or the level of responsibility within the company, true craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a moment of suspended luxury are appreciated worldwide. A huge thank you to Mr. Broersma for his trust and this unforgettable experience!
