HR.com has confirmed that Michel Chikwanine, Former Child Soldier, Author, Humanitarian, will join the roster of speakers at LEAD2018 in Salt Lake City on February 7th.
Born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Michel grew up amid the terror of the Great War of Africa. He witnessed the torture of his father, who was singled out for his political beliefs, the rape of his mother, and endured torture of his own as a forced child soldier. Much of Michel’s childhood was ravaged by the death and decay of a war that claimed the lives of 5.8 million people.
“Now a university student, Michel shares his personal story leaving audiences with a new perspective on life, a sense of hope through social responsibility and a desire for change. Attendees at LEAD2018 will find inspiration in hearing Michel’s unforgettable message,” shared Debbie McGrath, CEO and Chief Instigator, HR.com.
