Charity for Change will host a free webinar on character and leadership with well-known international speaker and leadership expert Alex Havard, May 28 at 8:30 a.m. Havard will show how building good character is a life-long project that helps people achieve their personal best and become great leaders.
Havard is the founder of the Virtuous Leadership System. He was born and raised in Paris and is a graduate of one of France’s leading law schools, Paris Descartes University. He worked as a lawyer in Paris, Strasbourg, and Helsinki for many years before discovering his mission to ignite hearts for greatness and work to raise up a new generation of Virtuous Leaders. His books “Virtuous Leadership,” “Created for Greatness” and “From Temperament to Character” have been translated into 20 languages. Havard cofounded 10 Virtuous Leadership Institutes around the world.
“This subject is near and dear to our hearts at Charity for Change because we combat isolation, bullying and violence by educating our youngest school-age children in values that make up good character,” said Michael Dana, event chair and board member of Charity for Change.
The webinar is free, but donations are welcome. To register for the webinar, click here or visit CharityforChange.org.
