Webinar Session
In April of 2020, Désiré received the devastating diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. Overcoming immense challenges, he persevered through two rounds of grueling chemotherapy and endured four surgeries. In 2023, Désiré shared his journey with cancer at the district 91 International speech contest and finished second.
This time to reflect on how the art of speech writing and delivery has become an integral part of his ongoing healing process. He is looking to articulate a powerful narrative, illustrating the symbiotic relationship between embracing medical procedures with positivity, journalling his experiences, delivering impactful speeches, and embracing constructive feedback. Through this virtuous cycle, Désiré remains proactive, motivated, and resilient in the face of daunting medical obstacles.
