About
A life rebuilt from nothing more than once.
Armand Kadima is a keynote speaker, author, and fractional CFO. His life has been rebuilt more than once — through war, exile, loss, and the death of his wife three days after their second set of twins, his seventh and eighth children, were born.
He speaks about what human beings are actually built for: resilience in the face of grief, leadership forged under pressure, and the urgent work around maternal health that his own loss made impossible to ignore.
In his words
Transparency births an authentic life.

Focusing on your past only re-creates it. Focus on NOW and the future you are creating henceforth.

Self esteem in its true essence is not circumstantial.

These things are not happening to me, they are happening for me.
