That moment led him back to what was essential: his family, and his passion for teaching, preparing, and empowering young people. Cedric doesn’t believe in work-life balance—only in life. A life he now chooses to live, aligned with his values. By adapting his passion to his current reality, Cedric is making a deep and lasting impact on everyone around him.
