Founder Of EEK! Will Speak To You On 18 April

Michael Mans-Combrinck, EEK! Founder
Michael Mans-Combrinck (he always says “just call me Michael”!) will be our guest on Monday 18 April. Michael is the founder of the e-magazine EEK! (Expats Express Kuwait). 

Michael arrived in Kuwait in 1999 with his family and three suitcases. He says he soon experienced varying levels of “emotional trauma” that many expats experience after they arrive in Kuwait. But instead of depression, Michael saw opportunity! 

Qualified in Industrial Psychology, and with an MBA (major in marketing), he launched an expats 
advisory help desk about six years ago, and EEK! is a result of that initiative. Now in its fifth year of circulation, EEK! has seen subscriptions grow by more than 33% in just the last four months. Michael is very clear that EEK! is not an online magazine, but an e-magazine. What is the difference? You'll find out when Michael visits our classroom!
