I am presently over-whelmed by the knowledge I have acquired from the training. With God on my side, I will definitely put a lot of what I have learnt into practice. As we are currently re-strategizing and restructuring in our organisation, I will make sure discipline is imbibed in everything we do. Financial discipline and avoiding sentiments are areas that be worked on. My administrative staff will definitely attend DLA. I look forward to attend the advanced program in July.

I did not really know the intensity of the DLA and thought it was just “another leadership” course. But during the DLA, I got the most important thing I needed and that is the practical aspect of the DLA. After DLA, I intend to stay connected to DLA and would love to have DLA come to my country Cameroon and other French speaking countries around us.

Hmmm…There is just so much I can say but in summary, I will say DLA has helped me to stay positive. It is one thing to have a positive mind set and it’s another to stay positive. My perception to life has changed drastically and now, I am able to think and see things like my husband who attended DLA some years back. After the second day, I told my husband “Darling, Please prepare. We must attend Advanced DLA in July”.

My mind-set/mentality has been positively impacted. All the courses came as a revelation and ideas/inspired thought on what next step to take concerning my assignment was revealed. Specific action plans was revealed during the classes to be acted upon arrival at my ministry post from the next day (Saturday). I am greatly inspired and fired up the more to add value to people’s lives.

When I enrolled into the DLA Basic Certificate Course, sincerely I had no idea what I was coming for; I had given my CV to friend who happens to be a manger in the Academy to assist me in securing a job. But instead of looking for a job for me, he told me to attend the program. He even paid for the course so I agreed to attend the program. Little did I know that God was preparing me for the jobs ahead of me.

I got a job in a company where the MD was hard on me, but the day I got another job, and decided to leave, he begged me, tripled my salary and told me to train his staff, which I did before I left.

In my present job I have broken the company record for the twelfth time, hitting above target.

Early this year, I was promoted for the third time within one year, and I have been promoted again! Since I joined the Organization, not less than eight people have been sacked, but I kept getting promotions

I thank God for DLA and Pastor Sam, I have learnt to walk slowly, building confidence in my pace and portraying the highest degree of humility like you do. To my friend, meeting you changed my destiny. May God make you meet a destiny changer for good. To all the staff in the Academy – keep up the good work!

God bless you.
