Our Pillars

“Since I serve in finance, I have come to understand that leadership is stewardship with solid character. I am grateful for my coaches and the practical nature of the lessons, not only to demonstrate excellence in this field but also to lead others who will in turn lead others, hence forming a chain of excellent finance (resource) stewards.”

“I now see that the privilege of leading others has a correlation with one’s ability to lead self. The reality of knowing my own God-given strengths, weaknesses, and my personal style of leadership has made me see the necessity of diversity in a team leadership context. This has been a big help to the team of student leaders I work with in Zimbabwe.”

“I have seen myself in a new way to appreciate my uniqueness as a person and as a leader. Knowing that I am unique has encouraged me to develop my strengths and recognise my weaknesses. My passion for what God has called me to do has been renewed in a way that is rewarding and inspiring. I have developed new habits that are helping me to be more effective.”

“GITL has impacted my life significantly! It has shown me gaps in my leadership ability and my capacity to meet the demands of this season of work and study. It has provided practical help (philosophically, structurally, and motivationally) to bridge these gaps.
I have also appreciated sitting at the feet of different facilitators who have a wealth of experience, knowledge, and cultural insight from teaching students all over the globe. These instructors are able to identify with the experiences, hopes, and challenges of their students. This impressed me because in my experienceI have seen a power gap between teacher and student. Truly these instructors are servant leaders, working to lift up students to the capacity that God intended."

GiTL impacted my life in self-awareness, through the use of various assessments. This appreciation helps me maintain a healthy others-awareness as I work with my team and as I partner with different organizations. in addition, this program equipped and enabled me to see the importance of my personal calling, vision, mission, and core values."

GITL has equipped me to become a transformational leadership practitioner in my nation making changes where necessary;
I have grown in building a network of key national leaders in government, business, civil organizations, and the church. This program equipped me to initiate continuous growth in resource mobilization for the fulfillment of organizational goals and community empowerment.

"GITL has helped me to define my life purpose and mission as a result of self awareness, practical training and exposure. I am now able to draw and implement my personal development plan that has enhanced my career and family growth. As a leader, I am aware of my spiritual gifts, personal strengths and weaknesses as I work with the people in a team and organizational setting. GITL redefined leadership for me as Stewardship of Mission, Self, People and Resources. As a result, I am a better leader and family man today.”

My GITL experience helped me to understand who I am in Christ. It gave me the right perspective to understand the process of growing as a leader and what it takes to maintain a loving relationship with God while leading others. GITL challenged me to rethink existing leadership practices and become innovative in addressing problems. The professors inspire me. I am contributing my part by coaching senior organizational leaders on digital transformation, and helping them develop digital skills for effective strategy execution. I am very thankful for the GITL experience.”
