Progress Chart
Curriculum The curriculum is constantly evolving as we receive feedback from the students and endeavor to fine tuned it to better serve the goal of personal empowerment. Here is the current list of books for Levels One & Two. Level One
Level Two
Level Three is a comprehensive life assessment which helps the student to see where he is in life at this point and the decisions he made in the past to bring him to this point. Based on this, the student is assisted through a process of determining where he wants to go in life and what it will take to get there, followed by goal setting and creating an action plan. Levels Four Through Six: In each of these three levels a student may choose seven books from a selection of more than 400 books in 17 different study tracts. Level Seven is designed to help the student become financially empowered. Details on this and the other study levels are spelled out more specifically at the website. Mentorship
Financial The first section includes the total expenses of IIGL for 2007. This includes the actual expenses of each of the three divisions plus the international administrative costs. Line item expenses for the English Division are not accounted for separately because they often cover both the English division and administrative costs for the international division. However, when the expenses for the Spanish & French division are subtracted from the total, the balance – which was the expense for the English division and administrative costs for the international division – was $38,041.48. We received a total of 76 contributions from 45 individuals in 2007 totaling $71,844.50. Our contributors were from the USA, the UK, Israel, Nigeria, Canada, Egypt & Thailand. 2007 Financial Statement (IIGL 2007 Financial Statement - PDF Version)
Organizational Board of Directors We currently have seven voting board members. They are from the USA, the UK and Nigeria. Two of the voting board members are also IIGL students. In addition to our voting members we have 17 non-voting members of the board from Côte d’Ivoire, Jordan, Egypt, the USA, the UK and Venezuela. Most decisions of a non-legal nature are considered by the full board; voting and non-voting. Advisory Council Each financial contributor and each active student are a part of our Advisory Council. The role of the advisory council is to give us feed back decisions that we are considering related to policy changes, new features, etc. Endowment Fund Thanks to the generosity of two donors who contributed a total of $25,000 in 2007, IIGl has established an Endowment Fund. It is our intention to add to this annually with designated contributions and possible bequeaths which will allow it to eventually become a significant source of funds for the IIGL operating budget. Qualitative Report What Our Students Are Saying Unsolicited comments from students… I learn from this book (Giant Steps) that we all have a dreams and all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we have to make a difference, that we can as well touch others in a special way and make the world a better place. But when I looked at the whole thing vividly I thank the IIGL founders for their dreams of destiny, because it is really transform millions of people most especially in African as whole. If not for this program I won’t have gotten any knowledge at all, but with all this I have gotten so much experience through most of the inspirational books and it has really transform my thinking. - James Adanigbo (Nigeria) Wow, my life is going through a transformation as I read each book. I am not only learning the secrets to character transformation, but am I also in the process of being uplifted till I reach the state where everything is attainable. Paa Kwesi Inkumsah (Ghana) I'm thoroughly enjoying, not just the reading, but the 'practicals' as well. I've adopted the 'C.A.N.C.E.L Formula' from Psycho-cybernetics, and I am quite conscious there are mental cobwebs, and that I need always to replace Negative mental attitudes (NMA) with Positive Mental Attitudes (PMA). These concepts are powerful, useful and certainly fruitful...That is why I believe that IIGL is certainly one of the best things that has happened to me. I'm going through transformation...it's amazing. Talent Jumo (Zimbabwe) As I have said before, IIGL is my last hope to realise my educational dreams. I am suffering too much. I want to do everything as quick as possiple. I need now your consistent assistance with all your possibilities to reach my goals. - Davui kosi sepénou (Togo) We also both shared ideas on the movie we watched called “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne (www.thesecret.tv) that was a really fantastic movie…even though most of the ideas are exactly what we are being taught at IIGL…it was really easy understanding more of those principles through that movie. Mark Mazadu (Nigeria) I would like to update you on the progress that I’m making with my goals. First, I thank God for enabling me to know what it means to write goals especially through your help. I know God knew He had a great mission for me to accomplish and that’s why He had to prepare me through IIGL. Sometimes I tend to think this institute was formed under God’s divine plan just because of me. Had it not been for the dynamic books that I have read form IIGL, I think I would still be lying dormant wasting my precious time. - Linquist Asiebela (Kenya) These IIGL books have really be opening my mind. Because they do not promote political or religious dogmas, they can be understood and used by any person in the world without feeling their culture is being threatened, this makes most of the books we read very useful. Liliana Arbelaez, (Colombia) Let me tell you that I am fascinated with reading the book Real Magic, I feel that it is transforming my life. The leadership institute has been a teacher in the perfect moment for me. From morning to night I reflect, analyze and practice what I’ve learned from life, the air, the rain, my children and the people around me. Becoming a prepared student makes life prettier and more interesting, it is a constant and wonderful learning process” Diana Guerrero, (Colombia) Thank you so much for the beautiful books sent to me. I am thrilled. IIGL indeed is a great thing that is happening to many and most especially myself. It is not just for the books but for the blessedness of the impartation that one is receiving from the studying of the books. The books contain something like fire. It burns voraciously the chaff in the inner man. I am sure that by the time I am through, I must have become a completely different person. Right now, the books are really impacting my life and thereby increasing me tremendously. I appreciate IIGL and every one who have contributed in one way or the other to make this a reality. Oh! how wonderful it is to have a vision and much more to pursue it. Joseph, Moses Ayodele (Nigeria) I think at this point I can practically reach the moon. Really, it feels possible. It really isn't far fetched because I see myself walking into a realm of great achievement and enormous success in every sphere of my endeavor. This experience is like taking a swimming class, am sure you all know that swimming is the best cardio vascular exercise and it seeks to work every part of our bodies? Yeah, this is the same feeling I am having from each experience I have with my IIGL studies. It's called a complete total transformation of the way I think and react to situations. Paa Kwesi Inkumsah (Ghana) We are on course to reaching great heights with IIGL I have no single doubt. It is such a wonderful thing what IIGL is doing to bring people together irrespective of the background. I am proud to be associated with IIGL. I can now see that truly the Internet has made the whole world a global village where we all can see, feel and relate with one another without any frontier. Joseph Moses Ayodele (Nigeria) I am lover of good books, I look into books to enrich my depth of knowledge and I glean counsel for a better life from good materials; but a remarkable thing that happened to me while reading this book was that I discovered that reading a book cannot make me free or heal my hurts and quench my desires. It can only provide me the understanding of what is holding me back and suggest ways out of it. The knowledge that supports freedom is a personal discovery of solutions. Fadugba Olumuyiwa Akinrole (Nigeria) I cannot deny the great impact caused by IIGL in my life. I'm not saying this to please anyone. This is not flattery. Time and again I normally confess that the great help I have received through these studies have contributed a lot to getting me in motion. Sometimes you can know what to do but you don't know when, where and how to start. It's like the studies in this curriculum came and got hold of my hands, dragged me out of my comfortable zone and placed me in a dangerous yet exciting position where by you must take action, if not, you're in risk of falling, and if you act you minimize the risk and increase the possibility of getting to the better side. Thus whichever way, something must happen. Linquist Asiebela (Kenya) Before all, I want to thank the Institute for having given me the chance to belong to the program. Since I am a part of it I feel very pleased and maybe more important, I have grown from reading each of the books. When I was a teenager I had a tendency to being a natural leader, my mother would say that by opening my mouth a bunch of fools would follow me. Now since I am studying in the Leadership Institute this has been growing strong and developing every day, to achieve many of the things I have in mind at present and one of them has almost come true because of you. I have been preparing myself during the past year to become a teacher of Higher Knowledge and this month, once more because of the preparation I’ve had with you, I will start with my first lecture. The fear and the doubts I had at first have disappeared and because of this book I have overcome certain doubts. How good it would be for a great part of the population to be studying here so we can reach the critical mass in the Venezuelan and World population, so that they could change the concept of failure as something bad and accept it as a springboard to success in life. Mayra Blanco (Venezuela) I wish I had words good enough to explain the level of confidence this book, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, has given me about the future. I have found out that it is my fault if I do not succeed, because success is very much within my reach. A lot of things in it have come to confirm that my instincts have not misled me after all. I have always wanted to live a full purposeful life and not the rather popular live-by-the-moment idea that was pushed into my mind by society. This book has challenged me to listen to my heart and to be very selective about the opinions of people about me or what I do. They may be right sometimes, but the truth is, my heart is never going to be wrong. I have learned, among other things, that I do not need faith to succeed in my field of endeavor. I just have to understand the principles that govern such areas of life. If I can dream it, I can also achieve it. Jonathan became perfect at flying because he first of all could dream about flying. Every huge accomplishment starts with a dream. Dreaming is risky business. Following your dreams is worse. You risk being cast out. You lose friends and sometimes family. You are scorned and made to feel insignificant. Then comes the day when that which you 'saw' alone in your mind's eye becomes manifest for all to see. On that day, you get to be hailed, praised and liked as though nothing ever went wrong. Success, it is said, attracts. Failure, of the truth, is an orphan. Gottfried Duku (Ghana) I believe that in the past few years I discovered that life goes beyond what is material, I’ve been searching for answers and in accordance with the law of synchronicity I’ve met people and organizations as the institute for global leadership, that contribute in the process of transformation I want for my life. This book, the Power Of A Positive Mental Attitude, as well as the others that are part of the institute’s curricula have been showing me the way with new ideas that I can use to transform myself as best as possible. Positive thinking, visualization, keeping myself tuned in with the abundance are now a part of my life” Christian Villón (Peru) This book, As A Man Thinketh, has made me see my life from a different perspective and has completely revolutionized the concept I have of my own life. Allen's book is a challenge, it has changed the way I think and of seeing life as well as the circumstances I am living with true tolerance, the respect for the ideas and beliefs that each person has and each one of us is responsible for our own circumstances. Luis Cutiva (Colombia) I thank God and the universe for having the Institute in my life in a key moment, as it is an instrument in the freeing process I am living. I congratulate you for such a beautiful work. We need more people like you who love humanity. Diana Guerrero (Colombia) It is either you understand what good leadership is or not. There is no sitting on the fence about it. Quite often and most unfortunately too, what we see around is leaderships that gives only obligations without opportunities. Leadership by mouth and ego. Thanks to God for this type of an institute that is bringing this type of avenue for knowledge and development where many youths or people will get to know what their rights are and how to take them all. Moses Ayodele (Nigeria) I want to use this opportunity to thank you for the services of IIGL. I am so delightful to be a part of this global family. I also want to use this opportunity to thank the sponsors for doing this, they do not know me and yet I can feel their impact on my life. I am full of happiness and joy. Thank you very very much Longe Opeyemi Dotum (Nigeria) The way I had been seeing myself changed as I read Psycho Cybernetics 2000. I had a different picture of what success was to me and my personal life as a being. Seeing success as an acronym lead to me thinking of one having a sense of direction, understanding, having courage, self esteem and self confidence. The way that society sees itself does not have to be a gloomy picture for yourself as this may be a limiting factor for one | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
