What's the Secret to Success?

Discovering and crafting your gift and sharing it passionately with greatness! In our How to Create a Great Career workshop, we teach people how to build great careers from their innate qualities; not from skills they’ve learned to make a living, but from their God-given gifts to make a life.

During the workshop, we demonstrate how people like Serena and Venus Williams, Tiger Woods, and Michael Jordan were able to get corporate sponsorships because of their ‘greatness’ in their respective sports, not because they had good marketing skills to promote Nike, Hanes, or Buick.

God created us to succeed so others can experience Him through our work. And, He cannot accomplish this through people that know how to wear or drive success; but through people that are willing and spiritually fit to do the work He has called us to do.

Success is a divine right. Don’t allow the definitions or opinions of others hold yours hostage.

Don't Knock it Until You've Tried It - Online Learning

Online training is helping millions of people all over the world get their long-awaited undergraduate or graduate degrees, launch and expand businesses, and gain skills to advance their careers. Then there are millions that haven’t taken advantage of this learning trend because of their preference of in-person training – concluding this training method is more legitimate when you can touch and feel your instructor or facilitator than hearing or watching using online media.

The SOFEI Group, Inc. has become perplexed of the apprehension towards online learning from people who have never tried it. And, as a training provider, we believe training is as legitimate of the trainees’ learning and development needs. Here’s our take on the benefits of online learning:

  • It’s a cost savings for trainees and the environment (e.g., less paper trail associated with traditional training methods)
  • It’s flexible and great for working parents with children
  • It’s an egalitarian way to acquire skills and enhance knowledge
  • Individuals currently serving in the military can take online classes while serving their country
  • Individuals can take online courses from institutions worldwide
  • Courses not offered at local colleges or universities can be accessed online
  • Employees can participate in online seminars and classes without missing time from work
  • Business owners can grow their business when they increase their business skills through online learning
E-learning is an effective and powerful method to engage in life-long learning and it has gained momentum on face-to-face instruction. Before knocking online training, explore the many online training opportunities designed to meet your training and development needs. A good place to start is with SOFEI Online.
