Four weeks ago, we opened the doors of DREAM Academy.

Just in case you don’t know what DREAM Academy is, I’d tell you.

D.R.E.A.M Academy is a personal and professional development academy that teaches you how to fulfill your DREAMS by leveraging relevant information and creative strategies.

D.R.E.A.M is an acronym for Developing Reformers, Entrepreneurs, Advocates and Managers and our mission is to groom a new generation of leaders who will create positive transformation in their own lives and subsequently in the socio-economic sphere of their Nations.

God planted the idea in my mind over three years ago but I’m glad it came to fruition last month. We called the first session of the Academy, “THE PIONEERS”.

It was an experience which many of us will never forget.

We had five days of practical wisdom, cutting edge strategies, thought-provoking discussions, team tasks, networking and indescribable yet pure fun.

Also, just like I had promised, the BEST TRAINEE went home with a BRAND NEW iPad 2. We had an extraordinary time learning from one another and from our EXTRAORDINARY facilitators who gave us much more than we bargained for.

Testimonies are still pouring in and I’d share some of them with you some other time.
My heart is filled with joy because I know that several lives have been positively transformed and their results
with speak for them over the coming days and years.

If you were one of “THE PIONEERS” who attended the first season of DREAM Academy, I’m saying a heartfelt
“THANK YOU”. God bless you beyond your wildest dreams.

If you were not at DREAM Academy, I wish you were. I hate to say this especially because I don’t like it when people
say it to me but you missed. Not to worry anyway because we recorded EVERY TEACHING SESSION and we have them in Mp3
and Mp4 formats. You’d really love them. The good thing is that you can PAUSE, REWIND, FAST-FORWARD and PLAY
all AT YOUR OWN PACE.

Even if you were there, you will still learn a lot more when you watch the videos or listen to the audio.

If you are interested in getting copies, just indicate by leaving a comment in the box below. Also, fill in
your email so that we can get in touch with you.

Stay on top and whatever you do, remember to LIVE YOUR DREAMS.

I’m sure you are wondering what will happen a month from now.

Don’t read this except you have a dream.

I mean every word of it.

I would not want you to feel like you wasted your time after reading this.

This is specially designed for dreamers who want to become achievers.

I have spent the last couple of years thinking about ways to help people translate their abstract ideas to concrete projects.

While it is important to plan carefully, I also realize that you must not become a victim of the paralysis of analysis.

I have decided to take my quest further by setting up a comprehensive training course for people who want to fulfill their dreams.

It’s called DREAM Academy.

Developing

Reformers

Entrepreneurs

Advocates and

Managers.

Finally, we have an institution that teaches you how to live your dreams.

With the incredible transformations going on in our socio-economic climes, it has become abundantly clear that talent, academic degrees and certificates alone will not put you ahead of the teeming population of job-seekers, budding entrepreneurs and aspiring reformers.

More than ever, life skills are in high demand.There is an undeniable revolution that stipulates that anyone who must forge ahead and leave a lasting impression in the annals of history must invest ample time, energy and financial resources in DISCOVERING, DEVELOPING and DEPLOYING their inherent GIFTS.

Unfortunately, the traditional academic institutions often revolve around obsolete techniques and axioms that have no real life application thus they fail to furnish students with the necessary qualities required to live up to their true potential.

This leaves a gaping hole in the fabric of our society.

D.R.E.A.M Academy aims to proffer practical solutions to this challenge.

Our CURRICULUM is rich and relevant.

The sessions commence on February 5, 2011 and run through February 26, 2011.

You cannot afford to miss it.
