Monsurat: How has the Empowerment Workshop assisted you in your own life?

Adeola: It gave me a foundation of self-trust that I needed to co-create my business; Women to Women. I have no idea how I would have believed I could do this without the reinforcement of the empowerment model. I actually don't know how people go through their lives without knowing these principles of how the universe works. Otherwise you are a boat without a rudder.”

"It is very easy to tell people, ‘Be strong, you are beautiful, you are capable, don’t do this, do that, don’t worry about that, who cares what others think', etc. What is missing is the idea of instilling worth. How do we raise a child to feel he /she is worthy — worthy of good friends, worthy of healthy relationships, worthy of speaking his/her mind and of being heard, worthy of his/her dreams, worthy of trying something nobody else has done?"

"If someone doesn’t feel worthy, they might do something they don’t really want to do, because they don’t have the courage or strength to say so. They may be coming from a place of fear rather than a place of personal love, respect and power."

"The Top Success Training Institute teaches people that they are valuable and have a voice, by giving them information and tools to use. When child feel confident about their bodies, their intelligence, their worthiness and their sexuality, they have the opportunity to go into the world and fully express themselves — as men, as women, as humans. If we spend too much time having conversations with ourselves about not being good enough, pretty enough, sexy enough or accepted enough, we are limiting ourselves to what we think the world thinks of us, rather than putting forth what we think of ourselves, what we find important, what we want to contribute to the world."

"Everyone has something important to share, and if that beautiful energy is wasted, then the world never gets to see it, and a child misses out on what it feels like to be strong, free, worthy and capable."

"The Mission of Top Success Training Institute is to educate, empower and inspire people by raising awareness, developing communication skills and cultivating self respect."

A Brief History of Top Success Training Institute

In 2015, Ibraheem Monsurat Oluwatoyin founded this empowerment institute to explore the question: how do you empower people to grow and realize their full potential? She wanted to shift the focus from fixing problems and healing the past, to focusing on what we want for our lives, our organizations, our communities, and our world – and how to achieve it. Enabling people to envision and realize their dreams was the approach they called “empowerment.” The term “empowerment” was new in the vernacular of transformation, as was her approach. This transitional social innovation soon began attracting attention. People came to learn about empowerment for themselves, their communities, their organizations and their causes. They came from different places all over the state. They included social entrepreneurs, community organizers and environmentalists; Fortune 500 corporate leaders, organizational change consultants and business school professors; life coaches, health-care professionals, therapists, educators, and personal development trainers; non-profit managers, government executives and politicians; young and old, male and female, and embodying every race and ethnicity. Over the years what evolved was an extraordinary learning community – a nationwide empowerment laboratory to help refine their methodology and explore its breadth of application in society. Monsurat is planning her best, putting all resources to great use in a bid to empower the youth of the society. Monsurat has become a master practitioner of empowerment. Monsurat continued to evolve her empowerment work by adapting the model and methodology to other initiatives, she has organized several empowerment seminars across the country. It was an extraordinary confirmation of the efficacy of the empowerment methodology. Building on this growing body of knowledge and experience, Monsurat began applying her empowerment expertise to large organizations and cities. Based on this, Monsurat has trained many people and groups from different places, such as:

• DEPARTMENT OF AGRIC EXTENSION OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY ILE IFE,OSUN STATE. 

• BAPTIST CHURCH ILARE, ILE IFE,OSUN STATE. 

• DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE OBAFEMI AWOLOWO UNIVERSITY ILE IFE, OSUN STATE.
