Testimonials

Entrepreneurship is an area that I was tremendously influenced by. Previously, the fear of failure was always something that held me back from pursuing my dreams. From the training I receivedout making them feeling discouraged. Ultimately, it is his oratory prowess, professional yet with a personal touch, perfected into a sublime concoction, which proves so effective in leading many others, like myself, to achieve our high, I learned to overcome that fear by placing my self-worth on something greater than achievements, circumstances or people. Doing so has liberated me to explore new opportunities and endeavors that I never believe was possible.

Seth has been mentoring me to be a better communicator in the way I interact with others. He helped me to realise how much difference it would make if I were able to effectively deliver my ideas to people. He also guided me from time to time to come up with specific next steps, so that I would always have clear direction in my personal growth. All of these have led me to grow significantly in my professional skill over the past year so that I am now empowered to create bigger impact to people in my workplace and community.

Globalplex has helped me to develop one of most important skills I need to lead my team - communication. I've benefited from learning verbal and written communication, along with the critical thinking that is necessary to know the most effective timing, emphasis, and structure of how to communicate. This has helped me to navigate the complexities of a large organization and motivate the team I work with day to day.

The principles and concepts taught by Dr. Seth Kim at Globalplex are enriching and transforming. Over the years, I have applied many of them to different spheres of my life - character development, professional occupation, leadership skills, family life, lay ministry, relationships, education - and I have grown into a more effective and influential person as a result.

Seth has taught me how to be a leader in the workplace. He is a leader who practices what he preaches, and the authenticity of his teachings comes to life through him living it out. I was able to carry many of his lessons on leadership into my workplace, and it has helped me to excel. He has taught me how to build my emotional intelligence and awareness for my interpersonal relationships, which has positively impacted my life.

One Leadership/Character trait that Seth has facilitated in me over the years is being true to who I am and standing firm for what I believe. Stretching oneself towards a goal is the crucible for one's development. Seth enables has helped me learn that lesson through successes and failures by keeping focus of the end goal.

It's difficult for me to overstate the impact that Seth Kim has on my life both professionally and personally. Through my formative years in graduate school, Seth was a mentor, teacher, and friend and through his investment in my life, I grew to be a leader. I believe one of the greatest attributes of a leader is that success is measured by whom you impact. As a professor, sometimes this impact is obscured because our greatest legacy is our students and their imprint on the world. That my role is to serve my students so that they would surpass me almost seems counterintuitive, yet I find that it motivates me to faithfulness and diligence.

Seth has consistently emphasized and demonstrated leadership that is driven by purpose, principles, and people. Through his mentorship, he has sought to elevate my potential by helping me identify my core motives and challenged my weaknesses and inconsistencies. And by pinpointing areas of growth and achievable next steps, Seth has helped me grow in my self-awareness and become a leader who is developing others.

One of the biggest lessons in the past few years working with Seth was to adopt the growth mindset. While everyone has strengths and weaknesses, I tend to magnify my shortcomings and linger in my failures. Seth, again and again, encourages me to accept my areas of growth and provides me with tangible next steps to see small wins in the process. Have I ever thought of giving up? Yes, I have. Nonetheless, I have also learned to persevere and have grit in the journey to change.

Before I was exposed to the Global Plex curriculum, I've always thought that onboarding people to a vision is a leader's most important and difficult duty. However, after a year under GPlex's training, I realized that leadership is mostly about growing the people in our organization and meeting them where they are at so they too can pass down the vision. One training session about creating and capitalizing on teaching moments really inspired me. We were given principles on how to help people process character-exposing moments in their lives and make next steps to improve. I learned to apply this in a recycling initiative my peers and I started in our Architecture Department at university.

Seth is a HIIT coach for the character - he is always maximizing on teaching moments that he observes on the spot in different situations. He helps the learner to understand why we do what we do and addresses our deeper motivations in order to excel and move forward.

Seth has always been a great mentor since I started my career as a university graduate, especially when I switched from being a journalist to a wealth management advisor two years ago. It was not easy to be in an industry that I did not study for, which at the same time, was highly competitive. Seth showed me the importance of 'do things differently', which even if I am younger compared to my coworker, I was able to leave memorable impressions to my clients. Also, he always focused on 'the growth mindset' which keeps me motivated for a longer and greater vision instead of short-term achievements.
