Group 2
Youth, Reflection & Intentional Development
“In the Thrive program I really enjoyed exploring how we can glorify the kingdom of heaven through expressing ourselves and defending ourselves from Satan using our gifts and talents. I learnt how to discover my personal gifts and talents and how to defend myself against the enemy, and it helped me tremendously in my life and journey with God to this day.”

Youth & Reflection
“Thrive was an incredibly beneficial program for our church. We gained a new perspective on our faith and developed a more nuanced understanding of how our spirituality can shape and help us thrive in every aspect of our lives. The teachings resonated deeply with me and challenged me to hold myself accountable in certain areas of my life. The lessons were delivered by Shady, an incredibly experienced and knowledgeable teacher who knows how to consistently engage his audience and always leaves them wanting to learn more. I would definitely recommend Thrive to anyone seeking guidance, whether spiritually or in other areas of life.”

Youth & Reflection
“Something I really enjoyed about Thrive was how it encouraged me to be more consistent in spending time with God and being spiritually fed. It gave me opportunities to learn about my faith while also making me think more deeply about different things. I enjoyed being able to reflect on what I had learnt and apply it to my life. Overall, Thrive really helped me become more intentional with my relationship with God and how I can bring this light into the world.”

Workplace & Team Impact
“I recently completed a training program with Knowend, and it truly made a difference for me. What stood out the most was how practical the sessions were rather than just covering theory. The trainer, Mr. Mina, used real, relevant examples that we could apply straight away in our daily work. The training was well structured, easy to follow, and delivered in a clear, professional manner from start to finish. The impact on our business has been noticeable — after the training I became more confident, communicated better, and solved problems more effectively. I would highly recommend Knowend to any business looking to strengthen their team’s skills and overall performance.”

Workplace
“I had the opportunity to participate in a team-building training with Knowend, run by Shady, and it was an amazing training. I learnt a lot about team building, achieving goals, teamwork and commitment. The training was straight to the point, very valuable and useful. Everyone interacted with everyone, and the handouts at the end were very relevant to the topics covered. I won’t hesitate a second to attend future trainings with Knowend.”
