The EAGLESonline organization was inspired by the personal vision, leadership, and drive of one notable person:
SAMUEL KORANTENG-PIPIM, PHD.
(Founder and Executive Director)
Samuel Koranteng Pipim, PhD is a US-based Ghanaian author, inspirational speaker, leadership trainer, and advocate for youth empowerment. He is also an executive & personal growth coach and theologian. He was trained in engineering and systematic theology. He promotes excellence and “mind liberation” as the basis of transformational change. Dr. Pipim is a provocative and inspirational writer, having authored some twenty-five books and several articles. His bestselling works include Patience in the Midst of Trials and Afflictions, Healed Wounds but Ugly Scars, Not for Sale, Six More Chances, Hope Through the Dark, and Good Night.
Dr. Pipim has spoken extensively around the world at events for youth, students, young professionals, and civic leaders. For 12 years, he served as a Director of Public Campus Ministries, ministering to students, faculty, and staff at The University of Michigan. In that role, he grandfathered and mentored influential grassroots youth and young adult organizations around the world. He currently directs EAGLESonline and it’s two Centers for Leadership Development known as EAGLES (Empowerment & Advisory Group for Leadership, Excellence, & Service) and ANANSE (African Network & Advisory for Needed Services & Excellence).
Dr. Pipim is a student of God’s Word. Believing that “many books can inform you, but only one Book can transform you,” he seeks to apply the wisdom and lessons from the Bible to everyday life. Thus, over the years, he has taught courses in theology and ethics in several universities around the world, and has also conducted Bible Lectures for students in leading universities like Harvard, Manchester, Stanford, and Wellesley. His public Bible lectures and regular thought-nuggets on a wide variety of subjects are presented in a winsome and dynamic way that engages both the hearts and minds of his audiences, whether secular or religious. His easy-to-read works on the Bible include, Read the Book and Sure Promises.
Dr. Pipim believes in the ideals of Pan Africanism, as enshrined in the “7 Aspirations” of the AU’s Agenda 2063 document (https://tinyurl.com/yakbvmva). Hence his “Africa Must Think” and “Africa, Do You Know” lectures and conferences, and his transformational leadership trainings for African youth, professional, educational, civic, and religious groups. Among Dr. Pipim’s well-received books on Africa are: Africa Must Think, The African Giant, Stand Up & Be Counted, and The Transformed Mind (which he co-authored with Dr. Joyce R. Aryee).
Besides empowering youth, students, and young professionals, Dr. Pipim also presents his inspirational messages on excellence, integrity and service to Heads of State, diplomats, and corporate & religious leaders. Thus, for example, he delivered the keynote message at the 2018 African Heads of State Summit Prayer Breakfast on January 28, 2018 at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The summit was themed: “Winning The Fight Against Corruption: A Sustainable Path to Africa’s Transformation.”
Dr. Pipim is a lifelong student in the school of adversities, hardship and pain, and seeks to encourage students who are similarly enrolled in this school. It’s why, in addition to his multi-pronged ministry of lecturing, public speaking, writing, and leadership development, Dr. Pipim is also a personal growth & executive coach with a coaching practice called “Redacted Coaching”— a Christian coaching platform whose aim is to make people and organizations better versions of themselves. His target audience in coaching are: (i) Busy executives and leaders who are struggling privately with real life issues; and also (ii) those who have experienced personal failures and are unsure about what the future holds for them. Every week, he publishes one-paragraph inspirational thought-nuggets that are accessed by thousands around the world.
