Our Raison D’être
Traditional education, although indispensable, does not prepare people to face the challenges of life effectively; it does not truly empower people to craft their destiny the way they want it; this is because it is not complete. Traditional education lacks an inescapable element that makes the picture complete, and that is the education on soft skills. We live to help people make up for their lack of soft skills so that they can become full fledge educated beings.
It All Started With A Successful Failure
Formerly motivated to help improve food security in Africa, Mensah Houinsou encountered a severe setback when his promising and successful company collapsed monumentally. That happened because an energy of divergence and difficulty to manage emotions struck the founding team and left divided and demeaning a group of young people who were once inseparable and very eager to conquer the world.
That failure made him realize the power of emotions and eventually how the most important things in life such as fulfillment, high performance, effective collaboration, and success are all inextricably linked of the mastery of soft skills by individuals. His new mission was then clearly defined as he vowed to help improve the soft skills of every single person he will have the opportunity to meet. He thus became a Mindfulness Trainer and later a Certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner. After having an extensive experience affecting changes in the lives of many people across the globe, he decided to found Takafa Mindset, aiming to provide a rock-solid foundation for his mission of awakening people to their real potentials through their mastery of soft skills.
