About Us
Who We Are
The International Family and Enterprise Institute (IFE Institute) is a research‑informed, practice‑oriented institution focused on strengthening the family as both a social and economic unit. Our work is grounded in the belief that sustainable societies begin with healthy individuals, resilient families, and enterprising communities.
Our Philosophy
IFE Institute is guided by a learner‑centered philosophy inspired by thinkers such as Socrates, Galileo, and Einstein. We believe meaningful learning occurs when individuals are empowered to think critically, discover insights internally, and develop the capacity for continuous growth and self‑regulation. Rather than prescribing rigid solutions, we create environments that enable individuals and families to develop clarity, resilience, and adaptive strength.
Our Evolution
IFE Institute builds on over two decades of institutional experience:
- Sash Business Management (South Africa, 2009): Accredited skills development and relationship counseling training.
- SashBM Nigeria Limited (2019): Human capacity development for corporate and public sectors.
- SashBM LLC (United States): Organizational development, consulting, coaching, and training.
IFE Institute represents the strategic integration of these experiences into a unified institutional vision focused on family systems, enterprise development, and societal sustainability.
