“Lifechanging!”

One of the statements we make when introducing LMI to prospective clients is that we are the UK’s most practical, reliable leadership resource, known for its life-changing impact. This always sounds a bit grand for a training programme, however it is what people who participate in LMI programmes keep saying about it!

Last month Lester Young completed his second and began his third group of leaders at Sayvol Environmental on the EPP (Effective Personal Productivity) programme which is the first in LMI’s Total Leader Solution. The picture below is the 2nd group of programme graduates, along with the company directors who have made this ongoing commitment to leadership development in their business with Lester and LMI based on the fantastic results from the first pilot group earier this year. See Lester’s LinkedIn post for more details.

Joel from that first group wrote of his experience…

“EPP – Lifechanging!”
I recently completed an exceptional training course on effective personal productivity that has left a lasting impact on my professional and personal life. The course has been expertly designed. Lester’s depth of knowledge and engaging teaching style made all concept’s easy to understand and implement. By the end of the training I felt confident in my ability to manage my time better, prioritise tasks effectively and sustain a higher level of productivity. Thanks again to Lester and the team.

You can read a total of 118 LMI reviews on our Findcourses.co.uk profile.

Lester’s experience with Sayvol is a great example of the ongoing, valued relationship that LMI franchisees develop with their clients. Just half-a-dozen of these relationships and you have the foundations of a great business.

The Power of Spaced Repetition

One of the most powerful aspects of the approach that LMI uses, and a super-important concept that can help you in all aspects of your life, is spaced repetition.

Remember that amazing book you read / webinar you attended / podcast you listened to that you thought would have a life-long impact but then you couldn’t remember what it was just a couple of days later?!

Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting Curve (above) sums this up perfectly. When we encounter an idea once, we forget around 80% of it within just one day! Think about what that means for all those training courses that that deliver fantastic information in a one or two day course, but once back at work the material goes on the shelf and is rarely, if ever, revisited. The long-term impact is minimal.

If we learn something that is of value, we need to revisit and review that information, that idea, that practice, until it is embedded in our long-term memory and becomes a lasting habit. The only way this can take place is through spaced repetition – the repeated exposure, over time, to ideas, information and action.

This process is a core part of what makes LMI so life-changing for so many people. We employ this process in everything we do. You too can harness the power of spaced repetition. If you read a great book, read it again…and again. If you learn a great new function in Excel, redo that same thing daily for a month, and you’ll never forget! If it’s important, repeat it.

When you take this approach and apply it to all the key aspects of great management and leadership, through the structured process of the LMI programmes, the results are truly outstanding.
