Do you have a personal plan for growth?

John C. Maxwell is recognised as a best-selling author on leadership, with his books and seminars reaching millions worldwide. Part of the foundation for this success can be traced back to his early encounter with LMI founder Paul J. Meyer who introduced him to the LMI Dynamics of Personal Goal Setting personal development programme (now called Effective Personal Leadership and core to the LMI Total Leader concept), which set him on the path to becoming a leadership expert and motivational speaker.

Maxwell shows his original, well-worn and life-changing LMI programme to the audience at one of his own leadership conferences.

The impact of Meyer’s teachings on Maxwell has been long-lasting. Maxwell himself has stated,

“I have the highest regard for Paul J. Meyer and for what he stands for. He helped open my eyes to the reality of living in the world of the possible, setting goals and taking giant steps toward my destiny. Paul J. Meyer doesn’t talk theory, he’s talking reality.”

On his blog in 2010 Maxwell wrote:

“I quoted my friend Paul Meyer, mentioning that he was the person who helped me create my first personal growth plan. In the hours afterward, I received dozens of requests, all asking the same thing: “How do you create a personal growth plan?

The key to a life of continual learning and improvement lies in developing a plan for growth and following through with it. Paul Meyer knew this. In fact, when I first met him and we had lunch, he asked me a question that changed my life: “Do you have a personal plan for growth?”

In answer, I told him about my work schedule and how much I did and how I was learning on the job.  I kept going on and on.  The more I talked, the more obvious it was that I had no plan.  Paul helped me find one.”

Maxwell’s story sums up what LMI is all about. It’s never been easier to find information about leadership – blogs, podcasts, books and webinars can all be accessed in seconds – but it’s a plan of action for growth that changes lives and is core to all our programmes, resulting in long-term ROI. As one of our clients recently said, “If you want to learn about leadership, read a book. If you want to become a better leader, do an LMI programme!”

New Franchisee – Julie Falls

It was fantastic to welcome Julie to the LMI UK team last month. Julie recently relocated back to the UK after 18 years in Canada, latterly as a Chief HR Officer for a large firm where she was responsible for all people aspects of the business which helped form her core conviction that Business is People.

Julie said, “When I stumbled across LMI it was the perfect package for me. It talks about all the things I’ve been talking about for years and packages it beautifully for organisations, for individuals, to be able to lead themselves first before leading others. Leadership is something you do, not something you are called…it’s being able to demonstrate leadership competencies wherever you are and regardless of your title or what it is you’re doing.”

You can see my interview with Julie and find out more about what drew her to the LMI Opportunity and how she’s found her early experiences getting to know the LMI programmes and ethos: https://youtu.be/dugpeFlpPD0?si=mut4WWV2g6ZIA-2L
