All of our programs focus on three key elements: attitude development, skills enhancement and goals achievement. We integrate these elements into our programs through the Success Formula, which is structured and explained as follows:

ASK + G = PBC = IR

Attitudes, Skills, Knowledge + Goals = Positive Behavior Change = Improved Results

In simple terms, the Success Formula means: Attitude development, skills enhancement and existing knowledge, combined with realistically high goal setting, will lead to a positive behavior change that will provide improved results.

Our program sessions begin with a kickoff meeting to make introductions, hand out program materials, discuss and assess our clients needs, discuss and identify our client's expectations, define the learning objectives, and outline how attitudes and behavioral skills lead to success. At the kickoff meeting, we introduce the "parking lot" which is an ongoing list of issues submitted by participants that are addressed throughout the program. During our program sessions, group interaction, questions, critique and feedback are encouraged. Our programs conclude with a review session that insures all client needs were thoroughly addressed during the program and a review of the "parking lot" and any other issues.

Included with our program materials are planning guides and a manual with the programs literal content. Also included are a series of CD s, which summarize key elements of our program s content. There is a CD covering each chapter and we ask our clients to listen to the CD corresponding to the chapter that will be reviewed in an upcoming facilitation session, once a day, for 6 consecutive days prior to the start of that session. This is so Spaced Repetition can be applied in the development process. Spaced Repetition is a retentive method of learning a subject by listening to it repeatedly. Researchers say that listening to a subject once per day, for five consecutive days, results in 62% retention of the subject for 15 years up to life. To illustrate this, complete the phrase: "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese......pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. Now how many of us made the conscious effort to memorize what is on McDonald's Big Mac. It was through spaced repetition that we learned this and we use the same concept in our programs.

Does your organization have working leaders who inspire confidence and goal achievement? Today's busy executives and managers do not have time to micromanage all aspects of the organization, nor do you want them to. Imagine how effective your supervisors and managers would be if they were leading leaders.
