Have you made the discovery that reviewing and continually applying the skills learned at LMC is a ‘Could Be’ rather than an ‘As Is’? Recently I’ve gotten several letters like the following. (Maybe you have thought this too?)
Dear John,
I’ve been talking with other LMC alumni and suggesting that we should reboot our mental computers by doing a refresher course. I can imagine that you don't want us to be successful for the first while and then nothing comes through because the application was lost during the process!! Right?
ONE BIG RULE that you should have: “Those who come, should come as a pair!” Two people remember more then one person. That would ‘guarantee’ that the application would be much better at home ... better than with one person only.
RULE NUMBER TWO should be to organize a refresher course!
I perked up at the comments about doing a refresher course since that is an area that I would like to see developed in the LMC ministry effort. In fact, we have already conducted some mini courses which we call Leadership Matters Advanced (LMA).
During the Leadership Matters Advanced we review LMC material, practice skills and provide individual consultant help on personal projects, like PRD’s or Life Management Plans, etc. We also spend additional time introducing new materials such as Team Building workshops.
An LMA is a minimum of 15 hours of reviewing LMC data with as many LMC alumni as are available. (Since it seems to be a norm for LMC alumni to train their teams in the material they’ve already learned, other colleagues may come to the LMA as well!)
An LMA may be scheduled to coincide with a retreat or conference. (One time we had it as the main feature of a Field Retreat and scheduled business meetings, fun programs and inspirational speakers around it.) Economical use of time and money is always a benefit. With your creative greenlighting skills maybe you can propose some ideas of mutual benefit in which we could schedule and organize an LMA together?
Hit Contact Us if you have a possible interest in a refresher course. It may be that your dreams will fit our plans! Also fill in the Survey so that the ITA Staff can appraise the ongoing effectiveness and relevance of the LMC materials in your life and ministry.
Serving with you …
