What You Should Know

FAQs

LMI – Slight Edge Group is known as the top leadership firm in Canada. Our unique LMI Concept and Process makes us stand out, delivering tangible and sustainable results to clients. Here is what makes us different and what our clients want to know most often when they first hear about LMI's leadership development programs.

  • How are you different from other leadership firms?

    LMI is not a training company based on traditional lectures, seminars or quick training programs. We are not consultants either as we believe you are the experts in your business. Instead, we help clients develop leadership skills and practically apply them through our unique LMI Concept.


    At LMI, we utilize a multi-sensory learning approach to foster changes and positive results in your life and business. We equip you with the tools and methods to boost productivity and leadership skills and coach you on how to apply them in our classes and lessons.

  • What is the LMI Concept and Process?

    The LMI Concept and Process is built on the principle that the best way to learn is to do. We know that lectures and seminars don't work as they are passive and theoretical. Our concept and process program helps you achieve transformational changes in personal development, teamwork, business and leadership, by encouraging you to apply what you have learned and practice spaced repetition.


    The key to success is cultivating long-lasting changes. We achieve this through continuous coaching, which is conducted on-site in small groups where we engage in team dynamics to help you apply new knowledge and concepts to achieve fundamental transformations.


  • How long is the course?

    The length of our programs varies from 6 to 12 months depending on the type of program you choose, the results of the preliminary assessment and the initial performance gap. We run bi-weekly sessions, which take 2-3 hours each, depending on the size of the group. All our sessions take place at our clients' location, which minimizes team downtime and eliminates travel expenses.


    In addition, our programs include lessons taken outside of group sessions. We have developed our coaching programs with busy people in mind so that an average lesson outside classes is only 20 minutes.

  • What results can I expect after I register for your courses?

    At LMI, we have several programs, each with a different focus to help you develop positive changes where you need them most. We have programs for personal development, team development, business development, women leadership and a Total Leader program as well.


    While our programs cater to different developmental and organizational needs, they have goals that are very much in common. They are aimed at demonstrating that small positive changes can have a huge impact. All of our clients who commit to working with us and actively participate in the LMI Process demonstrate notable improvements in their team and business performance, personal productivity and leadership skills.
