Why SMI Programs Work
We are all exposed to great ideas, but it's the ones we put into action that
actually make a difference.
SMI programs are designed to ensure that you will understand, master and apply
the concepts presented. By the end of the course, you can literally measure
the results.
Convenience
Each program has been designed to allow busy people to absorb and use
new ideas quickly. The lessons are recorded for easy listening and quick
review. You can listen as you commute, as you dress or prepare for work,
as you relax at home, or at a time you reserve at work. You can listen
any time when your hands are busy but your mind is not.
|
Multisensory Impact
Each program is designed to help individuals absorb the training by using
three basic senses: sight, sound, and touch. It makes use of the visual
sense through studying and reading the printed text. By listening to the
recordings, the sense of hearing is utilized. The sense of touch is brought
into play as you respond to the various action steps suggested at the
end of each lesson. The more senses involved in the learning experience,
the greater our ability to assimilate and remember.
|
Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition is the key to learning. Just as you didn't learn the
ABCs the first time you heard them, it takes time and repetition for the
mind to accept and embrace any new idea or concept. By utilizing the same
techniques that advertisers use to establish brand name recognition, you
will absorb the information from each lesson. Ideas that did not seem
particularly applicable the first time you heard them may be the exact
information you need to deal with a current situation.
|
Plan of Action - Action Learning
An important part of the multisensory impact of the program is provided
by Plan of Action materials for each lesson. These materials will help
you apply the concepts of the lessons to your own situation and develop
your own unique plan for the achievement of personal goals.
|
Personal Coaching
Our trained professionals will serve as your own personal "success
coach." By working closely with you through each step of the process,
your coach helps you apply the concepts in specific and practical ways
to your own situation. They are also an invaluable resource for answering
questions, discussing new ideas, measuring results, etc. |
The Need For SMI
The Personal Need
The greatest need in the world today is competent, caring people committed to
positive values and goals. Countless people are searching for ways to better
deal with today's pressures and challenges while enjoying fulfillment in all
areas of their lives. Evidence is everywhere of individuals who want more from
their lives:
| 1. |
The inability of employees to deal
positively with stress - This dire personal need takes its toll on
families in incalculable ways while it also costs organizations billions
of dollars annually in absenteeism, illness, high turnover, low productivity,
and an alarming number of on-the-job accidents.
|
| 2. |
The desire for more from life than
just money - A survey of over 1000 people expressed these goals. |

In the future, more and more jobs
will require professional thinking and reasoning skills as opposed to
labor skills. This is completely reverse from 50 years ago. |
|
|
Survey after survey has found that
companies have great to very great difficulty filling professional positions.
More than 67% have difficulty finding technical and other skilled workers. |
|
|
The trend is to cut back and get more
accomplished with fewer people. This means companies must employ motivated,
competent people to take up the slack left by a shrinking staff. |
|
|
Of the new jobs in the next decade,
85% will be generated by companies that employ fewer than 1000 people.
Ninety percent of all companies fall into this small and mid-size range
and do not have in-house training and development programs. They depend
on outside resources such as SMI to provide their professional development
training. |
|
|
Competition is becoming fiercer by
the day. To effectively compete, you must constantly improve yourself
and your business. "Learning and development may be the only sustainable
competitive advantage." |
The message is clear! People must accelerate their development to make the required
changes in their careers - or face the possibility of being left behind. Whereas
continuing education and development of potential, skills, and talents were
once considered a luxury, today they are an absolute necessity. Individuals
at every level are searching for programs that will provide a winning edge.
SMI's professional development programs are an answer to one of the marketplace's
greatest needs - to increase the productivity and quality of businesses around
the world.
