LILI 6.5 “In the Beginning…”
What an
OUTSTANDING LILI 6.5 which was held at Tri-Cities during the NAIFA
Washington State Convention. This year was
about going back to “In the Beginning…” when ALL LILI students had the
experience of reading, studying and implementing John Maxwell’s “21 Irrefutable
Laws of Leadership”.
The weather was beautiful as we held our event outdoors on the patio of the Marriott on the banks of beautiful Columbia River in Tri-Cities!
It was an honor to have Thomas “Tom” D. Currey, CLU, ChFC, LUTCF, Past NAIFA President as well as one of the founders
of the NAIFA Leadership In Life Institute!
Our local Moderators were: Thomas “Tom” Fowler, CLU,
LUTCF, Past NAIFA WA President, Past NAIFA Trustee and first LILI Moderator for
NAIFA Washington and finally, to round
out our ‘power line-up of Moderators’ was Scott
Fowler of DI Brokers and now current NAIFA Washington Secretary/Treasurer..
We had a great time learning about each other and creating a new
‘bond’ between LILI Alumni current and past.
It was great to review the “21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership” and take
the discussion from that as a student to the next level, how we have
incorporated these “21 Laws” into our daily leadership roles within our
business, Local NAIFA associations, families, church and communities!
BIG! BIG! “Thank You!” to the
19 LILI Alumni that attended this annual event! We hope our objectives were met in bringing
the Alumni together and enhance the LILI Alumni experience in which
they again identify and understand personal characteristics and qualities in
order to achieve balance; that Balance that affects every aspect of their lives. If you missed this year, don’t miss next
year!! Plans are in the making to do
something totally ‘out of the box!”
Attention:
LILI Alumni, time to ‘pay it forward’. If you know someone who is interested in
signing up for our state’s next class, we will be starting it in January
2014. Now is the time to get an application
submitted! Here is a LINK you can send
to any perspective candidate if they want to know more about NAIFA’s Leadership
in Life Institute: http://www.naifa.org/benefits/lili/index.cfm
Congratulations to Jeff Kyle, LUTCF, CSA,
LTCP, Immediate Past NAIFA Washington President as our 2013-2014 LILI
Moderator. He will attend the Moderator
Training in September in San Antonio, Texas!
Finally, time to blow my own horn: I will be stepping up to be the NAIFA
Leadership in Life Institute Chair in September and work with the NAIFA LILI
SubCommittee made up of 14 of the most positive, can-do leaders of NAIFA from
around the nation as well as conduct the LILI Moderator Training. I joined the National LILI Sub-Committee 3
years ago and was assigned to Chair the LILI Communications and Marketing
Team. My first duty was to grow the
newly launched “LILI Alumni Networks FACEBOOK presence.” This past year we
reviewed all LILI marketing materials and made changes in the marketing
materials, the website and Moderator Workbooks. Look for our new LOGO at this
NAIFA Career Conference! All our efforts
were to make getting to know the NAIFA LILI program more relevant and
accessible!
So…that being said:
“Pay it forward!” to encounter the very best in
leadership and personal development thinking and grow our NAIFA
Washington LILI leaders. As Tom Currey
said: “LILI is not a class in leadership…it’s
an experience!”
