Retaining information, applying it, practicing, repetition, proper implementation and execution are the keys to developing and learning soft skills and turning them from concepts into behaviors of habit. This is very similar to how athletes develop muscle memory to excel in their given sports at an elite level.
The million-dollar question is: Are you actually retaining any of the information you’re receiving?
Studies show that individuals forget (on average) over 50% of what they intake within the first day of receiving the information. So, if you attend a workshop or seminar, you will forget more than half of what you hear on the first day!
Over time, individuals will forget upwards of 98-99% of what they intake with only one observation of the information. With the money that is spent on training and development, is it worth spending an entire day training only for your team to remember 1% of the information they receive?
There is a better way: Spaced Repetition
Using the time-tested leadership resources of LMI, Langley Leadership Group applies the concept of spaced repetition so that every individual intakes information a minimum of six times while using multi-sensory perception. Through using sight, sound, touch, and voice, individuals go from remembering 1-2% of information to applying over 90% of the information.
This provides real, tangible, measurable results for top level leadership development every time.
