LMI Canada - Slight Edge Group

We had another awesome Effective Personal Productivity graduation in late July!

These incredible people made a commitment to invest in themselves. They leaned into the process, challenged old habits, developed new disciplines, and became more intentional in how they think, plan, prioritize, and execute.

And the results speak for themselves:

💪 Health & wellness: Participants made consistent time for physical activity, healthier eating, stress reduction, and personal well-being, including one participant achieving a 20-pound weight reduction goal.

⏰ Work-life balance: Leaders challenged the habit of simply working more, with participants successfully reducing and maintaining their workweeks at a maximum of 45 hours.

👥 Leadership & growth: Dedicated time was invested in staff supervision, training, skills development, policy knowledge, and preparing for greater leadership opportunities.

🚀 Business & entrepreneurship: Ideas moved forward through intentional time for creativity, product development, business planning, and the implementation of a new business and marketing strategy.

🏆 Organizational impact: Training manuals, program resources, and new frameworks were developed, work that will continue benefiting organizations and the people they serve.

❤️ Life outside of work: Participants also made meaningful time for family, personal interests, creativity, and activities that bring fulfillment and energy.

Perhaps the greatest successes weren't found on a goal sheet.

They were found in becoming more intentional about where their time goes, understanding the difference between being busy and being productive, and realizing that success in one area of life doesn't have to come at the expense of another.

Success is built through the small, consistent decisions we make every day.

That's the power of developing the right habits, maintaining a positive attitude, and staying committed to a clear vision.

Congratulations to each of our graduates and to Mel Kennah their LMI facilitator! At LMI Canada, we're excited to see where you're headed with your new habits, tools, and mindset.

☀️ Your future is brighter because of the decisions you made over the past several months. You've certainly earned this moment!

The journey doesn't end at graduation. In many ways, it's just beginning.

Keep living The Slight Edge. You are part of the Slight Edge Group family for life.

Congratulations again to these incredible humans:

Yesterday was an incredible day, celebrating the graduation of another outstanding group of leaders!

This group is special, and we don't say that lightly. Over the past several months, they became far more than classmates. They became trusted friends, mentors, accountability partners, and confidants. The bonds they built through this journey will extend well beyond graduation and, we have no doubt, will last a lifetime.

They committed to investing in themselves. They leaned into the hashtag process with open minds, challenged old habits, adopted new disciplines, and became more intentional in how they think, plan, prioritize, and execute.

The results speak for themselves:

💥 Financial goals were achieved and in some cases exceeded by nearly double.

📖 Future authors began writing books they had been putting off for years.

💪 Health and fitness goals became reality through consistent daily habits.

🚀 New business ideas became successful side businesses.

🏆 Major organizational projects that had been stalled for months, or even years, were finally completed.

🌱 Leaders sparked meaningful culture change, creating more engaged employees, stronger teams, and healthier workplaces.

🤔Perhaps the greatest successes weren't found on a goal sheet. Participants shared stories of happier teams, stronger workplace cultures, and even happier relationships at home. When we become more intentional leaders and people, the positive impact reaches far beyond ourselves.

Success is built through the small, consistent decisions we make every day.

That's the power of developing the right habits, maintaining a positive attitude, and staying committed to a clear vision.

Congratulations to each of our graduates. It has been an absolute honour to watch you grow, not only in what you've accomplished, but in who you've become and where you're headed with the new habits, tools, and hashtag mindset..

☀️Your future is brighter because of the decisions you made over the past several months. Congratulations you've certainly earned this moment.

As Paul J. Meyer, our founder often said:

"Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass."

The journey doesn't end at graduation. In many ways, it's just beginning.

Keep living The Slight Edge. You are part of the Slight Edge Group family for life.

👀: Vision Board Edition! ✨

🎯 At the mid-term point in our programs, participants get to reflect and share their progress to date, along with their goals for the next 3–5 years.

This week, we’re shining the spotlight on Beverly Somers (CPHR) and her vision board! Bev is well on her way to achieving both her personal and business goals, with a strong focus on what’s next!!

Personally, she’s going to make more time for the things she’s always wanted to do for HER!! (Hint: 📸⛳and more 📚)

Professionally, Bev has BIG plans to build on the current success with her SMART Human Resource Solutions and LMI Canada - Slight Edge Group by creating a safe place for the business community to grow and learn and by helping more people navigate messy HR challenges and fix their productivity paralysis. (Hint:🏢🍰☕)

🌊 Keep following Bev for more updates on her progress....because this vision board is just getting started!

👋🏼 Say Hi to Ashton Beardsworth: She is an alumni who experienced the true impact of our Effective Personal Productivity (EPP) program!

As a leader of a growing organization (BGC Moncton) and a mom of four, she was constantly balancing competing priorities, big responsibilities, and the pull of being needed in many places at once. Through EPP, she gained practical tools to become more intentional with her time, more focused on strategic priorities, and more confident in delegating and empowering her team. hashtag

🌊 “EPP helped me work more effectively, not simply work more.”

One of her biggest takeaways was learning where her time is most valuable as a leader, while building stronger habits around prioritization, delegation, and accountability.

🌊 “The program helped me become more organized, focused, and intentional in all areas of my life.”

That’s the power of EPP. It’s not just about productivity. It’s about creating space for better leadership, stronger teams, and more balance in life.

🌊 “The impact has been significant, and I am incredibly grateful for the growth and perspective this experience provided.”

If you’re ready to feel more focused and in control of your time, we’d love to share more about our EPP programs starting in September and October 2026!
