Welcome to the Course Catalog of The Leadership Institute!

A Brief Overview

TLI's course catalog currently includes classes initially designed and delivered to the attendees of the May, 2006 AFCP Conference in Miami, Florida.  Courses delivered at the New Orleans Conference in April, 2007 will be available after the conference. 

All of these materials were designed and developed by TLI Faculty members to support the mission of providing, "...leadership and sales training support to inspire and motivate those passionate about making a difference in the lives of others."   As a faculty, we believe that a strong, energetic and dynamic sales force begins with a sound training program.  We encourage you to download these materials and use them with your own staff to further develop and reinforce their skills.
