What Distinguishes LXCouncil?
When making a decision about where to spend your time and money in order to advance your professional and personal growth, there are a multitude of factors to consider. Here is a sampling of the more important factors to take into account.
| LXCouncil |
Other Peer Boards |
Selling vs. Coaching
- Uses “highest and best use” talent model.
- Understands that the best moderators are usually not great at developing business and growing the council.
- Leverages strategic relationships and creative techniques for systematic marketing.
|
- Marketing and sales are done by the coach or moderator.
- Either… Strategic growth of the boards is inhibited by lack of sales expertise.
- Or…Turnover on the boards is created by great sales people, but bad coaches. Both possibilities are bad.
- It is difficult to get new markets launched
|
Moderator Relationships
- We train in-house, according to our proprietary protocol, to create skilled moderators.
- Moderators are incentivized to foster greater communication among councils for the good of the members.
- We audit and measure the member experience.
|
- Moderators lack incentives to work together in markets or together nationally.
- The experience of a moderator varies, and there is no consistent delivery.
- Moderators may have questionable coaching certifications.
- There are few if any audits or other measurements.
|
Leverage For Our Members
- Multi-council member relationships.
- Multi-council tools.
- Multi-council best practices.
- Creates strategic partnerships.
|
- Silo operations by market.
- Operates independently.
|
Local vs. Global Perspective
- Create local/global experience that is consistent yet customized.
- Lifetime membership option.
- Mentoring by existing leaders.
- Recognize leaders for achievements and best-practice sharing.
|
- Member experience is created locally per moderator.
- Lack of broader exposure to other companies or talents.
- Little realization of being part of a bigger organization with vast resources.
|
Focus
- Members have broadened views of national relationships, and are not tied to the moderator or council.
- The experience is not from the moderator, it’s from the council. The ultimate goal is for members to understand that it is their personal council.
|
- The member view is of their own board or facilitator only; they are usually tied to the facilitator.
- The facilitator often consults and creates the member experience around them.
|
Proprietary Tools & Resources
- Develops and contracts proprietary tools that enhance the experience of the leader, and do not create conflicts of interest:
- Strategic planning tools
- Leadership Tools
- Exit Planning Tools
- Behavior/value profiles
- Business tools
- Trade-marked internal forms and processes
|
- Lack of real proprietary tools that advance the vision of all.
|
No Conflicts of Interest
- Strategic-based consulting is handled through the LXCouncil corporate entity. Skill-based consulting is outsourced to trusted advisors (strategic partners).
|
- Consulting vs. Coaching: no clear emphasis on one vs. the other. Many coach for the consulting opportunity, which could equal a conflict of interest.
|
Perspective
- Team-based culture with rewards, recognition, and profit-sharing or bonus structure. There is no conflict of interest, which is a win-win for all involved (leaders, moderators, and LXCouncil corporation).
- Creates ownership mentality.
- Operates from Abundance Perspective.
|
- Various team concepts with awards to some degree. There is no win-win alignment, because there is a conflict between best interests of member, facilitator, and corporation.
- Operates from Scarcity Perspective.
|
Commitment
- Changes the paradigm to mutual commitment. We insure that the member is right fit as determined by the potential member, LXCouncil and the existing council members.
|
|
Measurements for Results and Satisfaction Level
- Assessment up front.
- Subsequent assessments are conducted yearly.
- Measure KPI improvement.
|
- Little to no measurement or results documentation.
