Learn it. Achieve it.
In 1994 my father, Walt Lembi, spent an entire day in a Microsoft Excel training
course, forced to sit through the course in its entirety to learn the half-day’s
worth of material he actually needed. On top of that, not only was the instruc-
tor boring, but he had clearly never used Excel in a real-life business situation.
After that experience, my father promised himself: Never again!
My father went on to found Learn It, and 21 years later we remain committed to
being the industry standard for professional development and training.
From technology to professional development, employee training can be a
challenge. But with our talented instructors, extensive course offerings, cus-
tom content development services, and flexible delivery options—as well as
offices in San Francisco, San Jose, and New York—Learn It is able to help orga-
nizations and individuals across the globe reach their potential.
Our focus has always been on using education and training to connect people
with each other, and with the technology and processes they need for success
and self-fulfillment. To maximize success (and avoid experiences like my fa-
ther’s), we take a holistic approach that considers the full experience of today’s
professionals.
We also recognize that everyone learns best in different ways. Our approach is
to always provide the very latest and most efficient ways to learn, while recog-
nizing the different ways that people like to learn. Then we make sure that rich
content is available anytime and anywhere it's needed for later reinforcement.
On behalf of all of us here at Learn It, we’d like to invite you to join the family.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will assign one of our experienced,
dedicated account managers to answer all of your questions and assist you
with your training plans.
Sincerely,
Damon Lembi, President and CEO

What Is the Value of Leadership Training?
It’s simple. Investment in leadership development and
emotional intelligence training drives organizational per-
formance. As organizations are increasingly reliant on man-
agers and executives who can do more with less, critical
questions are being raised about what steps are necessary to
develop such leaders.
The domino effect of great leadership has repercussions in
an organization’s ability to attract and retain key talent, in-
creases productivity, and supports more robust talent man-
agement.
Developing Leaders
What is commonly referred to as leadership development is,
most often, leader development. Our interactive, tool-based
courses offer your people an opportunity to benchmark
their current skill set and develop competencies they need
to drive revenue, increase efficiency, cultivate collaboration,
and ensure customer satisfaction.
Emotional Intelligence
Leaders with high levels of emotional intelligence have a
solid level of self-awareness about the link between their
behavior and how it makes others feel and, more important,
perform. In addition, there are three abilities that leaders
high in emotional intelligence consistently demonstrate, es-
pecially when it is most difficult to do so:
•	 They are able to admit to their mistakes and take personal
accountability.
•	 They are able to listen to others without jumping to con-
clusions.
•	 They do not avoid difficult conversations, and are able to
hold people accountable.
Leadership Series
Leaders demonstrating these three competencies are best
able to both create connection and develop the talent of their
employees—two abilities that go hand in hand.
Through leadership and emotional intelligence training,
your leaders will hone in on employees’ individual strengths,
passions, and desired career plans—ultimately driving per-
formance and innovation.

of active participation and kinetic enthusiasm. There is no online
version of this course.
Candidates who attend the Boot Camp are also provided with a sub-
scription to Transcender, an online professional test-preparation

    In 1994 myfather, Walt Lembi, spent an entire day in a Microsoft Excel training course, forced to sit through the course in its entirety to learn the half-day’s worth of material he actually needed. On top of that, not only was the instruc- tor boring, but he had clearly never used Excel in a real-life business situation. After that experience, my father promised himself: Never again! My father went on to found Learn It, and 21 years later we remain committed to being the industry standard for professional development and training. From technology to professional development, employee training can be a challenge. But with our talented instructors, extensive course offerings, cus- tom content development services, and flexible delivery options—as well as offices in San Francisco, San Jose, and New York—Learn It is able to help orga- nizations and individuals across the globe reach their potential. Our focus has always been on using education and training to connect people with each other, and with the technology and processes they need for success and self-fulfillment. To maximize success (and avoid experiences like my fa- ther’s), we take a holistic approach that considers the full experience of today’s professionals. We also recognize that everyone learns best in different ways. Our approach is to always provide the very latest and most efficient ways to learn, while recog- nizing the different ways that people like to learn. Then we make sure that rich content is available anytime and anywhere it's needed for later reinforcement. On behalf of all of us here at Learn It, we’d like to invite you to join the family. Please don’t hesitate to contact us and we will assign one of our experienced, dedicated account managers to answer all of your questions and assist you with your training plans. Sincerely, Damon Lembi, President and CEO Learn It

    52 What Is theValue of Leadership Training? It’s simple. Investment in leadership development and emotional intelligence training drives organizational per- formance. As organizations are increasingly reliant on man- agers and executives who can do more with less, critical questions are being raised about what steps are necessary to develop such leaders. The domino effect of great leadership has repercussions in an organization’s ability to attract and retain key talent, in- creases productivity, and supports more robust talent man- agement. Developing Leaders What is commonly referred to as leadership development is, most often, leader development. Our interactive, tool-based courses offer your people an opportunity to benchmark their current skill set and develop competencies they need to drive revenue, increase efficiency, cultivate collaboration, and ensure customer satisfaction. Emotional Intelligence Leaders with high levels of emotional intelligence have a solid level of self-awareness about the link between their behavior and how it makes others feel and, more important, perform. In addition, there are three abilities that leaders high in emotional intelligence consistently demonstrate, es- pecially when it is most difficult to do so: • They are able to admit to their mistakes and take personal accountability. • They are able to listen to others without jumping to con- clusions. • They do not avoid difficult conversations, and are able to hold people accountable. Leadership Series Leaders demonstrating these three competencies are best able to both create connection and develop the talent of their employees—two abilities that go hand in hand. Through leadership and emotional intelligence training, your leaders will hone in on employees’ individual strengths, passions, and desired career plans—ultimately driving per- formance and innovation.
