Dear LCPs, VPs TM and VPs Finance,
NLDC is just around the corner, and we're very excited to be seeing all of you very soon!
It's time for another LC Health newsletter!
Today is a very exciting day: we have officially hit 1000 approves in our MC term, from June to May!
But it's not over: we yet have to hit 1000 realizations!
here is about a week left to make a difference in April! Let's take a quick look at some of our lead measures.
How are we doing in IXP?
How are we doing in member contribution?
LCPs:
- OGX Pricing Model Open Space - Wednesday, April 26, 6:00-8:00pm EST
- In lieu of the upcoming proposed motion to update the EP Fee prices, we will be holding an open space to answer any inquiries about this change. As we understand that it is exam season, we will be recording this space. We will also have an additional space at legislation fair to discuss about this. More information will be sent through a google calendar invite.

What does this mean for LCPs, VPs F, and VPs TM?
LCPs: Coach VP IGTs/oGTs & VP MarComs on the bottlenecks in application generation and approving EPs, as well as closing on sales meetings. Connect your team to the resources they need (e.g. NSTs, other AIESEC Canada VPs).
VPs F: What educational touch-points do your VPs need to attend to make sure they drive these programs in the summer? How can the LC either subsidize or create an ROI-based reimbursement plan for members that want to attend functional summits in these programs?
VPs TM: How can the LC structure be more agile to ensure that talent exists in these programs throughout the summer?
If you remember from my March 9th newsletter, I talked to you about Grit, and I linked you to two cool TED Talks about it. One of the speakers, Caroline Miller, is releasing a book this June about how to develop grit, and her introduction and first chapter are available for free, if you sign up here. Take a quick look!
In the meantime, let's take a look at a TED Talk about success vs. mastery, by Sarah Lewis.
https://www.ted.com/talks/sarah_lewis_embrace_the_near_win#t-475694
In this talk, the speaker explains the difference between success and mastery. Success is an individual moment: hitting the goal, completing a difficult task. Mastery is knowing that success means nothing until it can be reproduced again, and again, and again. Mastery is a constant pursuit.
It made me think about LCs in Canada. How often do we see LCs having a successful year... only to decline again the following year? Our LCs have successful years, but rarely reach mastery. How can we change that?
Food for thought, for the LC Health synergy, about how to make our growth more sustainable year over year.
