Curriculum

“I had absolutely no idea what LILI could do for my career and my personal life! After graduating from LILI, I won Agent of the Year two years in a row. I know without a doubt, LILI is what got me over the hump.”
– Kelly R. Dickson, LUTCF, CLU, NAIFA Central Texas, Southern Farm Bureau Agent

“Kudos to NAIFA for developing such a course! I’ve been involved (both as student and teacher) in Dale Carnegie and various industry designation classes. In my opinion, LILI ranks at the top in helping prioritize what is important in life, and achieving one’s self-determined definition of success.”
– Michael Standrod, CLU, REBC, NAIFA-Northwest Arkansas, LILI 2010 Graduate
