------------------------------------------------------------------------"Jeff Lugerner is a top-drawer professional. Over the last year Jeff has been my professional executive coach, helping me refine my management and communication skills. The training and insight I gained has expanded my leadership capabilities and influence beyond my expectations. Jeff has a keen intuitive sense about the intricate combinations of leadership and personal development with people skills and communication that is difficult to find today amidst the crazy, high-pressured, fast paced, ever-changing life we lead in Silicon Valley."
Geoff Kerr, General Partner, Ark Venture Partners

"There isn't a day that goes by that I don't reflect and draw on the management techniques that I studied with LDI. The greatest value of the LDI course is that it makes you confront and re-evaluate pre-conceived notions about yourself as a manager and mentor to others.
There is no "magic wand" that turns people into effective leaders — it is a process of listening, learning and self-discovery. Jeff and Karen have a knack for drilling into the heart of an issue and creating the opportunity for those "Ah ha!" moments where something intangible becomes clear and useable.
LDI has made me a better manager by helping me discover more about myself and my ideal "leadership brand," which is the essential first step in managing others."
Ben Farrell, Director, Horn Group, Inc.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I worked through Jeff's executive development program a couple of years ago and am very pleased with the results. To this day those skills help my effectiveness as a leader. He gave me insight, tools, and practices to help build effective teams and alliances throughout the organization. His services were also invaluable for developing effective professional team skills for my staff to effectively run our group."
Mike Turnlund, Director, Engineering, Cisco Systems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
"LDI has provided my organization with a true focus on leadership and growth as part of our daily responsibilities. The coaching program offers a framework to drive results while investing in the people who make it happen.
Over the last 12 months of working with LDI, my department reports: very low turnover, high loytitley, increased internal promotions/advancement, increased desire to join the department from other areas and overall high morale.
I have gained valuable insights to my own personal management approach and leadership style to increase my effectiveness. And I plan to continue the work with LDI as my employees view it as a competitive advantage to work in my department."
Elisa Steele, Senior Director, Marketing, Sun Microsystems
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jeff and Karen have a no-nonsense way of working with senior executives to help them learn needed skills and smooth the rough edges that will keep them from advancing. Their combination of insight, technical knowledge of their field, obvious engagement with their clients, pragmatism and humor have proven effective even with those who doubted this type of coaching could be of any use to them. The ongoing focus on measuring change keeps executives and employers engaged and encouraged."
Susan Moriconi, VP Human Resources, Boston Scientific Corporation

"Just a note to express how valuable Jeff Lugerner has been to the development of my career. I have made the difficult transition from Sales to VP of Sales and Jeff was instrumental in coaching me through the difficulties this change has brought about. I have been better prepared to meet the challenges that management has presented due in large part to the time I spend with Jeff. The LDI program is an integral part of my success."
Stan Vuckovich, VP Sales, kbm/WORKSPACE

"LDI has been instrumental in coaching and developing our senior management team. They have consistently demonstrated a high level of management expertise and business integrity. LDI has provided honest, direct feedback to our senior managers and has facilitated their continued growth as well as refinement of their leadership skills. We continue to enjoy the working relationship we've established with LDI and look forward to their continued involvement with LuMend."
