WOW! THIS PROCESS SIMPLY WOWED US!
DURING THE TIME THAT WE WERE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING NOTED ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE WITH ANOTHER COMPANY, WE WORKED WITH LC GLOBAL TO LEAD OUR GLOBAL FINANCE MANAGEMENT TEAM THROUGH AN IMPORTANT CHANGE PROCESS. THE 'FUTURE U' SESSIONS WERE EXRTREMELY HELPFUL AND BOOSTED OUR TEAM MORALE AND COLLABORATION SIGNIFICANTLY. NOT ONLY CAN I RECOMMEND "FUTURE U" AND LC GLOBAL WITH THEIR UNIQUE COACHING PROCESS. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I TRULY ENJOYED THE COLLABORATION.
WE ASKED LC GLOBAL TO HELP US DEVELOP A NEW ORGANIZATION STRUCTURE THAT IS FULLY BASED ON OUR VALUES AND CORPORATE CULTURE.
