Karen has partnered with me numerous times and provided exceptional executive coaching to many of my employers and clients. She is intelligent, thoughtful, and highly focused. She has the ability to quickly understand issues and can determine practical, real-world solutions to complex problems. I would never hesitate to hire or recommend Karen to my colleagues. She is an extremely valued resource.

Karen is an intuitive, creative and trusted partner. She focuses not only at the issues at hand, but also takes into account all aspects of a persons professional and personal experiences. Karen provides relevant perspective and is always good at questioning the status quo. Her clarity in coaching has been invaluable in my career.

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.

I have seen immediate, measurable and positive differences in the effectiveness of my team. LDIs coaching is not only a strong benefit for myself and my team, its a competitive advantage in this job market. Its an investment in the number one asset we all have our people!

LDI has been a central part of Horn Groups executive development program for several years. From group dynamics and motivational techniques to individual coaching on leadership and management, their training has contributed greatly to the success of our organization.

There isnt a day that goes by that I dont 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.

Karen and Jeff have worked with our company for several years now to provide coaching to individuals and team building for groups. Both Karen and Jeff are excellent at figuring out what individuals or teams need to work on, identifying the best strategies for making improvements, and following through with the coaching or facilitation. They use various feedback and diagnostic tools to supplement individual or group coaching which helps to customize the process and make it more effective.

I especially like their style of communicating, which is very candid but supportive, and our employees respond well to this also. I wasn't sure initially how this would work, but we've also benefited from their approach of co-coaching and co-facilitating, since their skills and coaching styles are complimentary but also different. We've essentially had the benefit of two coaches for what we otherwise might have paid for just one. I highly recommend Karen and Jeff based on our work with them and would be happy to talk with anyone in more detail.
