When I hit mid-career, I found myself teaching strategic planning and change leadership to all kinds of businesses, with all kinds of leaders. Fresh from a move from Europe to America, what struck me most was all the confusion around leadership. This was a time of immense change, and the voices offering leadership solutions were like an unconducted orchestra … I was constantly dealing with leaders overwhelmed and inundated with competing solutions. From that point on, my quest became to find a way to help them out of their confusion … and that was the genesis of the Total Leadership Framework™. Since its birth, it has helped countless leaders (I really have lost count of how many who have embraced it) to figure out exactly what kind of leadership they need for the challenges they face and how to harness the right resources to meet them. LDI, our company, became the vehicle to deliver the Total Leadership Framework™ and to develop the coaches and facilitators to teach it. For those who are curious, what happened before my move from Europe was an upbringing mostly in France and the UK, a boarding school in England, University in the UK, Graduate studies at Strasbourg’s Institute of Higher European studies, a spell as production manager for a UK textile manufacturer, a sales director for a Swiss startup, and the director of the French division of a Dutch brokerage business. Along the way, I was given the gift of an amazing wife (American) and two remarkable children. And what has happened since … well, some books I’ve authored, some terrific colleagues and clients, plenty of speaking … it’s actually the story of LDI, and I’d love you to join in on it. We’ll help you write the right script for your leadership adventure. We’re all about making you a hero as you lead … and as you help future leaders in your sphere of influence. Join us!
