Her insights, expertise, and commitment to our team’s development have been instrumental in fostering a culture of collaboration and achievement. It’s as she possessed a magic formula for turning challenges into steppingstones and transforming obstacles into opportunities.

The transformative power of Vistage became evident as our Chair consistently encouraged our group to delve deeper into each situation, peeling back layers to uncover the core issues. This process of introspection and analysis enabled us to refine our processes, gain a clearer understanding of our objectives, and fortify critical aspects of our business such as finance, growth strategies, and long-term vision. With our Chair’s expert guidance, we reached new heights, transcending our own expectations and achieving goals that once seemed out of reach.

Reflecting on my Vistage journey, I am awed by the pivotal role it played in enabling me to embark on a path of early entrepreneurship in my 20s, building substantial enterprise value, crafting a well-structured exit strategy, and eventually transitioning to a life of fulfillment and quality time with my family in my 40s. This incredible trajectory would have remained a distant dream without the unwavering support of my Chair, Lisa Rios, and the dynamic group.

In 2021, I achieved the milestone of selling my business, a success I largely credit to Lisa and the invaluable coaching sessions she provided. Sending much love to Lisa, with hopes of collaborating once more in the future!

Our General Manager is an existing employee, with LDI’s expertise our General Manager has transitioned to an executive level role and is responsible for leading our entire operations. I strongly recommend LDI and Lisa, they are strong in all aspects of business, strategy, and leadership.

LDI has the capability to work with people in any industry at any level and affect change. If you want to be more successful, then LDI is the catalyst to help you.

For over a decade, we have collaborated with the team at The LDI Group, who have been instrumental in providing individualized coaching to our Executive and Leadership Teams, orchestrating monthly management sessions, facilitating strategic planning sessions and delivering the LDI LAB Leadership training courses. Their comprehensive approach opens a significant opportunity for alignment across all levels of our organization. The LDI Group has consistently demonstrated its capability to elevate our performance to the next level.

I wholeheartedly recommend The LDI Group Team to any individual or team ready to commit to their growth, face challenges head-on, and pursue development opportunities.

When we first engaged with Lisa Rios and the LDI Group, Cucamonga Valley Medical Group was in a challenging state, struggling with leadership direction, a lack of professionalization, and minimal business acumen. She helped establish a strong core culture, developed a financial understanding among shareholders, streamlined our operations for growth, and significantly improved our EBITDA and NOI. Additionally, she expanded our organizational structure and fostered leadership development through regular training, personalized sessions, and strategic planning, all underpinned by a culture of vulnerability-based trust and servant leadership.

Lisa’s knack for simplifying complex concepts and applying real-world examples has made our training exceptionally impactful, highlighting common challenges and emphasizing that we are not alone in our journey. This practical approach has been instrumental in our development and success.

I wholeheartedly recommend the LDI Group to any organization committed to serious growth and development, as Lisa and her team offer invaluable insights and strategies for achieving sustainable progress.”

I would highly recommend the LAB to anyone looking to become more self-aware, a better teammate, and a more impactful leader.  The sessions built on one another as we built camaraderie in our cohort, and the culmination of our efforts manifested in our Capstone projects, which we are already implementing in our business.  The LDI LAB is an investment that is certain to pay dividends.

We deeply appreciate the dedication and expertise that Lisa and her team have contributed to our success.

Our executive team left strategic planning more cohesive, and I continue to develop personally and professionally working individually with her team. Our partnership with The LDI Group has made me a confident and effective leader.

Initiating with the executive team, the LDI LAB has since been extended to our management team due to its profound success, indicating our commitment to ongoing development with Lisa and her team’s support. Boudreau’s pursuit of growth is ambitious and achieving it without exceptional leadership is unimaginable. In the current competitive market, attracting top talent poses a considerable challenge. However, the LDI Group’s offerings enable us to integrate individuals who align with our culture but may initially lack the necessary leadership or managerial skills. These programs accelerate their development, equipping emerging leaders with both the knowledge and confidence required to guide their teams toward remarkable achievements.

For any organization that values people management and development, LDI’s programs are indispensable. I wholeheartedly recommend LDI and Lisa to anyone aiming for personal or business growth.

Their team is not just skilled; they exude professionalism at every interaction, guiding us through the process of not just learning, but truly understanding how to apply new strategies and insights to our leadership and daily operations. The learning programs LDI offers are top-notch and highly relevant to any growth minded business, blending theory with practical application in a way that is both engaging and highly effective.

However, what truly sets The LDI Group apart is their ability to tailor these strategies to the specific needs and challenges of our company, demonstrating a depth of understanding and flexibility that is rare in the industry. Thanks to LDI, we have not only enhanced our professional capabilities but have also seen measurable improvements in our business outcomes. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and highly recommend their services to any company looking to professionalize and develop their leadership and operations further.

“Lisa Rios has been involved in helping to develop and grow Avalon Shutters for over a decade. She interacted with my business partner, who I had built the business with for over 35 years. His sudden passing last November took us all by surprise and I did not know what to do. I relied heavily on him to keep our financial situation stable and for business growth. I felt that the burden of what I had to step into was overwhelming. One of my first calls was to Lisa because I knew I needed help in keeping the company focused and moving forward. Lisa immediately started consulting me on the direction that she felt was best. Over the next several weeks she calmly and patiently walked me through a number of the issues that I lacked knowledge of regarding the operations of the business. She challenged me to step up and take control, to be the leader that this company needed. One of the first things she asked me was what I wanted to do personally, where I saw myself going. Lisa is not only a great advisor, but she also cares about the people that she works with. When we have our one-to-one meetings, she is always asking me how I am doing, and she listens to what I have to say. She is always focused on holding me accountable for the tasks that I need to get done and what is holding me back on anything that I am not getting accomplished. She is someone I know that I can rely on for professional and personal advice. I truly appreciate everything she’s helped me with in getting through one of the most difficult times in my life.”

“When I first met Lisa Rios in 2006 and I hired her to be my coach, my business acumen was born out of the school of hard knocks. Since then, I truly feel that I’ve gained a Harvard Education from Lisa on how a business should operate, how to engage teams, understanding the financials, how the company makes money and what sector, or part of the entity excels and or does not and why. We have had numerous occasions to do deep dives into our processes, our teams, our culture, how we operate and our efficiencies, how to make changes to better the organization. Lisa and her team are experts in seeing the strengths and weaknesses in teams, how they operate, how they can make changes for the better. Their coaching style really engages the individuals and are excellent at communicating the goals and rallying individuals behind the goals of the organization.”

“I can attest that doctors are the worst business people. So, we were great at delivering healthcare in bedside manner and being good physicians. But what we lacked was the business sense.

In working with LDI there is multi levels of coaching across our organization. All the shareholders and key executives received direct coaching. Then we also met as a group and then all, management and mid-level management too received coaching.  We have grown and our top line and bottom-line revenues and profits have improved, and we’ve gotten a return on our investment in this executive coaching.

We also worked with LDI in Strategic Planning, we found that you have great talented people working in your organization, and they all might be doing different things. What LDI’s strategic planning does is help everybody aim at the same target.

I would recommend working with LDI; for us working with Lisa and LDI was a much better experience, and the results are tangible compared to other coaches we have worked with in the past.”

“I would highly recommend to any company or organization that is looking to take that next step and become more than what they currently are to take a good look at the LDI group and discuss with them what a partnership would look like and bring. Make no mistake, it is a commitment and does take some time and resources. If seen through though, I can confidently say the return on investment from a partnership with LDI will pay for itself with dividends for years to come.”

“Lisa, I had never been a part of anything like the Strategic Planning Session we had just wanted to say that I got A LOT out of it and really enjoyed the experience/ working with you!  I’ve only been at Erickson Hall for about 6 months now and really feel good about the direction of the company and the investment back in its people/ vision!”

“Before, I sometimes felt overwhelmed by certain financial jargon and unsure about managing the company’s money effectively. But after completing LDI’s coaching, I feel empowered with a newfound understanding of financial principles. From budgeting to planning, I now make informed decisions with confidence. Working with the LDI group not only improved my financial literacy but also transformed my approach to money management. Highly recommended!”

“Working with Don Mitchell at the LDI Group was truly informative and enjoyable for my personal and professional growth. His expertise in strategic planning not only helped us chart a clearer path forward but also equipped me with invaluable skills in conflict resolution among employees. Don’s approachable style and insightful guidance serves as a great guide to tackle both issues of the day and also long term objectives. I highly recommend Don Mitchell to any business leader seeking strategic direction and effective problem-solving strategies.”

“Our company has worked with LDI for several years and our company has continued to grow year over year.

Our General Manager is an existing employee, with LDI’s expertise our General Manager has transitioned to an executive level role and is responsible for leading our entire operations. I strongly recommend LDI and Lisa, they are strong in all aspects of business, strategy, and leadership.”

“The LDI Group coaches our leadership team through better trust and operational efficiency as a group, as a result, the team has become much more functional year after year.

LDI has the capability to work with people in any industry at any level and affect change. If you want to be more successful, then LDI is the catalyst to help you.”

“In my eyes professional athletes have swing coaches, conditioning coaches, mental coaches, so why wouldn’t professional businesspeople have coaches as well?
