Doug Dwoyer

As a typical introverted technical geek, I was afraid to step outside my comfort zone. I attended LaL to work on my tendency to avoid conflict and my difficulty initiating new relationships. Thanks to the training and coaching over the past two years, I am now better able to hold people accountable to milestones and deliverables. Instead of being afraid of delivering the bad news, I engage my employees in the process and approach the situation in a more effective way. I have been able to build new relationships, increase my sphere of influence and improve my ability to get buy-in for my ideas from multiple stakeholders. I have become a more effective leader, creating ground breaking initiatives and impacting a level of organizational change far beyond what I have accomplished my entire career.
