There are so many ways that Frank has helped our firm over the years,
starting with meeting facilitation of officer offsites, to conflict
resolution, to leadership coaching and training, to lateral hires
assimilation to the culture committee, and being a sounding board on
personnel issues.
Frank helped us put together our first five-year
plan and the focus helped us exceed even our most optimistic
expectations. He continues to help us to this day to articulate,
maintain, and fine tune our future as we continue to grow. He is a
master at facilitating difficult discussions among our very
intelligent and hard driving senior management group, helping us to
comprehensively explore and continuously craft win-win solutions for
our people and our long term business.
Jim Malernee, Cornerstone Research
I have enrolled I other programs/seminars like the LSME, however never
once have I been surprised or caught off guard and have my
expectations level set as they were from Frank. Frank and Trish put
the responsibility in us to listen, comprehend, "truly hear" and then
responded as we wish to really understand where we are and how we feel
when receiving feedback from colleagues and such. It's very powerful.
In addition, the tools, for example, are also very appropriate for the
coursework and are absolutely perfect tools to help us learn who we
are, who other people are…and how to interact with each other both
professionally and interpersonally – A great experience.

We wanted to transform an international organization into a truly global one. Our vision held substantial opportunity if we did it right. Our challenge was to instill a company-wide global perspective. Frank lee Associates helped our new executive team develop that vision and identify the key values and practices required for its implementation. We benefited from their bias for action.”
Ron Davis, President, Zimmer, Inc.
The marketplace opportunity was tremendous, but we had two companies, two strategies, two cultures. Many people were unsure about their jobs and now they had to work with a former competitor. Frank Lee Associates put together a series of seminars to build team relationships with their counterparts to make the whole enterprise successful as a unit.”
Bill Yingling, President, Lucky Stores in California when merging with Alpha Beta
Our challenge was to foster teamwork despite cultural differences. Frank Lee Associates came in and crafted a change process, not just a course, Working with them, we were able to openy discuss and resolve differences that inhibited teamwork and objective problem solving. The results are noticeable, measurable, and directly affect the bottom line.”
Denny Mitchell, Human Resource Director, NEC Electronics
We needed a product strategy for entering a new market. However, this strategy required the involvement and collaboration of two highly independent groups within the company. During a two-day planning session, Frank kept us focused on achieving critical outcomes and disarmed the emotional and political obstacles preventing our success. As a result, we achieved our objective by hitting the market quickly with a single, well-thought-out, and appropriate product strategy.”

Excellent! I spent two years and $100,000 on my business school education at Harvard and never learned this much about leadership!”
Sally Stump, Marketing Director, Quokka, Inc.
I have sent many managers to the seminars with consistently good results. I found that with several people it was the most effective method for having them hear the problems they had interfacing with people at work – their manager, subordinates, and peers alike.”
Howard Smith, President, Clarity Software
This was the best experience of my life. An awakening experience. Thank God I did this at the beginning of my career. Lots of personal insight.”
