LRI helped us experience a real change in the way that we do planning and resolve problems. It made it possible for us to say exactly what we wanted to say, and for others to hear exactly what we said. Looking back, I wonder why we didn’t do this before.
James H Clark, Director and Publisher
University of California Press
The process LRI took us through was remarkable in several ways. First, LRI gave us a road map and directed us through a very complicated situation. The end result was a detailed, but easily comprehended, set of guidelines to inform our decision making. What was particularly impressive, given the complexity of the task, was LRI’s ability to keep us on schedule and operate within budget. The process only took 10 weeks from start to finish.

Leading Resources was instrumental in leading us through challenging strategic decisions. Eric Douglas was masterful in balancing his role as facilitator and corporate advisor. I would recommend LRI to anyone.
John Chaquica, CEO
Bickmore Risk Services
I would highly recommend Eric Douglas as an executive coach. His knowledge and experience as a coach were invaluable to me during a critical period of organizational change. He pushed me to ask challenging questions about myself and my organization that led to improved effectiveness. And his guidance was invaluable as I made strategic decisions that took into account the fluid landscape, windows of opportunity, and greater connection and collaboration with other groups.

We loved working with LRI. Their whole approach is results-driven, and their consultants really know their stuff. It was amazing how much we got done. Our executive team now has a richer and clearer understanding of what we need to do to succeed.
John Nicolaus, Principal Architect
HLA Group
We used LRI to assist our agency with an employee assessment survey this summer. LRI was very accommodating and easy to work with. BOE is very happy to be a client and will use LRI’s expertise again.
Lou Bender, Manager
California State Board of Equalization
I would encourage any CEO to go through this process. In a very short time, we were able to clarify our expectations and unify the staff around common goals. Now, we have consensus about the next steps we need to take and performance metrics that will let us know when we reach our goals. We’ve really moved forward as an organization.

Based on their work with public broadcasting CEOs, LRI’s expertise is a must for any organization that wants and needs to resolve tough issues.

LRI is outstanding! Eric Douglas led the Sacramento Ballet through a challenging project of developing its first-ever comprehensive written strategic plan at a critical junction in the history of the organization. Eric’s leadership skills were superb as he worked to enlist the support of all stakeholders and facilitated discussions that allowed the organization to put into words its hopes and dreams for the next several years, while helping the project team remain focused on keeping the objectives realistic, achievable and measurable. I highly recommend LRI without any reservation.
