Training Localization Solutions

"From my very first meeting with the LCW team, I knew my project would get the attention it deserved. Not only were they passionate about what they do, but they were clearly knowledgeable and experienced. I felt comfortable putting our needs in their hands."



"Over the years, I have come to trust LCW to do whatever it takes to get things done and get it done correctly. We consider them an invaluable resource, working as part of our team."



"When we made the choice to go with LCW, we got so much more than what we originally asked for. Many companies could have done the training and translation we needed, but then walked away. With LCW, it's clear that they share our enthusiasm for making sure our programs are quality and well-communicated to our employees worldwide. They go the extra mile to make sure things really work."



"LCW's team turns each experience into a learning opportunity-for us and for them in terms of understanding our business-finding ways to improve each individual training and make our larger program work more smoothly. As problems arise or when our scope changes, I can depend on them to be attentive problem-solvers. LCW is as flexible as I need them to be, and they are willing to go outside of the usual parameters to be helpful-working for us as part of our team-and I know things will be delivered on time."



"I really value the personal touch I get. I like the fact that when I call, I don't have to say this is [Ms. XYZ] from [Company ABC], because they know me."



"When I told LCW we needed a trainer in the Ivory Coast of Africa, not only did they find us one quickly, but even more amazing, their trainer had the expertise we were looking for. Whatever we throw at them, LCW comes through for us every time."



"We have a complex compliance program which has to work worldwide. We consider LCW an invaluable resource for making our compliance program work internationally."



"LCW turns each experience with our overseas locations into a learning opportunity--for us and for them--finding ways to improve each individual training and make our larger program work better."



"I grew up an Iowa farm girl. The last thing on my mind was what our German office would think about the style of presentation I was designing, or what a day in the life of a South American factory worker was like. LCW has been a tremendous resource in helping me to understand the different cultures of [our] global workforce. It has been an eye opening experience."



"As a result of working with LCW over the past year, I have become a better advocate for the company in communicating the compliance program to employees in Europe and South America. Now other departments are also looking for ways to improve their international programs."



"LCW is always there for us. Even on our most difficult projects, they are two or three steps ahead."



"Immediate results -- if I give LCW a document for translation, it's done when I need it."



"If there needs to be a change, LCW is on top of it immediately. For example, when I found out from our South American auditor that a piece of information being delivered to our locations there wasn't accurate -- I called LCW and their trainer incorporated the change into trainings for Paraguay the very next day. Whatever we throw at them, LCW comes through for us every time."


 

Intercultural Development Programs

"ALL associates that will be working closely with associates in India must attend this  workshop if our global sourcing efforts are to be successful. Personally, this will FUNDAMENTALLY change how I interact and work with associates in (India.)                              - Technology outsourcing manager about our Building Bridges: Working & Communicating Effectively with India ^TM program.

"On behalf of [my wife] and myself, I wanted to thank you for the two day course. It was extremely beneficial to us and helped to answer a lot of questions as well as calm some fears. I notice a marked difference in [my wife's] attitude towards moving to Brazil. I think she now sees it more as an adventure and not as something to dread."
-Executive relocating to Brazil



"An excellent program which provided deep insights into the U.K. culture. [Our trainer] allowed the program to evolve naturally rather than adhere to a set schedule. Such adaptability created an environment which was conducive for learning."
-Executive relocating to the U.K.

"I was absolutely thrilled with this (Building Bridges India) class and can't wait to roll it out to the associates. I think it will really open some eyes and help move from the "storming" phase of team building to "norming". I really feel like this class can positively impact our relationship with our co-workers in Gurgaon. Better relationships will allow for more idea sharing and open discussions that will positively impact our business results."                           - Technology outsourcing manager about our Building Bridges: Working & Communicating Effectively with India ^TM program.

"I'm really not tooting my own horn, I'm tooting yours! In a note to my supervisor, the Fortune 500 client who organized our trip to Mexico said: 'I feel that Stacy contributed so much and her training skills and ability to communicate across cultures were such an asset to the team... She is vital to the success of the BridgePoint implementation for us and I look forward to many more travels in the future.' Language & Culture is to thank for that!! Homerun! Muchas gracias!"

"I really enjoyed the time we spent with our trainer because she was knowledgeable and "down-to-earth". Monica helped us not only think about what we would be experiencing as individuals in a new culture but also helped us think about their history and mindset. She also put a lot of information in our hands through conversation, websites, software, and books. Including recommendations for videos. I did not choose an 'excellent' rating for this program carelessly."
-Executive's spouse relocating to the U.K.



"The instructor did a great job to identify my needs and address them. Her explanations based on her deep understanding and experience helped me understand the new culture well. She was very well prepared, too. Thank you so much for this class."
-Executive relocating to the U.S. from Japan



"[Our trainer] is a fantastic resource, very approachable and sensitive to cultural learning needs--both obvious and less obvious."
-Executive relocating to Portugal

"It's very useful for me in my first month in the USA in understanding history, traditions and what I should and should not do. Thank you!"
