Their staff and facilitator demonstrated attention to detail, responsiveness, and professional courtesy.  The participants were thrilled with the outcome and rated the communication skills training workshop and the facilitator as our top workshop.

I’d highly recommend working with the LSA Global team to meet your professional development needs.”

The ability to communicate effectively is not a “soft skill” in any meaningful sense — it is a core driver of organizational performance, decision making, and strategy execution.

According to McKinsey research, strong communication practices can improve organizational productivity by up to 25%. Similarly, CMS Wire reports that companies with effective communication strategies are 3.5 times more likely to outperform their peers.

These findings align with what most leaders already see in practice: organizations operate through a constant flow of emails, meetings, messages, and conversations happening every day, at every level.

The real question is not whether communication is happening — it is how much of it is actually working.

In your experience, how many of those messages are truly:

  • Clear?
  • Concise?
  • Actionable?

Most professionals would likely respond: “Not many.”

And that gap carries a measurable cost. When communication is unclear or inefficient, it does not simply create frustration — it quietly drains productivity, slows decision-making, and increases the likelihood of rework and misalignment. Consider a few revealing data points:

  • 31% of employees report they never visit their organization’s internal intranet
  • 92% admit to deleting internal emails without opening or reading them
  • 75% feel they do not receive the information required to do their jobs effectively

Taken together, these figures point to a systemic issue: organizations are investing heavily in communication channels, but not necessarily in communication effectiveness. The result is information overload without information clarity.

Our communication skills training and consulting solutions have a proven track record of helping executives, teams, and individuals improve communication in four key areas:

We engaged LSA to design and deliver a 6-month custom executive coaching program to help a core group of senior leaders to leverage previous investments in management training, to ensure the engagement and retention of key employees, and to push critical strategic initiatives forward.

Even with the high expectations of our senior people, LSA has completely exceeded our expectations. You can’t go wrong with LSA.

What a refreshing change from the half-baked psycho-babble you normally get from training and consulting organizations. LSA gives you the practical and results-oriented assistance you need to define and reach your goals.

Their leadership, management, and sales expertise has been invaluable.  They think strategically and provide a results driven plan – not just a temporary fix.

They are great to work with, and even more importantly, they “get it!”

David Fiano
Director of Merchandising

LSA helped change our entire culture around meetings, making them more effective and efficient, thus enabling our leaders, managers, and teams to concentrate on driving more business.

Thank you!

I appreciate that each management development program is preceded by a thorough training needs assessment of the participants that informs a design to fit the specific parameters and needs of the group.

The highly interactive delivery is provided by recognized experts in their fields. On the spot coaching is provided during the program and each participant receives individual follow-up after the course.

Courses can be delivered in-person or virtually.

Given the nature of Cisco’s business and the way we operate, these remote workshops are a must for anyone who joins our company. Their work is eye opening. Great content and fantastic delivery.
