“After LDI, I felt better equipped to deal with the issues and challenges I am facing as a manager. I now have a better understanding of what I need to do to become a leader in the media industry.”
--Jacqueline Sergeant, Promotions Manager, North Jersey Media Group
“My experience at LDI came along at a time when I was contemplating what type of future I could have in this industry. After attending, I began to think outside the box in terms of how my skills and experiences could help my company grow. The workshops, conversations, bits of advice and camaraderie, gave me the confidence I needed to sit down with my VP and write an action plan for my professional growth within the industry. This alone is priceless.”
--Vannetta Bailey-Iddrisu, Educational Services Manager, The Miami Herald Publishing Company
