If you're growing fast and integrating acquisitions, I highly recommend LXU!"

I highly recommend this program for anyone wanting to raise the bar for themselves and their career."
Director, Support Services

"The live sessions with other leaders, online content, and direct access to Riv makes for a fantastic combination of leadership experience that is challenging to find elsewhere. Riv’s take on “Common sense is not always common practice” struck a chord with me, and I try to apply that concept daily. Would definitely recommend LXU for all levels of leadership!"
Manager, Digital Solutions Architecture

"Riv has a way of taking concepts that most people intuitively understand and transforming them into a tool that can be immediately applied to both your professional and personal life."
Director, Data Center Solution Architecture
Jason McKenry
"Personally, I’m really happy this program was offered to me. I can’t imagine if I would have passed it up. Riv is part mentor, part coach, part psychologist - all wrapped up into a ball of Italian energy that spews gold. F*ck yeah!"
