Testimonials
“Rod is a world class trainer…. leveraged his detailed experiences in the US mortgage crisis….. Rod can
be relied upon to deliver interactive training with real examples, case studies and simulations. He
attracts senior subject matter experts to join the faculty thus ensuring excellent results. I can thoroughly
recommend his work.”
– Nic Couldrey, Head of Credit Operations, Barclays Bank
“I’ve known Rod for some 15 years having worked with him in 2 different organizations. In both
organizations, he was in charge of Risk Training and I was a trainer for several of the courses run by
him. Clearly well versed in his field - he not only put together the course material but also organized the
courses very well indeed. The courses included those for senior staff and got very high approval ratings
from participants. Rod is a pleasure to interact with and his sense of humour is legendary for many of us
who were fortunate to work with him.”
- Shantanu Mitra, CEO, Fullerton India

Protocol
We have all of the elements for comprehensive, effective training programs.
• Quality training materials covering sound risk management principles
• Case studies teaching skills and lessons learned through experience
• Management simulations for gaming toward profitability
• Internal subject matter expertise which brings credibility to the offering.
We also help clients to become more self-sufficient in course delivery, through an instructor base of
knowledgeable internal subject matter experts. Instructors complete a one day Train-The-Trainer
including:
• Presentation skills and more importantly, the art of interactive learning
• Video sessions & immediate coaching in a non-threatening atmosphere
• Skills certification useful in other forms of professional communication.
It all adds up to a trio of compatible tools for a robust learning experience:
1. Certified trainers generate participant interaction in the classroom by drawing participants into
discussions on lecture materials
2. Case studies created from past experiences within the company bring real life examples that are
compatible with the lectures
3. Simulation moves participants toward a numbers based discipline to maximize results.
And they have fun in the process.
Should the client desire external expertise, LFI can draw from a global network of lifetime risk
management professionals who serve as freelance trainers.
The results?
Participants leave with a sound understanding of risk and a network of contacts.
Senior management sees the value and becomes key to the process.
Becoming a subject matter expert (SME) trainer places managers in an elite category of mentorship in
the organization.
