MLD has client practices that it has visited and supported continually for decades helping them through growth, expansion, and retraining with a comfortable knowledge of what they desire and need in a unique on-going and personal basis.

Being in the international speaking forum allows MLD and Mr. Clark the ability to bring ideas, concepts, and applications from the thought leaders from both the US and around the world. Thousands have found MLD an indispensable part of their ongoing needs and development.
