LKM is a group of bright and bold individuals who work for open communications, effective ideas for our clients and deep connections with customers. Let's begin. In a world where connectivity is an inescapable fact, how can this be? This paradox rests on two truths. Often, preconceptions and even language are barriers to meaning. Secondly, the daily torrent of information overwhelms the mind and drives us to trust the older and surer emotional centers of our being. Provide two or more people a common language and in almost no time they will share ideas beyond the predetermined axis and work to give greater meaning to information. Creativity from the hip is ubiquitous in a go-go society. But too much effort is spent retaking the same ground with each other because insufficient effort was spent being clear about goals and assuring empathy is in place. Without empathy, effectiveness is diminished.
