Nicholas Mathieson
I have had the pleasure of working with Lindsey for several years during her tenure as Regional Director in both the South and West China regions, as well as in her previous roles as Regional Director in the North and West China regions Throughout her time with our organization, Lindsey consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership abilities and a strong commitment to excellence. Lindsey's multi-location management of academic teams across various cities showcased her exceptional organizational skills and ability to effectively oversee and support teams in diverse locations. She consistently ensured that academic leadership received the necessary training and support to drive business results, collaborating closely with operations and sales teams. Her dedication to compliance checking and maintaining high academic standards was evident in her meticulous attention to detail and thoroughness. One of Lindsey's greatest strengths is her ability to build strong teams within centers. She excels in talent development, recognizing and nurturing the potential of her team members. Her leadership style fosters a positive and collaborative work environment, where individuals feel valued and motivated to achieve their best. Lindsey's commitment to building cohesive and high-performing teams has had a significant impact on the success of our organization. Throughout her various roles, Lindsey consistently displayed strong administrative skills, including scheduling and other organizational duties. Her ability to balance multiple responsibilities and meet deadlines is commendable, and she approaches every task with professionalism and attention to detail. In summary, Lindsey possesses exceptional leadership abilities, a strong commitment to excellence, and a genuine passion for talent development. Her contributions to our organization have been invaluable, and I have no doubt that she will bring the same level of dedication, skill, and enthusiasm to any endeavor she pursues. I wholeheartedly recommend Lindsey for any professional opportunity and am confident that she will excel in her future endeavors.

In the 2 years that Lindsey was our regional manager, I was able to learn so much from her thanks to her guidance and mentorship. She exhibited natural leadership ability and fostered a culture based on support, positivity, and growth. As a teacher, she helped me develop my style and refine my abilities. Lindsey was methodical when it came to the improvement of class quality and ensuring all of the teachers in our region were meeting our standards. She provided detailed feedback with practical advice on how to ameliorate several aspects of our job. As a manager, she taught me how to lead with empathy while being results-driven. She was able to see the potential people had for leadership and help cultivate it effortlessly. She pushed her staff to meet their potential. I would highly recommend Lindsey.
