Our strength

 

Your advantage

 

 

 

 

 

Focused

 

Our niche is financial services—commercial and investment banks worldwide, major U.S. regional banks, and boutique specialist firms.

 

We can pinpoint the issues of different groups, which means we can dissuade auditors from writing passively, push junior analysts out of elevator analysis, and show deal makers how to create a pitchbook.

 

 

 

 

 

Innovative

 

We trained with the world's leading language experts. Our methods wake up learners and make them excited about writing.

 

We do not waste time with canned materials or case studies. People become energized as they learn the tools to write well and write fast. And they make some amazing changes.

 

 

 

 

 

Skilled

 

We can handle all financial documents—
from simple e-mails to arcane econometric studies.

 

Writers are challenged to work in depth on their documents and to produce lasting improvements.

 

 

 

 

Established

We have trained some 12,000 professionals on Wall Street and around the world since the mid-1970s and are still at it.

 

Over 25 years of experience go into design and execution whether it's a single small-group workshop, a program for 200, or a private session for someone whose comments move markets.


 
Lee Gillespie and Lolly McIver, the principals, have created Lexicord's unique and successful position in the market.
 
Lee founded Lexicord during the 1974 recession and has guided Lexicord's growth since then. Her ability in Spanish, French and Italian has given a fine edge to the design of global programs for international banks. She was a Peace Corps volunteer in Morocco and has a master's degree in linguistics and language teaching from the School for International Training.

Lolly's skill at bringing out the best in writers is well known in financial circles. A senior equity analyst at a major house said," I never send out a document until it has been 'McIvered'." She has worked with thousands of bankers at every level in a firm. Lolly holds a master's degree in language teaching from Columbia University, was a Peace Corps volunteer in Malaysia and has trained teachers of English at Shandong University in the People's Republic of China.
