Lakin Associates is a group of psychologists who help companies do a better job of selecting and developing managers. It is not easy to see which candidate is the best one for the company or to tell which person is ready for promotion. Dr. Duane Lakin and his colleagues interview and test candidates for key positions in companies to help make such decisions easier for the hiring executive. They also assist in developing individuals and teams through training and individual coaching.
Dr. Lakin also teaches NLP skills to selling professionals across the US, Canada, and Great Britain. He leads NLP-based sales training in customized formats and through public workshops called "The Unfair Advantage, Sell with NLP!". The Unfair Advantage is also available to individuals in a workbook format. More information can be seen at Sales training NLP for Sales. A free sampler of the NLP training program can be found by contacting Dr. Lakin at drlakin@lakinassociates.com. For those who prefer to learn by listening, an audiobook of "The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP!" is also available. Click the links on the home page for more information.

He has written scripts for telemarketing campaigns for Xerox, Nissan, Bell Mobility, Manitoba Telephone, and Pacific Bell among others.
