Mary Butler and Sam Sikes, our Founders

This isn’t our job, it’s our heritage.

As a company, we trace our roots to two co-founders who shared a passion for learning and relationships. Mary Butler and Sam Sikes worked together at Shadow Mountain Institute’s Challenge Quest, a program providing experience-based team building and leadership training, when they discovered the opportunity to form their own company. Mary and Sam eagerly accepted the challenge, and in 1993, Learning Unlimited Corporation (LUC) was formed.

Learning Unlimited provides customized training and leadership development services to organizations worldwide. We attribute our success to several factors: our deeply held core values, our own dedicated and capable leaders, the industry’s most dynamic and effective facilitators, and our combination of experiential processes with proven people development methodologies and models.

Our Mission sounds simple, but it’s a strenuous process we’re perfecting daily:

To cause people to think, feel and change by creating dynamic learning environments for interpersonal and organizational development.

The LU Team!
Our Core Values are the life values each of us brings to work. These are values we believe to be so fundamental that we stand by them without regret and, sometimes, to our own competitive disadvantage.

  • Working Hard & Giving Full Value
  • Honesty, Integrity, Respect
  • Loyalty
  • A Spirit of Abundance & Goodwill
  • Life-long Learning
  • Honoring what people already know
  • Creativity
Our beliefs or “Whys” guide our work. Beliefs about human potential, about the drivers of individual and organizational performance, about the power of leadership all come into play.
