“…One of the top 3 speakers I’ve heard in 15 years…”

"This program was excellent. I feel that I have become a better listener and am more thoughtful in how I handle conversations and especially conflict. I have learned how better to handle important conversations with tact and remove as much "emotion" as possible. Additionally, I have learned how important it is for employees to hear feedback on a regular basis and have made more attempts to provide without being asked. I have also been more consistent with holding myself accountable and doing what I say I am going to do. The interaction and open conversations about various scenarios and challenges was the best part of the program. Using techniques in real situations rather than following along in a textbook. It's a practical program that is easy to follow and apply to real-world situations."

"Laurie always presents her topic in an understandable, informative and applicable way. Keep her coming back!"

“This program was incredible-a 10. Laurie is priceless.”

"This program had a lot of great tools, it was well paced where I didn't feel talked at and felt engaged. I enjoyed the atmosphere, getting to know people I would not have met otherwise. Laurie created an atmosphere where there was no judgement or embarrassment to talk about issues. This program has given me tools to create new habits to help improve how I approach situations and plan my day. Yes, these tools help you grow not only in a work environment but in a personal environment. They aren't exclusive to just your career which makes them useful in more ways than one. I think the program is well planned and the reading material helps solidify the class lessons."

"This class was great—I would rate it a 10. I liked how we learned about all of the different personalities and values that people have and how we all learn differently and how to work better with others. I’m more confident in everyday life, and I'm not as stressed when handling difficult conversations.”

"The overall program was excellent. Sharing everyone's real life experiences and how they implemented some of the techniques and information was very helpful. The reading assignments were excellent. I feel more confident in my leadership abilities and feel equipped to be able to deal with whatever new leadership related challenges that may come my way. What I liked best about the program were the interaction and group discussions, and sharing of real-life experiences. The program has made me more aware of my time and how to better prepare and organize my daily activities. I've had many 'aha' moments on when and where I could apply some of the principles learned in the classroom. Yes, I would recommend this program. The class and the material (books and hand outs) are very useful and are things that you could review and fall back on frequently. Excellent resources. Great Class, Great Instructor."

“Laurie was an excellent teacher and moderator, and my group was engaged the whole time. Empowerment is the word I keep coming back to. I have more confidence interacting with my team in a more managerial capacity. Thank you, Laurie!”

"This was an excellent course and there is a lot to take away and apply not only work, but your personal life as well. I am much more confident in making decisions. The program has really helped open my eyes to things I never thought about when I first became a leader. I think everyone has something that they could learn from this course and apply to their work habits. Thank you to Laurie for her excellent course and helping me."
