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

“I would rate this program a 10—very interactive and informative. I have gained more confidence in my leadership skills, and I have found effective ways to get more work done and to address issues I have had. I have definitely learned how to become a better leader and better co-worker. Laurie is very knowledgeable. I did not realize all the wonderful tips and advice that I would learn and actually be able to contribute to my own life! In work and outside of work!”

"This program was excellent. It is a well-rounded program for leaders at all levels to take a self-assessment and develop a plan for improvement to reach their goals as a leader. The program puts the tools in your hands so that you are able to continue making improvements to your leadership style long after the program is over."

It was a great and informative workshop. It was a good way to understand myself better. Yes, because it gives you a different perspective of the mind. I am so fascinated with my mind and unlocking my brain to be better. Learning the root cause of my emotions is key to understanding.

"I would rate this program an A+++. I feel that I will be an "improved" leader now but even better in the future. Specific skills related to crucial conversations, meetings, and coaching were especially helpful. I am more reflective about what I do and how to do it. The best part of the program was the organized lectures with supporting books. The interactions of the participants and sharing ideas!"

"This program was very wonderful and insightful. I would recommend this leadership program to everyone. As times change, so have the habits of motivating employees. The framework and methodology that are taught in this course will give you a newer prospective and approaches to bring the best out of individuals you work with. The main change I can contribute to this leadership development program is how to deal with the emotional aspect of leadership."

"I read more books about leadership. I come to a consensus with my peers on our organizational goals. I have become closer to my management team. When I am feeling very unproductive, I go back to our books and timing my day out better. Having the books as a resource has also helped. I would recommend this program because it is very important to go through a program like this or you cannot move forward as a unit of managers. It is a chance to come together with a shared purpose, speak the same "language", have open crucial conversations, and learn about what similarities and differences you possess with your peers. Most importantly there is a trickle down affect that many if not all of the employees see and feel. I would rate this program a 9. I want to thank you for the opportunity and for being a great active listener."

“Laurie’s session was amazing. I was able to apply the concepts I learned almost immediately! I feel rejuvenated within my job and organization, and even at home. I would absolutely recommend Laurie’s sessions. There is so much information that is beneficial for anyone in any form of leadership position. I loved the workshop, and I am really looking forward to future programs!”

"This program was outstanding. I am more focused on prioritizing tasks and planning my day rather than multi-tasking and being into so many different things at a time. I can actually block off a portion of my day and "eat the frog". I fully believe that attending his program will help me tremendously as I take over as President/CEO of Allegany County Teachers FCU. The program was a realistic insight into what "Leadership" is today and how important it is to lead by example and be more focused on the success of your team member because their success is success for the credit union. Laurie is phenomenal. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in this area and offers a different perspective....one that I have always believed in."

“This was an amazing program; great content and good camaraderie among the class. It was a very thorough program and a great experience.”
