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

"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."

“This program was a 10 out of 10. It is the best introduction to leadership practices and the mindset of a leader I have experienced.”

"This program was amazing! I am managing my time equally among employees. The virtual program was fun. I’ve never delegated so much in my life without being afraid to. I’ve been able to manage time in my day better with prioritizing specific tasks. I believe all leaders should participate. Regardless of what level of leadership you are in, the tools learned will last a lifetime."

"This program was excellent. I gained a lot of knowledge to use in my leadership role. I learned ways to implement being a leader and making my staff accountable. I would definitely recommend the program. The instructor was able to "teach" and "explain" the aspects of the program. Thanks, Laurie!"

“The leadership program with Laurie Maddalena was an excellent one. I found the program sessions to be very insightful. The materials were delivered with an extraordinary high level of passion and enthusiasm. Laurie took the time to make sure the concepts were very relatable and practical. The program has enabled me to be a better communicator, boosted my personal confidence and improved my emotional intelligence and its influence on others.”

“I would absolutely recommend this program! I loved everything about it—the content, the different assessments, the conversations and the books and recommendations. The best part has to be learning from Laurie. She is amazing, very personable and easy to talk to, she is also a world of knowledge and enjoys sharing it and helping others which I really admire and thank her for. This program has helped me a lot in getting to know and understand myself and how I can affect others. It has also taught me the importance of leading with action and being intentional in everything I do. It taught me that I am not a fixer but a facilitator and to lead by example! I am having better coaching sessions with my team, have improved my self-confidence and relationship with others, learned how to have difficult conversations, and created healthy habits to enrich my personal and professional life. I would rate this program an 11 out of 10!”

"I received a lot of very timely and useful tools from this program that I will continue to use throughout my career. There are too many changes I have made to fit into this small response box. From time management to understanding when a conversation becomes crucial and how to handle that. I appreciated two main things. The additional resources provided so that I could continue learning about a subject and the in class atmosphere that allowed for open flowing conversations. I believe I can now handle most situations with tact and professionalism. I can hold people accountable now as well as have that crucial conversation. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone willing to continue learning throughout their career. It was very helpful. It exceeded my expectations. Thank You!!!"

“I would rate this program a 10. I have gained more self-awareness. The materials were great, and Laurie was a great instructor. I also enjoyed the other participants and their insights.”

“This program was phenomenal. I loved everything about it. I absolutely recommend this program. I was so informative, and the information can be used in everyday situations, not just at work. This class went way above my expectations.”
