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

"As a result of the leadership program, I feel more confident and driven towards clearer objectives. I have learned to communicate better with my team and keep them engaged and accountable for their actions. I have learned to be more organized and finally delegated things that I thought only I could do. I am more organized, and I have found more time to do things for myself and for my family. I try to instill some of these habits in my children too. At work, because I have learned to delegate more, I have more time to organize and plan other projects and learn more about the operational aspects of the Credit Union which gives me a chance to grow professionally within the organization. I feel more confident when coaching my team and am trying to trust in them more in order to keep work and relationships flowing smoothly. I feel happier and less stressed out. The program was excellent. Laurie's leadership and coaching are a great example to follow."

“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 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 would rate this program a 10. If all leaders would work this way, the workplace would be so much better. Laurie is an amazing instructor and made the class fun. She kept everyone involved.”

"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.”

"This program was excellent. Crucial conversations aren't intimidating anymore, I am more detailed in my emails to others and my time management skills are much better. The program has helped me to look at situations differently. I have learned to be a productive worker and not a busy worker. My time management skills have allowed me to get more work accomplished during the day. I would recommend the program to anyone who is a leader. This program gives a positive view on how to see things/situation and shows you how to manage it properly."

"Since attending this program, I have made significant changes to my leadership style, and taken more of a coach approach. In doing so I have seen vast improvements from my direct reports...they are thinking for themselves! There were many things I like about the program. The open dialogue allowed for real life examples to be discussed, and the "Grow Work" assigned kept me accountable! My time management skills have improved, and I have shared some time management tricks with my staff that has helped them and their productivity. I found this program to be very empowering! Every time I left a class, I felt recharged and motivated. I feel like a better leader and would recommend it to anyone in a leadership position. I would give the program an 11 out of 10!"

"There were many changes in my leadership from this program, but most importantly increased patience (which is a landmark achievement in itself) and spending more time listening prior to making decisions. The program has given me the confidence to know that the techniques I am using to manage have proven, positive results. The reading material was one of the best parts of the program. Laurie was a great teacher and patient, and she provided a very comfortable environment to learn in."

"I am observing and coaching much more. And I feel like I am addressing any potential negative issues much faster. What I liked best about the program was the interaction with my co-workers, by far. Through this program, I learned a lot more about my co-workers, and myself. I would rate this program a 10! YES, I would recommend this program. It opens up the notion that we all have areas that require attention, and that there are ways to address those issues."
