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

"I WOULD GIVE THIS PROGRAM AN A +++. Laurie was a patient, knowledgeable and easy-going instructor. I am eager to handle more difficult situations with confidence. Delegation! Delegation!..Delegation! :-) The best part of the program was open and honest feedback and group participation. The instructor Laurie gives real life experiences and helps you relate to a lot of problem areas that need to be addressed and how to go about it productively, professionally and confidently. I am able to continue to strengthen my coaching and mentoring skills and hold others accountable. Yes, I would recommend this program. It can be used as a foundation for those looking to transition into leadership positions and assist with current managers and leaders on how to deal with situations."

“Laurie is a fantastic coach and mentor! The program was excellent. I have been more aware and purposeful in my approach to managing. I feel so much more confident and capable as a manager. The mix of real, relevant topics from time management to engaging and coaching employees, effective delegation, and navigating difficult conversations are so helpful to new managers and a great reminder and practice for seasoned managers.”

"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."

"The class provided me with many tools to lead at a much higher level. The books and insight into what has worked for other top professionals has opened my eyes in many ways. I'm able to also provide guidance and education to other managers. I am much more in tune with what my role as a leader is and have focused much more time on my employee's development. I have also learned my shortcomings as it relates to accountability and time management and have put the tools into place to improve and develop these skills. Laurie did an excellent job of bringing real world (and personal) examples into the training and it really helped me to understand the concepts and how the tools work. I have successfully promoted an employee to take on additional higher level responsibilities and I give this program 100% credit for that. This program provided excellent resources and tools to improve management skills."

“This program was excellent; well balanced between teaching/coaching and individual participation/study/activity. I would absolutely recommend this program. Every manager or aspiring leader should be required to attend a program like this. Laurie is a fantastic facilitator, teacher, coach—High, High recommendations!”

“This program was wonderful, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would absolutely recommend this program. Laurie did such an amazing job of leading and coaching us while also holding us accountable before every session to actually put something in motion. It’s clear that Laurie does not want the participants to just check the box but to leave with skills that are practical and feasible to implement.”

"I would give the leadership program a 20 out of a 10. Amazingly life changing! My time management improved and now when I coach, I actually get real results. It is great to see the team stronger than ever. I enjoyed our open discussions which allowed us to brainstorm and feed off of each other. My job has been easier during normal work hours. I know the importance of delegating and how to get more done effectively. The class is about growth within as a person and a leader. Please continue doing what you do. It was a blessing that I was able to attend. My life has been changed. Thank you!"

"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."

"On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it an 11. I've noticed that I am more of aware and better able to recognize certain situations, which in turn allows me to have a better response. For example, recognizing the differences between when to coach and when to teach or when a conversation becomes a crucial conversation. The skills learned can be applied to all aspects of life, which to me make them significantly more value and more likely to be practiced on a daily basis. My position at the CU has changed dramatically since the beginning of the program and I almost feel like thanks to the different modules we covered I actually have a head start on dealing with my new responsibilities and more specifically dealing with my new staff. I would absolutely recommend this program. I would recommend it to anyone in a position of management, anyone interested in a position of management or even any parents! These are skills that can be applied in so many ways that it would impossible not to benefit in one way or another. Awesome class Laurie. I enjoyed this more than any leadership/coaching training we've done to date. I think you've found your calling."
