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

"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."

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 always learn something that I can take back to the office and use immediately. Laurie is an excellent presenter!"

"I give this program a 10 out of 10. Great course overall. Laurie condensed a lot of information into a concise syllabus. Everything was well thought out and organized and the supplemental material given was a great resource for building on classroom sessions. I have focused on the strengths finder and leadership assessments, and have taken points from those and am working on implementing them in my leadership. Implementing the modern leadership techniques that were taught will greatly increase my effectiveness as a new leader. This course has created a more rapid growth in my leadership skills."

"As a result of this program, I have noticed that I am more aware of the impact that I contribute to the organization. I try to make sure that I'm more prepared when leading meetings, having performance discussions, and interacting with my peers and executives. I liked the fact that this program allowed us to be extremely honest with one other. I think that Laurie did a great job facilitating discussions and having us to commit to takeaways at the end of each session. I've benefited tremendously because I'm more in tune with my leadership style and key results areas. It's made me think more deeply about what I want to do as leader and how that can impact all aspects of my life. I would give this program a 9. I would recommend this program, because it provides a platform to evaluate your peer relationships, your communication style, your strengths as a leader, and how efficient you are in achieving your goals. I thoroughly enjoyed this program, and I'd like to reach out to Laurie as often as I can as a mentor."

“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!”

"I like how the program was outlined, covering specific topics at a time and then the last session recapping all the information covered previously. As a result of this program, I focus more on my key result areas. I hold conversations differently; I ask questions that promote more specific answers and I practice reflective listening. By focusing on my key result areas, I feel more productive. The leadership program reminded us that being an effective leader has nothing to do with a person's title or position in a company. I would absolutely recommend this program."

"The leadership program was excellent - on a scale from 0 to a 10, a 10!! I acquired new skills to help me professionally and personally with setting goals and accomplishing things in a more timely and consistent manner. I learned improved strategies with facilitating more effective meetings, better delegation skills, identifying priorities, setting deadlines and timelines and improving the language of specificity. I would absolutely recommend this program. This is a program that is so beneficial to program Directors. Wish we had it sooner. It really helps the Director to mange resources and personnel more effectively. Great resources."

"The best part of the program was the trainer, our leader Laurie. Absolutely knowledgeable and able to relate to our issues. Although never having to work in childcare, it was great to see that leadership skills cross many job areas and we all can relate and share our experiences. I also really like all the resources and the weekly email of handouts to prepare before for class each week. I am more knowledgeable on the importance of leadership and how it is the key to whether your business is successful or not. The most important change for me is to not take my leadership role for granted and negate its importance. This course has given me many solutions and ideas on how to improve and maintain my leadership style. These leadership skills have been imprinted in my brain and I have the resources to look for answers if I ever have a question or need to review. The program met and exceeded my needs perfectly. I would rate the program 10...with 10 being the best. It was a great experience. I look forward to another workshop with Laurie."
