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

"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.”

“I would rate a perfect 10 for the leadership program. Not only were our course materials well organized, but our instructor did an impeccable job teaching and explaining the course materials for all to understand. I have definitely benefited from this program. I have more self-awareness of my leadership abilities and have learned how to refine them so I can become one of the great leaders.”

"I learned different positive approaches to mentor/coach the team and bring out the best in each and every one of the team members. The leadership program gave me a new perspective/totally different view about reprimanding a staff/team member. A leader's job is to make the employees successful and bring out the best in them. I would definitely recommend the program; it was excellent. Laurie is great trainer, and I had a lot to learn. The books were all great and the resources were excellent."

“This program was very well thought out and expertly presented. I have become more self-aware as to what affects my behaviors and reactions to situations with others. Laurie’s insights were very eye opening at times. I think I will be able to use these new ideas to dramatically effect change in my organization. I would highly recommend Laurie’s program. She presents ideas in an engaging manner and asks other participants for their input as well. Thank you for a great class. I will definitely be using many of these skills in the promotion I just received.”

"This program was a 10 out of 10! I liked how it was all about me as a leader. It gives you a good sense of who you are which allows you to help and build others. I am more confident in my ability to have conversations and make decisions. I would recommend this program in a heartbeat. This was the best training I've ever had, and I've been to many trainings!”

"The Future Leaders program was excellent. I learned that coaching an employee can be fun and positive, and how to coach an employee who isn't meeting standards without being negative. I learned about what I need to work on to be a successful leader, as well as in my personal life. I really like the fact that Laurie included herself in a lot of the topics and shared examples of her experiences as a leader.”

“Amazing program! I’m much more focused and intentional with leadership and management. There is so much information that is beneficial for anyone in any form of leadership position. I loved the workshops, and am really looking forward to future programs!”

"My time management and delegation have improved immensely. The best part of the program was learning the tools to manage up and have synergy with staff to also manage up and provide coaching tools for growth. I have a better understanding of the power in effective communication in various situations and seek to find solutions to everyday challenges from my peers and leaders. I also gained a greater handle on the importance of asking open ended questions in problem solving. The program was excellent!! I would rate it highly for individuals looking to grow in their leadership and management capabilities. I was very thankful for the readings as well as the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with the management team. Every o should use this program!! I enjoyed the program and look forward to our next sessions in the future. Many thanks Laurie - it was definitely a value added experience!"

"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."
