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

“This program was a 10!! I have much improved my skill set, leadership, and personal ways of life. Laurie is personable—top of the best!”

“This program is a definite 10! The instructions along with the personal guidance and suggestions are excellent. You really learn a lot about yourself.”

“Excellent program. I like that the program was very interactive, and we all had an opportunity to share our experiences and opinions. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.”

"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."

"Excellent program! I have improved my confidence, planning, and relationships with employees. I plan my time more efficiently. Communicate better with everyone. The program was organized and well thought out. I would recommend the program because it’s easy to follow along and learn a multitude of skills to make you better at being a leader. Laurie is an exceptional leader!"

"Loved it! Laurie is an engaging speaker who provided good information on how to be a better leader. I wish there was more time to hear from her."

"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."

"I could not have asked for a better time to be a participant in this class. I was promoted from a supervisor to a manager mid-way through this course. The program helped my put a lot of things in perspective and I am much more confident as a manager. I definitely recommend this training. I have read (and listened to) a lot of books on self-help, organization and management. There is a lot of information out there and this class helped me take a lot of the fundamentals and finally put them to use. Being able to connect with others and share experiences is something you cannot get from a book alone. It was a pleasure meeting Laurie and learning so much from her. I am grateful for having the opportunity to participate. I also have a small library of great resources to reference back to when I come across new challenges"

"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.”
