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

“This program has helped me become an overall better leader. I have grown over the course of this program as a person and a manager.”

"I have noticed that I am more open to initiating what may seem as a difficult conversation in order to have clarity. I am also making large strides in my organization skills. I appreciated the opportunity to receive honest feedback on various daily management challenges from such a diverse group of individuals and gain new perspective on my role within my organization. The tools provided in the reading materials are great resources. Also, after getting a clearer picture of management I am now able to make an informed decision on my management goals. This program provided the knowledge, insight, and tools necessary to build a sound leader within a company/organization. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate the program a solid 10."

"This program was outstanding. I am more focused on prioritizing tasks and planning my day rather than multi-tasking and being into so many different things at a time. I can actually block off a portion of my day and "eat the frog". I fully believe that attending his program will help me tremendously as I take over as President/CEO of Allegany County Teachers FCU. The program was a realistic insight into what "Leadership" is today and how important it is to lead by example and be more focused on the success of your team member because their success is success for the credit union. Laurie is phenomenal. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in this area and offers a different perspective....one that I have always believed in."

“I would rate this program a 10—very interactive and informative. I have gained more confidence in my leadership skills, and I have found effective ways to get more work done and to address issues I have had. I have definitely learned how to become a better leader and better co-worker. Laurie is very knowledgeable. I did not realize all the wonderful tips and advice that I would learn and actually be able to contribute to my own life! In work and outside of work!”

"This program was excellent. It is a well-rounded program for leaders at all levels to take a self-assessment and develop a plan for improvement to reach their goals as a leader. The program puts the tools in your hands so that you are able to continue making improvements to your leadership style long after the program is over."

“The leadership program with Laurie Maddalena was an excellent one. I found the program sessions to be very insightful. The materials were delivered with an extraordinary high level of passion and enthusiasm. Laurie took the time to make sure the concepts were very relatable and practical. The program has enabled me to be a better communicator, boosted my personal confidence and improved my emotional intelligence and its influence on others.”

“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.”

"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."
