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

"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."

"As a result of the leadership program, I feel more confident and driven towards clearer objectives. I have learned to communicate better with my team and keep them engaged and accountable for their actions. I have learned to be more organized and finally delegated things that I thought only I could do. I am more organized, and I have found more time to do things for myself and for my family. I try to instill some of these habits in my children too. At work, because I have learned to delegate more, I have more time to organize and plan other projects and learn more about the operational aspects of the Credit Union which gives me a chance to grow professionally within the organization. I feel more confident when coaching my team and am trying to trust in them more in order to keep work and relationships flowing smoothly. I feel happier and less stressed out. The program was excellent. Laurie's leadership and coaching are a great example to follow."

"There were many changes in my leadership from this program, but most importantly increased patience (which is a landmark achievement in itself) and spending more time listening prior to making decisions. The program has given me the confidence to know that the techniques I am using to manage have proven, positive results. The reading material was one of the best parts of the program. Laurie was a great teacher and patient, and she provided a very comfortable environment to learn in."

"This was an excellent course and there is a lot to take away and apply not only work, but your personal life as well. I am much more confident in making decisions. The program has really helped open my eyes to things I never thought about when I first became a leader. I think everyone has something that they could learn from this course and apply to their work habits. Thank you to Laurie for her excellent course and helping me."

"I would rate this program a 10 out of 10. I am significantly more aware of the words/actions I use (or don't use) which directly affect my day-to-day relationships in life and my progress at work. Laurie has a fantastic approach to this type of training. This type of class is make or break depending on the tone set by the instructor. I have better sense of what leadership truly is. This allows me to identify an effective leader and also notice things that person does that makes them an effective 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."

“I would rate this program a 10; full of useful and practical information. I have a higher level of confidence when handling difficult situations and I found the group exercises to be very beneficial. I absolutely recommend this program because it allows managers to have al the information and tips to help best guide them through being a leader.”

"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.”

"This was an inspiring class. It really helped with personal growth. It was one of my best learning classes I have taken. I’ve been inspired to take it to the next level. I'm listening to others to build teams and employee growth. I would highly recommend this program to management level people."
