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

“I would rate this program a 10. I have gained more self-awareness. The materials were great, and Laurie was a great instructor. I also enjoyed the other participants and their insights.”

"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."

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

“I would rate this program a 10. If all leaders would work this way, the workplace would be so much better. Laurie is an amazing instructor and made the class fun. She kept everyone involved.”

“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 would absolutely recommend this program! I loved everything about it—the content, the different assessments, the conversations and the books and recommendations. The best part has to be learning from Laurie. She is amazing, very personable and easy to talk to, she is also a world of knowledge and enjoys sharing it and helping others which I really admire and thank her for. This program has helped me a lot in getting to know and understand myself and how I can affect others. It has also taught me the importance of leading with action and being intentional in everything I do. It taught me that I am not a fixer but a facilitator and to lead by example! I am having better coaching sessions with my team, have improved my self-confidence and relationship with others, learned how to have difficult conversations, and created healthy habits to enrich my personal and professional life. I would rate this program an 11 out of 10!”

"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."

“I would rate this program a 10+; very informative and eye opening. Laurie is fantastic and does a great job initiating group engagement. I’m definitely more aware of my role as a leader in general and have adjusted how I approach certain situation to be a better leader from the start. Thank you for your leadership and insight. I found this training to be very beneficial and am certain that I will become a better leader as a result.”

"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."
