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

"I WOULD GIVE THIS PROGRAM AN A +++. Laurie was a patient, knowledgeable and easy-going instructor. I am eager to handle more difficult situations with confidence. Delegation! Delegation!..Delegation! :-) The best part of the program was open and honest feedback and group participation. The instructor Laurie gives real life experiences and helps you relate to a lot of problem areas that need to be addressed and how to go about it productively, professionally and confidently. I am able to continue to strengthen my coaching and mentoring skills and hold others accountable. Yes, I would recommend this program. It can be used as a foundation for those looking to transition into leadership positions and assist with current managers and leaders on how to deal with situations."

“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 leadership program was excellent - on a scale from 0 to a 10, a 10!! I acquired new skills to help me professionally and personally with setting goals and accomplishing things in a more timely and consistent manner. I learned improved strategies with facilitating more effective meetings, better delegation skills, identifying priorities, setting deadlines and timelines and improving the language of specificity. I would absolutely recommend this program. This is a program that is so beneficial to program Directors. Wish we had it sooner. It really helps the Director to mange resources and personnel more effectively. Great resources."

"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."

"Laurie always presents her topic in an understandable, informative and applicable way. Keep her coming back!"

"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."

"I read more books about leadership. I come to a consensus with my peers on our organizational goals. I have become closer to my management team. When I am feeling very unproductive, I go back to our books and timing my day out better. Having the books as a resource has also helped. I would recommend this program because it is very important to go through a program like this or you cannot move forward as a unit of managers. It is a chance to come together with a shared purpose, speak the same "language", have open crucial conversations, and learn about what similarities and differences you possess with your peers. Most importantly there is a trickle down affect that many if not all of the employees see and feel. I would rate this program a 9. I want to thank you for the opportunity and for being a great active listener."

"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."
