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

"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."

"This program was exactly what I needed with just getting into a management role. I wish I could take this every year to always keep the valuable information top of mind. Where do I begin to describe the best part of the program??? I feel I have become a confident manager who is pushing my employees to take more responsibility and also opening up the lines of communication with them to be the best leader I can to them. I only hope one day when they are asked which manager inspired them most...they think of me. Crucial Conversations was by far my weak area. I learned valuable skills that I hope make these difficult situations easier. I plan to keep the book that had to do with that session handy at all times. I completely recommend this program to anyone. Not only does this help you in your career but also in your personal life. Overall an amazing program. Thank you, Laurie, for such an excellent program."

"This program was amazing! I am managing my time equally among employees. The virtual program was fun. I’ve never delegated so much in my life without being afraid to. I’ve been able to manage time in my day better with prioritizing specific tasks. I believe all leaders should participate. Regardless of what level of leadership you are in, the tools learned will last a lifetime."

"I would give the leadership program a 20 out of a 10. Amazingly life changing! My time management improved and now when I coach, I actually get real results. It is great to see the team stronger than ever. I enjoyed our open discussions which allowed us to brainstorm and feed off of each other. My job has been easier during normal work hours. I know the importance of delegating and how to get more done effectively. The class is about growth within as a person and a leader. Please continue doing what you do. It was a blessing that I was able to attend. My life has been changed. Thank you!"

“This program is Amazing! Laurie allowed us the opportunity to help one another when a situation was presented to the class. She created an additional session on confidence for us…her flexibility in meeting the need of the class showed she cared about us being successful in achieving our goals. I absolutely recommend this program! This class will help you develop as a person. It’s evident that Laurie loves to empower people to be their best selves. Her passion displayed in the classes I’ve taken under her leadership has helped me to grow personally and professionally.”

"I would rate the program overall a 95 out of 100. I specifically liked how the program focused on each person as an individual. It allowed each person to dig deeper into their strengths, weaknesses and issues that are holding them back from business and most importantly personal success. Yes, I would recommend this program to anyone seeking to improve themselves. The timing for me was perfect, having just completed my MBA. The program covers ideas and topics not covered in my graduate degree that are essential."

"I received a lot of very timely and useful tools from this program that I will continue to use throughout my career. There are too many changes I have made to fit into this small response box. From time management to understanding when a conversation becomes crucial and how to handle that. I appreciated two main things. The additional resources provided so that I could continue learning about a subject and the in class atmosphere that allowed for open flowing conversations. I believe I can now handle most situations with tact and professionalism. I can hold people accountable now as well as have that crucial conversation. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone willing to continue learning throughout their career. It was very helpful. It exceeded my expectations. Thank You!!!"

“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.”

“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.
