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

“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 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."

"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."

“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 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.”

"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."

“Excellent program. I like that the program was very interactive, and we all had an opportunity to share our experiences and opinions. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.”

“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!”
