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

“Laurie’s program is a must for any professional who is in, or aspires to be in, a leadership role. Laurie’s well-designed and insightful curriculum comes alive with her amazing ability to engage attendees across a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. I learned a ton about myself and my leadership style from the experience, and it has unquestionably made me a more thoughtful, engaged, and effective leader. I would absolutely recommend this program—I think this is one of the best courses I’ve attended on these topics. The investment in time and money is well worth it! ”

"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.”

“I would rate this program a 10—very interactive and informative. I have gained more confidence in my leadership skills, and I have found effective ways to get more work done and to address issues I have had. I have definitely learned how to become a better leader and better co-worker. Laurie is very knowledgeable. I did not realize all the wonderful tips and advice that I would learn and actually be able to contribute to my own life! In work and outside of work!”

"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 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 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."
