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

"You hit a grand slam with this speaker. The topic was relevant, and Laurie did an outstanding job conveying the most important parts in the time allotted. It's rare to walk away with so much from a one hour session. Bravo!"

"Since attending this program, I have made significant changes to my leadership style, and taken more of a coach approach. In doing so I have seen vast improvements from my direct reports...they are thinking for themselves! There were many things I like about the program. The open dialogue allowed for real life examples to be discussed, and the "Grow Work" assigned kept me accountable! My time management skills have improved, and I have shared some time management tricks with my staff that has helped them and their productivity. I found this program to be very empowering! Every time I left a class, I felt recharged and motivated. I feel like a better leader and would recommend it to anyone in a leadership position. I would give the program an 11 out of 10!"

"There were many changes in my leadership from this program, but most importantly increased patience (which is a landmark achievement in itself) and spending more time listening prior to making decisions. The program has given me the confidence to know that the techniques I am using to manage have proven, positive results. The reading material was one of the best parts of the program. Laurie was a great teacher and patient, and she provided a very comfortable environment to learn in."

“This was an amazing program; great content and good camaraderie among the class. It was a very thorough program and a great experience.”

"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 excellent; well balanced between teaching/coaching and individual participation/study/activity. I would absolutely recommend this program. Every manager or aspiring leader should be required to attend a program like this. Laurie is a fantastic facilitator, teacher, coach—High, High recommendations!”

“Laurie is a fantastic coach and mentor! The program was excellent. I have been more aware and purposeful in my approach to managing. I feel so much more confident and capable as a manager. The mix of real, relevant topics from time management to engaging and coaching employees, effective delegation, and navigating difficult conversations are so helpful to new managers and a great reminder and practice for seasoned managers.”

"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."

“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!”
