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

“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. I absolutely recommend this program because it allows managers to have al the information and tips to help best guide them through being a leader.”

"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."

"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 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."

“Amazing program! I’m much more focused and intentional with leadership and management. There is so much information that is beneficial for anyone in any form of leadership position. I loved the workshops, and am really looking forward to future programs!”

"The Envision Excellence leadership development program is by far the best professional development coaching I have ever had. I began the program with some reservations, thinking it would be similar to others I have gone through and my skepticism was proved wrong. Laurie Maddalena’s program has proved to be engaging and provided me with invaluable insight into being a stronger, more effective leader. Envision Excellence helped me to realize changes I should make in my communications, time management, and employee and coworker relationship building. Laurie Maddalena has a gift for tailoring the excellent materials she has developed to fit the people she is coaching and facilitating productive discussions centered around the topics presented. I feel that I am much better off for working with Envision Excellence and look forward to continuing to work with Laurie."

“This program was fantastic. I liked the workshops and interactivity amongst my peers and Laurie. I look forward to continuing my personal growth and incorporating many of the things I learned in the workshops into my day-to-day life.”

“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!”

"This was an excellent program! Out of all the training programs I have taken throughout the years I found this one to be the most useful. The skills taught in this program were practical, easy to understand and easy to implement if you try. Yes, I found this course to provide many new ideas and skills that I have not seen taught in other programs. I feel what I learned will help me throughout both my professional career and my personal life. This was a wonderful and very engaging program."
