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

"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 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!”

"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 was wonderful, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I would absolutely recommend this program. Laurie did such an amazing job of leading and coaching us while also holding us accountable before every session to actually put something in motion. It’s clear that Laurie does not want the participants to just check the box but to leave with skills that are practical and feasible to implement.”

"I am observing and coaching much more. And I feel like I am addressing any potential negative issues much faster. What I liked best about the program was the interaction with my co-workers, by far. Through this program, I learned a lot more about my co-workers, and myself. I would rate this program a 10! YES, I would recommend this program. It opens up the notion that we all have areas that require attention, and that there are ways to address those issues."

"The leadership program was excellent - on a scale from 0 to a 10, a 10!! I acquired new skills to help me professionally and personally with setting goals and accomplishing things in a more timely and consistent manner. I learned improved strategies with facilitating more effective meetings, better delegation skills, identifying priorities, setting deadlines and timelines and improving the language of specificity. I would absolutely recommend this program. This is a program that is so beneficial to program Directors. Wish we had it sooner. It really helps the Director to mange resources and personnel more effectively. Great resources."

"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."

"This program was phenomenal. I loved everything about it. I have noticed I am more proactive. I am less of a fixer. I use lists more often. I absolutely recommend this program. It was so informative, and the information can be used in everyday situations, not just work. This class went way above my expectations. I have shared some of the information with others and they love it as well!"
