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

"I would rate the program overall a 95 out of 100. I specifically liked how the program focused on each person as an individual. It allowed each person to dig deeper into their strengths, weaknesses and issues that are holding them back from business and most importantly personal success. Yes, I would recommend this program to anyone seeking to improve themselves. The timing for me was perfect, having just completed my MBA. The program covers ideas and topics not covered in my graduate degree that are essential."

"I read more books about leadership. I come to a consensus with my peers on our organizational goals. I have become closer to my management team. When I am feeling very unproductive, I go back to our books and timing my day out better. Having the books as a resource has also helped. I would recommend this program because it is very important to go through a program like this or you cannot move forward as a unit of managers. It is a chance to come together with a shared purpose, speak the same "language", have open crucial conversations, and learn about what similarities and differences you possess with your peers. Most importantly there is a trickle down affect that many if not all of the employees see and feel. I would rate this program a 9. I want to thank you for the opportunity and for being a great active listener."

"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."

"As a result of the leadership program, I feel more confident and driven towards clearer objectives. I have learned to communicate better with my team and keep them engaged and accountable for their actions. I have learned to be more organized and finally delegated things that I thought only I could do. I am more organized, and I have found more time to do things for myself and for my family. I try to instill some of these habits in my children too. At work, because I have learned to delegate more, I have more time to organize and plan other projects and learn more about the operational aspects of the Credit Union which gives me a chance to grow professionally within the organization. I feel more confident when coaching my team and am trying to trust in them more in order to keep work and relationships flowing smoothly. I feel happier and less stressed out. The program was excellent. Laurie's leadership and coaching are a great example to follow."

“This program was a 10!! I have much improved my skill set, leadership, and personal ways of life. Laurie is personable—top of the best!”

"This was an inspiring class. It really helped with personal growth. It was one of my best learning classes I have taken. I’ve been inspired to take it to the next level. I'm listening to others to build teams and employee growth. I would highly recommend this program to management level people."

“Laurie’s session was amazing. I was able to apply the concepts I learned almost immediately! I feel rejuvenated within my job and organization, and even at home. I would absolutely recommend Laurie’s sessions. There is so much information that is beneficial for anyone in any form of leadership position. I loved the workshop, and I am really looking forward to future programs!”

"This program was excellent. I am better at communication skills and techniques. I like how the program was structured/scheduled; designed to allow a 3 weeks period between classes for new habits to form. I’ve benefited through improved relationships at work, more composure. I would recommend the program because it is packed with practical information and techniques. Laurie was an excellent speaker; the presentations were engaging."

"The Future Leaders program was excellent. I learned that coaching an employee can be fun and positive, and how to coach an employee who isn't meeting standards without being negative. I learned about what I need to work on to be a successful leader, as well as in my personal life. I really like the fact that Laurie included herself in a lot of the topics and shared examples of her experiences as a leader.”
