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

"This program was amazing! I am managing my time equally among employees. The virtual program was fun. I’ve never delegated so much in my life without being afraid to. I’ve been able to manage time in my day better with prioritizing specific tasks. I believe all leaders should participate. Regardless of what level of leadership you are in, the tools learned will last a lifetime."

"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 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."

"I like how the program was outlined, covering specific topics at a time and then the last session recapping all the information covered previously. As a result of this program, I focus more on my key result areas. I hold conversations differently; I ask questions that promote more specific answers and I practice reflective listening. By focusing on my key result areas, I feel more productive. The leadership program reminded us that being an effective leader has nothing to do with a person's title or position in a company. I would absolutely recommend this program."

"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.”

“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.”

"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.”

“This program was phenomenal. I loved everything about it. I absolutely recommend this program. I was so informative, and the information can be used in everyday situations, not just at work. This class went way above my expectations.”

"Laurie's leadership development program is by far the best professional development coaching I have ever had."
