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

“The leadership program with Laurie Maddalena was an excellent one. I found the program sessions to be very insightful. The materials were delivered with an extraordinary high level of passion and enthusiasm. Laurie took the time to make sure the concepts were very relatable and practical. The program has enabled me to be a better communicator, boosted my personal confidence and improved my emotional intelligence and its influence on others.”

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

“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 class was excellent; very informative. I am better organized and manage my time better. I have better skills for dealing with people.”

"I would give the leadership program a 20 out of a 10. Amazingly life changing! My time management improved and now when I coach, I actually get real results. It is great to see the team stronger than ever. I enjoyed our open discussions which allowed us to brainstorm and feed off of each other. My job has been easier during normal work hours. I know the importance of delegating and how to get more done effectively. The class is about growth within as a person and a leader. Please continue doing what you do. It was a blessing that I was able to attend. My life has been changed. Thank you!"

"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!"

"The class provided me with many tools to lead at a much higher level. The books and insight into what has worked for other top professionals has opened my eyes in many ways. I'm able to also provide guidance and education to other managers. I am much more in tune with what my role as a leader is and have focused much more time on my employee's development. I have also learned my shortcomings as it relates to accountability and time management and have put the tools into place to improve and develop these skills. Laurie did an excellent job of bringing real world (and personal) examples into the training and it really helped me to understand the concepts and how the tools work. I have successfully promoted an employee to take on additional higher level responsibilities and I give this program 100% credit for that. This program provided excellent resources and tools to improve management skills."

"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 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."
