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

"This program was excellent. I gained a lot of knowledge to use in my leadership role. I learned ways to implement being a leader and making my staff accountable. I would definitely recommend the program. The instructor was able to "teach" and "explain" the aspects of the program. Thanks, Laurie!"

“This program is Amazing! Laurie allowed us the opportunity to help one another when a situation was presented to the class. She created an additional session on confidence for us…her flexibility in meeting the need of the class showed she cared about us being successful in achieving our goals. I absolutely recommend this program! This class will help you develop as a person. It’s evident that Laurie loves to empower people to be their best selves. Her passion displayed in the classes I’ve taken under her leadership has helped me to grow personally and professionally.”

"I give this program a 10 out of 10. Great course overall. Laurie condensed a lot of information into a concise syllabus. Everything was well thought out and organized and the supplemental material given was a great resource for building on classroom sessions. I have focused on the strengths finder and leadership assessments, and have taken points from those and am working on implementing them in my leadership. Implementing the modern leadership techniques that were taught will greatly increase my effectiveness as a new leader. This course has created a more rapid growth in my leadership skills."

"This was an excellent course and there is a lot to take away and apply not only work, but your personal life as well. I am much more confident in making decisions. The program has really helped open my eyes to things I never thought about when I first became a leader. I think everyone has something that they could learn from this course and apply to their work habits. Thank you to Laurie for her excellent course and helping me."

"As a result of the program, I am delegating more tasks to my team on a daily basis and have learned to plan as much as I can a couple of weeks out. I have been able to free up more time thru each day which allows me to be a more effective communicator and team leader. Learning to trust my team more has allowed me to delegate more work and achieve this goal. I have also learned, on the personal side, to hold my daughter more accountable for some of her behaviors and how to make her reach better decisions. I liked the group discussions after reading the various books and essays that were distributed. It was great to see what other people took away from the reading and how they applied it to their daily routine. I would recommend this class to anyone who has a desire to forward their career and personal life. There are plenty of good habits to learn and make adjustments to reach the next level of any profession. Classes were fun, engaging and helped open the door on several areas where my leadership skills were in need of development so that I could be a better leader."

"I always learn something that I can take back to the office and use immediately. Laurie is an excellent presenter!"

“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 rate this program an A+++. I feel that I will be an "improved" leader now but even better in the future. Specific skills related to crucial conversations, meetings, and coaching were especially helpful. I am more reflective about what I do and how to do it. The best part of the program was the organized lectures with supporting books. The interactions of the participants and sharing ideas!"

“This program was excellent; well balanced between teaching/coaching and individual participation/study/activity. I would absolutely recommend this program. Every manager or aspiring leader should be required to attend a program like this. Laurie is a fantastic facilitator, teacher, coach—High, High recommendations!”
