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

"I learned different positive approaches to mentor/coach the team and bring out the best in each and every one of the team members. The leadership program gave me a new perspective/totally different view about reprimanding a staff/team member. A leader's job is to make the employees successful and bring out the best in them. I would definitely recommend the program; it was excellent. Laurie is great trainer, and I had a lot to learn. The books were all great and the resources were excellent."

"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."

"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 was an amazing program; great content and good camaraderie among the class. It was a very thorough program and a great experience.”

“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!”

“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!”

"The Envision Excellence leadership development program is by far the best professional development coaching I have ever had. I began the program with some reservations, thinking it would be similar to others I have gone through and my skepticism was proved wrong. Laurie Maddalena’s program has proved to be engaging and provided me with invaluable insight into being a stronger, more effective leader. Envision Excellence helped me to realize changes I should make in my communications, time management, and employee and coworker relationship building. Laurie Maddalena has a gift for tailoring the excellent materials she has developed to fit the people she is coaching and facilitating productive discussions centered around the topics presented. I feel that I am much better off for working with Envision Excellence and look forward to continuing to work with Laurie."

“I rate this program a 10/10. I have more confidence and a fresh perspective It was really beneficial to learn more about how I operate and also how others operate. I really learned so much and feel more confident after completing the program. I want to say how much I appreciate your real-life examples. It made everything so relatable!”

“Amazing program! I’m much more focused and intentional with leadership and management. There is so much information that is beneficial for anyone in any form of leadership position. I loved the workshops, and am really looking forward to future programs!”
