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

"I would rate this program a 10 out of 10. I am significantly more aware of the words/actions I use (or don't use) which directly affect my day-to-day relationships in life and my progress at work. Laurie has a fantastic approach to this type of training. This type of class is make or break depending on the tone set by the instructor. I have better sense of what leadership truly is. This allows me to identify an effective leader and also notice things that person does that makes them an effective leader."

"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."

“I really enjoyed the program. I found it incredibly insightful and enjoyed the perspective of the other participants in the program.”

"Envision Excellence has been an eye-opening experience for both me and my company. Laurie Maddalena has tailored her training to the specific needs of my department and management style, and has made me a more motivated and most importantly, confident manager. I, along with several other managers from my company, have trained with Laurie and adopted her strategies and techniques. I have seen this filter throughout the entire company as there is now a shared vision and education driving the company as a whole. I would be remiss if I did not mention the manner in which Laurie conducts her business. She has an equally professional and personal approach to her training and counseling that makes her extremely effective and the material more pertinent. I would suggest that this has been my best experience to date with a training program, and l would think that any organization could benefit from Laurie's unique curriculum."

“Excellent program. I like that the program was very interactive, and we all had an opportunity to share our experiences and opinions. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with us.”

“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.”

“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 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."

"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!"
