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

"The best part of the program was the trainer, our leader Laurie. Absolutely knowledgeable and able to relate to our issues. Although never having to work in childcare, it was great to see that leadership skills cross many job areas and we all can relate and share our experiences. I also really like all the resources and the weekly email of handouts to prepare before for class each week. I am more knowledgeable on the importance of leadership and how it is the key to whether your business is successful or not. The most important change for me is to not take my leadership role for granted and negate its importance. This course has given me many solutions and ideas on how to improve and maintain my leadership style. These leadership skills have been imprinted in my brain and I have the resources to look for answers if I ever have a question or need to review. The program met and exceeded my needs perfectly. I would rate the program 10...with 10 being the best. It was a great experience. I look forward to another workshop with Laurie."

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

“The program was excellent. I especially enjoyed the module that covered IQ and emotional intelligence—very interesting.”

"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!"

“I would rate this program a 10. I have gained more self-awareness. The materials were great, and Laurie was a great instructor. I also enjoyed the other participants and their insights.”

“Laurie was an excellent teacher and moderator, and my group was engaged the whole time. Empowerment is the word I keep coming back to. I have more confidence interacting with my team in a more managerial capacity. Thank you, Laurie!”

“This program was a 10 out of 10. It is the best introduction to leadership practices and the mindset of a leader I have experienced.”

"I am observing and coaching much more. And I feel like I am addressing any potential negative issues much faster. What I liked best about the program was the interaction with my co-workers, by far. Through this program, I learned a lot more about my co-workers, and myself. I would rate this program a 10! YES, I would recommend this program. It opens up the notion that we all have areas that require attention, and that there are ways to address those issues."
