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

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

"I could not have asked for a better time to be a participant in this class. I was promoted from a supervisor to a manager mid-way through this course. The program helped my put a lot of things in perspective and I am much more confident as a manager. I definitely recommend this training. I have read (and listened to) a lot of books on self-help, organization and management. There is a lot of information out there and this class helped me take a lot of the fundamentals and finally put them to use. Being able to connect with others and share experiences is something you cannot get from a book alone. It was a pleasure meeting Laurie and learning so much from her. I am grateful for having the opportunity to participate. I also have a small library of great resources to reference back to when I come across new challenges"

"This program was phenomenal. I loved everything about it. I have noticed I am more proactive. I am less of a fixer. I use lists more often. I absolutely recommend this program. It was so informative, and the information can be used in everyday situations, not just work. This class went way above my expectations. I have shared some of the information with others and they love it as well!"

I would rate this program a 10+, very informative and eye opening. Laurie is fantastic and does a great job initiating group engagement. I’m definitely more aware of my role as a leader in general and have adjusted how I approach certain situation to be a better leader from the start. Thank you for your leadership and insight. I found this training to be very beneficial and am certain that I will become a better leader as a result.”

"This program was excellent. Some of the tools I learned are helping me greatly throughout the day. I have improved my scope of view towards the people I manage and how to manage them. I would recommend this because it helps guide both new and senior leaders to become better at what they do."

“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.”

"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."

"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 program was a 10 out of 10! I liked how it was all about me as a leader. It gives you a good sense of who you are which allows you to help and build others. I am more confident in my ability to have conversations and make decisions. I would recommend this program in a heartbeat. This was the best training I've ever had, and I've been to many trainings!”
