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

“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!”

"This program had a lot of great tools, it was well paced where I didn't feel talked at and felt engaged. I enjoyed the atmosphere, getting to know people I would not have met otherwise. Laurie created an atmosphere where there was no judgement or embarrassment to talk about issues. This program has given me tools to create new habits to help improve how I approach situations and plan my day. Yes, these tools help you grow not only in a work environment but in a personal environment. They aren't exclusive to just your career which makes them useful in more ways than one. I think the program is well planned and the reading material helps solidify the class lessons."

"This program was excellent. It is a well-rounded program for leaders at all levels to take a self-assessment and develop a plan for improvement to reach their goals as a leader. The program puts the tools in your hands so that you are able to continue making improvements to your leadership style long after the program is over."

"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 program is a definite 10! The instructions along with the personal guidance and suggestions are excellent. You really learn a lot about yourself.”

"I received a lot of very timely and useful tools from this program that I will continue to use throughout my career. There are too many changes I have made to fit into this small response box. From time management to understanding when a conversation becomes crucial and how to handle that. I appreciated two main things. The additional resources provided so that I could continue learning about a subject and the in class atmosphere that allowed for open flowing conversations. I believe I can now handle most situations with tact and professionalism. I can hold people accountable now as well as have that crucial conversation. I would definitely recommend this program to anyone willing to continue learning throughout their career. It was very helpful. It exceeded my expectations. Thank You!!!"

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

"This program was very wonderful and insightful. I would recommend this leadership program to everyone. As times change, so have the habits of motivating employees. The framework and methodology that are taught in this course will give you a newer prospective and approaches to bring the best out of individuals you work with. The main change I can contribute to this leadership development program is how to deal with the emotional aspect of leadership."

"My time management and delegation have improved immensely. The best part of the program was learning the tools to manage up and have synergy with staff to also manage up and provide coaching tools for growth. I have a better understanding of the power in effective communication in various situations and seek to find solutions to everyday challenges from my peers and leaders. I also gained a greater handle on the importance of asking open ended questions in problem solving. The program was excellent!! I would rate it highly for individuals looking to grow in their leadership and management capabilities. I was very thankful for the readings as well as the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with the management team. Every o should use this program!! I enjoyed the program and look forward to our next sessions in the future. Many thanks Laurie - it was definitely a value added experience!"
