"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."

Her passion displayed in the classes I’ve taken under her leadership has helped me to grow personally and professionally.”

"As a result of this program, I have noticed that I am more aware of the impact that I contribute to the organization. I try to make sure that I'm more prepared when leading meetings, having performance discussions, and interacting with my peers and executives. I liked the fact that this program allowed us to be extremely honest with one other. I think that Laurie did a great job facilitating discussions and having us to commit to takeaways at the end of each session. I've benefited tremendously because I'm more in tune with my leadership style and key results areas. It's made me think more deeply about what I want to do as leader and how that can impact all aspects of my life. I would give this program a 9. I would recommend this program, because it provides a platform to evaluate your peer relationships, your communication style, your strengths as a leader, and how efficient you are in achieving your goals. I thoroughly enjoyed this program, and I'd like to reach out to Laurie as often as I can as a mentor."

Laurie’s insights were very eye opening at times. I think I will be able to use these new ideas to dramatically effect change in my organization. I would highly recommend Laurie’s program. She presents ideas in an engaging manner and asks other participants for their input as well. Thank you for a great class. I will definitely be using many of these skills in the promotion I just received.”
