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

"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.”

"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 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!”

“Laurie’s program is a must for any professional who is in, or aspires to be in, a leadership role. Laurie’s well-designed and insightful curriculum comes alive with her amazing ability to engage attendees across a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. I learned a ton about myself and my leadership style from the experience, and it has unquestionably made me a more thoughtful, engaged, and effective leader. I would absolutely recommend this program—I think this is one of the best courses I’ve attended on these topics. The investment in time and money is well worth it! ”

"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."

"The overall program was excellent. Sharing everyone's real life experiences and how they implemented some of the techniques and information was very helpful. The reading assignments were excellent. I feel more confident in my leadership abilities and feel equipped to be able to deal with whatever new leadership related challenges that may come my way. What I liked best about the program were the interaction and group discussions, and sharing of real-life experiences. The program has made me more aware of my time and how to better prepare and organize my daily activities. I've had many 'aha' moments on when and where I could apply some of the principles learned in the classroom. Yes, I would recommend this program. The class and the material (books and hand outs) are very useful and are things that you could review and fall back on frequently. Excellent resources. Great Class, Great Instructor."

“I would rate this program a 10—very interactive and informative. I have gained more confidence in my leadership skills, and I have found effective ways to get more work done and to address issues I have had. I have definitely learned how to become a better leader and better co-worker. Laurie is very knowledgeable. I did not realize all the wonderful tips and advice that I would learn and actually be able to contribute to my own life! In work and outside of work!”

"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!"
