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

“This program was phenomenal. I loved everything about it. I absolutely recommend this program. I was so informative, and the information can be used in everyday situations, not just at work. This class went way above my expectations.”

"On a scale of 1-10 I would rate it an 11. I've noticed that I am more of aware and better able to recognize certain situations, which in turn allows me to have a better response. For example, recognizing the differences between when to coach and when to teach or when a conversation becomes a crucial conversation. The skills learned can be applied to all aspects of life, which to me make them significantly more value and more likely to be practiced on a daily basis. My position at the CU has changed dramatically since the beginning of the program and I almost feel like thanks to the different modules we covered I actually have a head start on dealing with my new responsibilities and more specifically dealing with my new staff. I would absolutely recommend this program. I would recommend it to anyone in a position of management, anyone interested in a position of management or even any parents! These are skills that can be applied in so many ways that it would impossible not to benefit in one way or another. Awesome class Laurie. I enjoyed this more than any leadership/coaching training we've done to date. I think you've found your calling."

"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."

"This program was amazing! I am managing my time equally among employees. The virtual program was fun. I’ve never delegated so much in my life without being afraid to. I’ve been able to manage time in my day better with prioritizing specific tasks. I believe all leaders should participate. Regardless of what level of leadership you are in, the tools learned will last a lifetime."

"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."

"Laurie's leadership development program is by far the best professional development coaching I have ever had."

“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 class was excellent; very informative. I am better organized and manage my time better. I have better skills for dealing with people.”

"This program was outstanding. I am more focused on prioritizing tasks and planning my day rather than multi-tasking and being into so many different things at a time. I can actually block off a portion of my day and "eat the frog". I fully believe that attending his program will help me tremendously as I take over as President/CEO of Allegany County Teachers FCU. The program was a realistic insight into what "Leadership" is today and how important it is to lead by example and be more focused on the success of your team member because their success is success for the credit union. Laurie is phenomenal. She is exceptionally knowledgeable in this area and offers a different perspective....one that I have always believed in."
