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

“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 really enjoyed the program. I found it incredibly insightful and enjoyed the perspective of the other participants in the program.”

"This program was exactly what I needed with just getting into a management role. I wish I could take this every year to always keep the valuable information top of mind. Where do I begin to describe the best part of the program??? I feel I have become a confident manager who is pushing my employees to take more responsibility and also opening up the lines of communication with them to be the best leader I can to them. I only hope one day when they are asked which manager inspired them most...they think of me. Crucial Conversations was by far my weak area. I learned valuable skills that I hope make these difficult situations easier. I plan to keep the book that had to do with that session handy at all times. I completely recommend this program to anyone. Not only does this help you in your career but also in your personal life. Overall an amazing program. Thank you, Laurie, for such an excellent program."

"I would rate this program a 10 out of 10. I am significantly more aware of the words/actions I use (or don't use) which directly affect my day-to-day relationships in life and my progress at work. Laurie has a fantastic approach to this type of training. This type of class is make or break depending on the tone set by the instructor. I have better sense of what leadership truly is. This allows me to identify an effective leader and also notice things that person does that makes them an effective leader."

It was a great and informative workshop. It was a good way to understand myself better. Yes, because it gives you a different perspective of the mind. I am so fascinated with my mind and unlocking my brain to be better. Learning the root cause of my emotions is key to understanding.

"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."

“The program was excellent. I especially enjoyed the module that covered IQ and emotional intelligence—very interesting.”

"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."

“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! ”
