Leadership is a privilege and a responsibility.

It’s never been harder to be a leader than in today’s environment.

Today’s leaders struggle to keep up with constant interruptions, shifting priorities, and evolving employee expectations. Significantly more is required of leaders today than ever before. Most leaders struggle to keep up with the demands of leadership, while also having the energy to enjoy their personal life.

Our programs teach you how to be intentional with your time and energy, so you can create an exceptional team of highly engaged and productive employees.

One of the main jobs of today’s leaders is to be caretakers of the culture.

An engaged, healthy workplace culture looks like:

  • Less stress and burnout

  • Improved retention

  • Greater productivity

  • Positive conflict resolution

  • A team excited to grow

  • More ease and fulfillment

Meet Laurie Maddalena

Professional Speaker, Executive Coach, and Leadership Development Consultant

The reality is, there are two things we don’t get training for: parenting and leadership. For the past fifteen years, Laurie’s modern leadership approach has helped thousands of mid-level and executive managers lead their teams with less stress, and more confidence.

Leadership has evolved dramatically over the last 25 years. Yet most organizations have leaders who still follow a traditional, outdated approach. Laurie’s programs teach managers a modern leadership approach so they can create cultures where people love to come to work.
