THIS PROGRAM IS FOR YOU IF...

You’re hard-working, dedicated, and want to help your team do their best but...

You're often overwhelmed by endless interruptions, too many tasks on your plate, and struggle to delegate effectively, which leaves you stretched too thin
Your team isn’t meeting deadlines or taking ownership of their projects, and you feel like you have to micromanage every detail to get things done
You sometimes avoid difficult conversations, which can leave issues unresolved that affect team morale and productivity
You're burning out, spending extra hours at work trying to keep up, which is taking a toll on both your personal life and your ability to lead with clarity
HERE’S THE TRUTH:

It's harder to be a leader today than it's EVER been

With the rapid pace of change and five (very different) generations in the workplace, leadership is no longer just about delivering results. It’s about relational management—coaching, giving feedback, and creating a culture where your team thrives.

Gone are the days of simply telling people what to do. Today’s leaders need to make employees feel fulfilled, aligned, and valued, not just managed.

The challenge? Most leaders haven’t been taught how to do that.

The best way to reduce turnover, boost staff morale, and increase productivity in 2025?

Lead with coaching not commands...
You CAN learn the skills to lead confidently, coach effectively, and create a thriving team, even in today’s challenging environment
In the Elevated Leader Program, you’ll learn how to:
Delegate with ease – Stop micromanaging and empower your team to take ownership of their projects, freeing you to focus on what really matters.
Hold effective, constructive conversations – Whether it’s giving feedback or navigating tough discussions, you’ll approach every conversation with confidence and clarity.
Increase productivity by at least 20% — Become a purposeful and intention leader with your team and your time.
Create a culture of accountability – Build a thriving team where employees feel motivated, aligned, and ready to take ownership of their roles and responsibilities.
The best part?

You’ll see real results in just 12 weeks.

What other leaders have said about the program...

The results I have seen include increased productivity and more time for planning and strategizing; increased employee engagement and individual and team productivity; more effective coaching and developing of employees to take ownership of their jobs... ”

VP of Operations, Labor Federal Credit Union

“I have become more assertive and proactive...

“With the skills I've gained, I feel more confident and better equipped. I have become more assertive and proactive in communicating expectations and providing clear, direct feedback with peers and staff."

ashley tyre
VP of Human Resources, Tidemark Federal Credit Union

“The Exceptional Leader program was EXCEPTIONAL!

I have learned to ask more questions. Staying curious. The more questions that I ask, the employees are able to dig deeper and provide the root of a question or issue. I have learned to empower the employees more. It leads to growth opportunities for them.

Manager Home Equity Processing, Tower Federal Credit Union

“I have grown in confidence and assertiveness...

“I have grown in confidence and assertiveness to apply all the skills and training that I have gained from this class. I have been able to have crucial conversations with my team without the emotions and hold myself accountable.”

MEET YOUR LEADERSHIP MENTOR

Hi, I’m Laurie Maddalena

And I’m here to help you become the best leader you know.

After becoming vice president of organizational development and human resources by the age of 30, I realized just how much work was needed to modernize leadership practices so I launched my consulting company in 2008.

Since then, I’ve trained thousands of leaders nationally, spoken on international stages, and worked directly with thought leaders like Brené Brown and Jack Canfield.

My mission? To rid the world of outdated, ineffective management practices and instead show leaders how to do the most important work possible — creating cultures where people love to come to work and feel personally and professionally fulfilled. 



"I’m definitely more aware of my role as a leader in general and have adjusted how I approach certain situation to be a better leader from the start."
