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

"Excellent program! I have improved my confidence, planning, and relationships with employees. I plan my time more efficiently. Communicate better with everyone. The program was organized and well thought out. I would recommend the program because it’s easy to follow along and learn a multitude of skills to make you better at being a leader. Laurie is an exceptional leader!"

“This program was excellent; well balanced between teaching/coaching and individual participation/study/activity. I would absolutely recommend this program. Every manager or aspiring leader should be required to attend a program like this. Laurie is a fantastic facilitator, teacher, coach—High, High recommendations!”

"This program was excellent. I am better at communication skills and techniques. I like how the program was structured/scheduled; designed to allow a 3 weeks period between classes for new habits to form. I’ve benefited through improved relationships at work, more composure. I would recommend the program because it is packed with practical information and techniques. Laurie was an excellent speaker; the presentations were engaging."

I thought I knew all the tricks when it comes to time management and setting up productive meetings after nearly 40 years at PRS. Laurie proved me wrong! My assistant Linsay and I have implemented several of her suggestions and they have made a noticeable improvement in our day! I highly recommend Laurie for her intelligent, practical and engaging training sessions.

"This program was excellent. I feel that I have become a better listener and am more thoughtful in how I handle conversations and especially conflict. I have learned how better to handle important conversations with tact and remove as much "emotion" as possible. Additionally, I have learned how important it is for employees to hear feedback on a regular basis and have made more attempts to provide without being asked. I have also been more consistent with holding myself accountable and doing what I say I am going to do. The interaction and open conversations about various scenarios and challenges was the best part of the program. Using techniques in real situations rather than following along in a textbook. It's a practical program that is easy to follow and apply to real-world situations."

"I would rate this program an A+++. I feel that I will be an "improved" leader now but even better in the future. Specific skills related to crucial conversations, meetings, and coaching were especially helpful. I am more reflective about what I do and how to do it. The best part of the program was the organized lectures with supporting books. The interactions of the participants and sharing ideas!"

“I would absolutely recommend this program! I loved everything about it—the content, the different assessments, the conversations and the books and recommendations. The best part has to be learning from Laurie. She is amazing, very personable and easy to talk to, she is also a world of knowledge and enjoys sharing it and helping others which I really admire and thank her for. This program has helped me a lot in getting to know and understand myself and how I can affect others. It has also taught me the importance of leading with action and being intentional in everything I do. It taught me that I am not a fixer but a facilitator and to lead by example! I am having better coaching sessions with my team, have improved my self-confidence and relationship with others, learned how to have difficult conversations, and created healthy habits to enrich my personal and professional life. I would rate this program an 11 out of 10!”

“I would rate a perfect 10 for the leadership program. Not only were our course materials well organized, but our instructor did an impeccable job teaching and explaining the course materials for all to understand. I have definitely benefited from this program. I have more self-awareness of my leadership abilities and have learned how to refine them so I can become one of the great leaders.”

“I rate this program a 10/10. I have more confidence and a fresh perspective It was really beneficial to learn more about how I operate and also how others operate. I really learned so much and feel more confident after completing the program. I want to say how much I appreciate your real-life examples. It made everything so relatable!”
