Testimonials

I had an opportunity to attend a seminar in which Laura spoke about the “image” of a leader. Overall, I felt that I gained insights and techniques that I’ll use to lead my service managers and sales team. As a presenter, Laura is very personable and engaging, which I feel helped to make it a very valuable training.

-Bob Bonomo, Manpower Group

Laura took on the challenge of motivating a room full of participants with aplomb. She judged the audience well and left them inspired and with new found confidence.  She is also great fun to work with, sharp, pragmatic and good fun to be around.  I can strongly recommend her.
