Testimonials
"As principals, we look to Laurie for help and support. We know that
she will help us to make sense of our own leadership and visions
while sharing hers. With Laurie, no question is a 'bad question'. Each struggle and question is greeted with respect and proposed
inquiry that pushes our thinking.
Laurie 'talks the talk and walks the walk.' She does
not expect anything of others that she does not expect of herself.
Through her meticulous operational and managerial skills, she
promotes a positive, engaging learning environment for her students
and staff. She continues to raise the bar for her school community
and they rise to meet that expectation." If you were to receive an email from Laurie it would be signed, “Students, the heart of our work- unconditionally.” Laurie keeps the heart of her work alive as she serves her students and school community. She continues to seek new avenues for sharing her passion. That passion is easily transferred to those around her." Peggy Lewis, San Diego, CA "Practicing the seven pillars of heart-healthy management has strengthened my team and made my work a lot easier. Things flow more smoothly, the team is relaxed, and we are accomplishing great things." Tom Weston, El Centro, CA "When I lead from the heart, trust and empower my group, the management aspect of my work almost takes care of itself." Lily Davenport, Chula Vista, CA "When I faced a particularly difficult work challenge, I kept remembering the 'Gentle Reminders' in the book. They helped me face a huge problem head-on and deal with it with grace, dignity, and respect for all concerned. Thank you, Laurie!" Evelyn Alemanni, Elfin Forest, CA "Laurie’s workshop on leadership not only brings knowledge and experience to the subject but an insight to triumphs and tribulations in working with people and systems. She truly listens and responds to what each person in the room has to say or express. The training was experiential in nature which made it both personal and practical. Her experience and research makes for a profound book on leadership. I have personally found that reading and responding to her reflection questions brings out the core of who you are, thus making it a book not only about professional practicalities, but personal as well. Laurie is on to something from which businesses, non-profits, and educational institutions will greatly benefit. She uses the language of a leader and empowers others in their leadership abilities." Jennifer, Houston, Texas "You were the most inspiring and motivating boss I have ever had." Lisa E., San Diego, CA "The values that you have instilled in the fabric of the school will be long lasting." Allen and Rose, Mira Mesa, CA
"As an inspiring leader with the Educational Leadership Development Academy at USD, I had the opportunity to apprentice with Laurie Hinzman. I had the unique experience of working with an exceptional instructional leader who not only inspires, but also empowers others. Her school community is committed and strives to achieve at a level of excellence because Laurie demonstrates her philosophy of leadership in everything she says and does. Her actions promote a culture of respect and trust that focuses on continuous improvement. "I really enjoyed reading your book. You are so positive and that’s what makes Sandburg a great place to work. It is a perfect book to read at the beginning of a school year. If every teacher read your book, the classroom would be a much happier place." N. Valles, San Diego, CA "Your book has a lot of detail and inspiration. It really touches my heart and soul. Your writing gives me a feeling of happiness, how my family cares about me. I read how you talk about the heart and it makes me think how much I should really care about my family. My parents work really hard for me, they love, care and protect me. Everyone should care about their parents as their parents love them. Their heart is filled with integrity, character, compassion, mutual respect, truthfulness, and courage. Kids need to honor and respect their parents. Your book is awesome!" S.M., Fifth Grader "Your book is a brilliant write – and takes such a refreshing spin on leadership." Elementary Educator, Del Mar, CA "You have inspired so many of us to stand, reach, and plan towards our goals. Thank you for being there for us! I hope I can still get your advice and insight in the future." Paris B., San Diego, CA
