Your training was completely opposite of what I ever expected, it was most dynamic. You kept the course fun, active, and opened my eyes up to much food for thought.

- Michael Powell

When you came to us, our record was 3-8. We then won the next 9 games in a row, and tied 1 before being beaten in the Southeast Regional playoffs. Undoubtedly your teambuilding seminar helped tremendously.

He's a good boy.

- Larry's Mother

I participated in a day-long team building session with Larry serving as the facilitator in October 2012. The day was, by far, the highlight of a 5-week leadership development course. Larry's deft facilitation and course design resulted in bringing a group of 20 strangers from across the country together as a team in one short day. Extremely effective team builder who keeps you smiling throughout the session.

Feedback from the participants has been tremendous and overwhelmingly positive. We have tried other teaming sessions, but none can compare to what we experienced during your Day of Discovery.

I can write you now...6 months later and let you know the lasting impact. Our office environment has entirely changed.

- Karon Bush

We didn’t sit in chairs listening to lectures about motivation. We didn’t do exercises we’d all seen and done a hundred times. We didn’t watch videos with people who still had 70’s disco clothes and slicked back hair. We all participated and laughed and had a great time.

- Lynn Sgouros
Director of HR, City of St. Charles, MO

Larry took the time to understand our team training needs, developed an outstanding program, delivered the best professional development session our staff has ever had, and then followed up to ensure long-term retention. Clearly, an unequivocal, without-reservation, wholehearted endorsement of Larry and his training.

I've had the great pleasure of working with Larry on a large team development project in Canada. Larry was wonderful to work with. I found him to be a master at his craft with a contagious positive attitude. If Larry is involved in it, I'd like to participate.

Barry and I were particularly pleased that you were able to draw in everybody so that all were actively engaged in the session, and neither of us saw anyone on the 'sidelines' which can sometimes occur in this type of training.

- Thomas K. Tarr

We left Red Top Mountain with our Atlanta and Charlotte teams joined together as ONE, with better communication skills, and most importantly a renewed spirit! This day spent with you was exactly what we were looking for.

- Linda Pruett

I was initially concerned about the large size of our group. But you managed to keep everyone actively involved and challenged in all the activities. I only hope we can do equally with the same fun sense of enthusiasm you showed us!

A day like ours would do worlds of good for students, business people, or teachers. Everyone needs to know they can be successful!!

- Shirley L. Beard

May I count the ways? First, you managed to get people talking!!! Second, they became excited. Third, they relaxed, they began to divulge secrets, they talked to each other. Last and most important, you helped them to realize that they are the ones who hold the keys.

- Ann Murchison
United States Department of State

The evaluation sheets were levelled on a 1 to 4 scale, 4 being excellent. Larry, all your sessions were rated at the 4 level. And you know that you were dealing with consultants and program leaders who present all the time. This is such a professional compliment to you.

- Beverly Welch

Even today, 2 months after our meeting, I still see evidence of a better, stronger, and more cohesive team than what was evident prior to our meeting.

- Tom Parham

Thanks for the enlightening workshop, you exceeded our expectations. You are passing on important life experience messages to those of us grinding away daily at our respective jobs, who at times lose sight of why we act or react to various situations. Your presentation certainly gave us food for thought and will continue to stimulate thinking in this office for some time to come!

- Joseph Giacobbe
Chief U. S. Probation Officer, Western District of New York

Three months have passed since we participated in that wonderful teambuilding experience. I can say without doubt that the exercise has had a sustained impact on the members of our senior team here at Royal Bank of Canada.
