Volunteer Coordinator, Christmas Dinner Party
Motivational Speaker for FSIoffice

"Larry Weaver hit it out of the park! We had a Teacher Appreciation event, and his motivational speech was spot on. The crowd loved him, and we even received raving reviews from the teachers themselves. From start to finish it was so easy and seamless to work with Larry. He was on time, prepared and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process. There was clean comedy and real life, funny experiences he shared with us. All while teaching a great lesson and inspiring the teachers and other attendees in the room. There were plenty of materials to choose from to put in our brochures for the event and instructions for what needed to be done to prepare for his arrival were easy to follow. He was very low maintenance compared to some other speakers we have had. Truly just a pleasure to work with and all at a very reasonable price. You won't break the bank booking this funny, professional and inspiring speaker. I highly recommend him for your next upcoming event!"

We met multiple times in advance to ensure things would go smoothly and he could deliver a show that was authentic to our event!

He willingly met for tech rehearsals and made sure that the quality of audio/video presentation was top notch. Larry carried himself with professionalism throughout and made sure the content for the actual presentation was clean, kind-hearted and included positive messaging. Further, he recognized the need to share positive messaging and tips for self-care and kindness regardless of external circumstances.

And he made us laugh! Larry weaved together jokes with the messages that we as an executive board have been sending to our members this year. Attendees communicated to me that they appreciated his humor. We also appreciated his promptness in communication as we were scheduling our agenda as well as his promptness that day. Joining us in advance of his time slot showed that he cared. Larry spent that extra time assessing and getting to know the audience. Thank you for your professionalism and the effort you put into understanding our association and our local area."

"Larry Weaver inspired and encouraged our School Nutrition professionals all while keeping us laughing! During the initial ironing out of details as well as the days leading up to the event, Larry was quick to respond and easy to work with. He was knowledgeable of the audience and sensitive to the feel of the room. He made his presentation even more personable by tying it all back to his mother, who worked in a cafeteria for many years.
