"Larry Weaver brought humor, levity and fun to nurses at our Annual Convention this year. His presentation was just the right 'medicine' at the right time!"

Director of Nursing Education and Practice, North Carolina Nurses Association
Motivational Speaker in Farmville, NC

"Larry Weaver captivated our audience with humor related to our field of interest (safety and construction) but emphasized the importance of having a clean and safe work place at the same time. He showed interest in the audience by wanting to learn more about our company and the people, and used that information to appeal to the audience even more. His Southern charm and sense of humor related to our audience and provided a much needed laugh as we celebrated 15 years accident free, which is unheard of in our industry. He demonstrated professionalism through his courteous demeanor and respect for our audience with good, wholesome comedy. His performance was definitely a game changer when it comes to the guest speakers we look for in our awards ceremonies! Our audience really enjoyed his personality, and he was a pleasure to work with."
