Chief Executive Officer, Richmond County Hospice, Inc.
Motivational Speaker in Greensboro, NC

"We were honored to engage speaker Larry Weaver for our Second Annual Safety Symposium for the Greensboro District of the United States Postal Service. After researching speakers for our event, we were unanimously convinced that Larry Weaver was the right choice. We understood the gravity and importance of getting the right speaker, and the challenge of meeting the needs of our audience. Bottom line, Larry Weaver presented flawlessly, connecting all of us through his humor, personal stories, and day-to-day life applications ...Our event consisted of our Area Vice President, Area, Human Resources Manager, District Manager, Higher-Level local postal managers and postmasters, supervisors, city carriers, rural carriers, clerks, and custodians. Regardless of your rank in the organization, at the end of the day, we all can connect over humor about food, family, and frustrations. Humor is a universal antidote, breaking down barriers, and connecting us on a base level. Larry did not disappoint. I watched our District Manager from time to time, as the bar was high to make sure he was pleased. From a distance, it was obvious he was enjoying the presentation by the verbal and visual feedback he was giving. Later in speaking with him personally, he noted that Mr. Weaver was perfect for the event. Thank you Larry Weaver for being a part of our special event. It was the perfect puzzle piece to tie everything together that day for us."

"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!"
