Motivational Speaker in Greensboro, NC

"Larry Weaver was outstanding, beyond expectations. His humor and message left us energized and with something to truly think about and apply. I highly recommend Larry."

Education Council, North Carolina Healthcare Financial Management Association
Teamwork Speaker in Rockingham, NC

"It was just what the staff needed!!!! Paul was awesome!"

Chief Executive Officer, Richmond County Hospice, Inc.
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."
