Reviews from North Carolina. Speakers you can trust.

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."

Motivational Speaker in Thomasville, NC

"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. I would recommend Larry to be your next keynote speaker!"

School Nutrition Director, Davidson County Schools
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."
