Motivational Speaker in Asheville, NC

"Our group really enjoyed Larry's performance. The message was positive and funny. The property management specific jokes made it very relatable. Thank you"

Director Asset Mangement, Lindemann Multifamily Management, LLC
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."

Administrative Assistant, Farrior and Sons Inc
Motivational Speaker in Troy, NC

"Larry Weaver presented at Montgomery Community College as part of our Welcome Back at the beginning of the fall semester. Larry responded to my initial inquiry and provided a quote within the same day. Additionally, he provided guidance in planning the event and incorporated information about the local area into his presentation. Larry was a pleasure to work with and our employees thoroughly enjoyed his hilarious keynote."

Executive Vice President, Savers Marketing
Motivational Speaker in Asheville, NC

"Larry Weaver nailed it talking about a positive attitude, resiliency, and kindness! I believe this goes a long way today in the sales/business/ healthcare world. In fact, just in our daily life if you are a father, mother, friend, or coworker this is very valuable and important. I saw this many many times over the week when we were at the Summit."

Senior Territory Manager, Aeroflow Health
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 Charlotte, NC

"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!"
