Team Building Speaker in Memphis, TN

"Rik was FANTASTIC! He brought so much positive energy to our group early in the morning. The entire group enjoyed him and will definitely refer him to anyone looking for a motivational speaker who combines clean comedy in their routine."

Event Coordinator, medi USA
Productivity Speaker in Nashville, TN

"We had Rik come in to present Game Winning Drive to our annual agency off site meeting. Rik really honed in on issues such as team work, unity, accountability, and owning your mistakes. He did it in a judgment-free way that gave us take-aways and connecting points we can take back to our home offices and apply. It was extremely well done, very professional and with plenty of laughs. Rik hit the nail on the head, and managed to not ruffle any feathers. He is an expert at people and it shows. I highly recommend him if you have similar event where you need to tune up your leadership, accountability and communication skills."

"Larry was a fantastic speaker who would be warmly welcomed again! The Southwest Tennessee School Nutrition managers in attendance enjoyed the humor, teamwork tips, and personalized message that he shared, especially made even more relevant because Larry’s mother’s was a school nutrition employee for many years. Not only did he present well, he was flexible, accommodating, and very easy to work with prior to our event. Communication was always prompt, professional, and friendly. Booking was a breeze and the promotional materials provided were easy to utilize for participants. Larry’s positive personality and presentation were a great way to kick off our school year!"

"We really enjoyed Larry Weaver's presentation at our all employee meeting. The jokes were a hit and, being from the south ourselves, were spot on! The motivational tips he threw in were just what we were looking for. I appreciate his promptness, professionalism, ease to work with and creativity. Larry's ability to tie in bits from our other training earlier in the day made it that much funnier! It was just what we needed after a long day of training!"

Productivity Speaker in Germantown, TN

"Rik offers the perfect combination of education and entertainment. As the keynote speaker for our Chamber's general membership luncheon, Rik began by engaged the audience with his dead-on imperination of Deputy Barney Fife. After some interactive fun with a few key business and community leaders in the room, he segwayed into a fantastic presentation about eliminating distractions in the workplace through the "Mayberry Method". The audience loved him, and everyone left with takeaways that can be easily implemented to increase productivity in any organization. Rik was a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him!"
