About

Larry spoke in March 2018 at AFFI's annual convention. Larry talked about innovation to my members who are frozen food manufacturers. His smart, entertaining, and fast-moving morning talk was full of unique and valuable insights we don't get often enough in our busy worlds, but increasingly need! Perhaps the best proof of the value of Larry's presentation was the frequency with which it was referenced in meetings throughout the next two days of our convention. I believe Larry's perspective helped my members understand how to navigate our disruptive marketplace.

For nearly two decades, Larry has been a trusted business adviser, coach and friend. Larry's ability to drive clarity in thinking, creativity in approach, and momentum to action has had a powerful impact on my business and life. Over the years, I've benefited from Larry's strategic and day-to-day guidance at three different companies, covering the fields of media research, software development and marketing communications. His flexibility and creativity, coupled with his continuity of approach, were some of the most powerful resources I had across each business. As a colleague, coach and friend, Larry brings an authentic, reassuring "fellow traveler" approach. His breadth of experience, as a consultant, author and teacher strengthened by his other-focused nature, produces creative, long-term and effective solutions. Most important, Larry has never been afraid to push me beyond my comfort zone, professionally or personally, to imagine a new possibility, a different view, or a new solution. His honest and heartfelt approach has often provided the centering and stability I've needed to explore the unknown
