Larry served as the keynote speaker at our annual LINC (Linking the Industry Network through Certifications) Conference. This conference links Florida Agriculture Educators with leaders in various agriculture industries. Before the conference, Larry met with us a few times to really understand our audience and our needs. At the conference, he arrived early and spent time surveying the environment before giving his keynote so he could gain and even deeper understanding. All of this preparation culminated in a wonderful keynote that was the perfect blend of humor, professional development and inspiration. His appreciation for the work that teachers do every day was evident in his presentation. Our leadership and conference attendees all shared positive feedback and we would certainly recommend Larry to our industry and educational partners.
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!
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to Larry Weaver for being the keynote speaker at our In-Service. I’m hearing positive feedback from our employees; his presentation to some was funny and motivating to others.
