From the moment he stepped on stage, the room was alive with laughter, energy, and a sense of connection that only a truly gifted speaker can create. What set Larry apart was his ability to weave heartfelt messages about embracing positivity and finding joy even in adversity through the lens of humor. His stories were relatable and personal, and his message was both inspiring and refreshingly genuine. He didn’t just talk about positivity, he demonstrated it. Every joke carried insight, and every laugh felt like a step toward perspective and resilience. The balance between humor and heartfelt moments was masterful. Audience feedback was enthusiastic, and attendees left feeling recharged, hopeful, and more open to seeing the good in both everyday situations and life’s bigger challenges.

"Larry Weaver was the perfect guest speaker for our annual event in every way. He was as friendly, positive and engaging during our initial meeting as he was on stage. My first call was returned the same day. He was punctual for every call, every email communication or video chat, and arrived early to the scheduled event to ensure everything was ready to go for the scheduled event time. Prior to our "all virtual" event, Mr, Weaver worked with me to not only understand the goals for our event, but took the time to learn about our Agency mission and activities to aid him in connecting with our employees! Mr. Weaver's performance was both professional and personal, and very funny. He seamlessly incorporated our event theme and safety messaging into his very motivational performance. He even worked our Safety mascot into his comedy… From his studio he was able to deliver amazing video graphics and animations, as well as safety themed content that was visually appealing and entertaining. His creative use of the camera was commented on by many pleased participants. Mr. Weaver's performance was extremely well received. He easily won over a very tough audience, and he accomplished this in a virtual setting. This is no easy feat! There was not one negative review! As an event organizer, one is always concerned about providing great content… and Mr. Weaver more than delivered! I look forward to working with Mr. Weaver in the future. Here is a small sampling of the unanimously positive feedback: "Larry was great! Good selection for a speaker! Hope he's invited back." "This was fantastic. I enjoyed the comical way he delivered safety messages! Bring him back next year!" "Lots of great tips. He made my day a little lighter!!!" "Speaker was engaging and very informative! Funny presentation!" "Appreciated that Larry took the time to learn about NOAA and work it into his routine, it made the performance and the safety messaging really resonate. Thank you Larry""
"It was a pleasure to have Larry Weaver speak at our recent Unit Heads' Conference. He definitely exceeded our expectations. He was at the conference hours before his presentation time and his delivery was clean, uplifting and kept the audience laughing the entire time. It was a true pleasure working with Larry. I would definitely recommend Larry for your event!"
"Mr. Weaver was very professional!! He was easy to communicate with, showed up on time and was ready to perform. He was very aware of our time constraints we were working with and his performance was VERY well attended. He captured our audience from his first words and never let us go!! We appreciated his humor (nothing was off topic or random) and his flow of thought. He was very professional but also personal. His stories struck a chord with our attendees and his jokes very appropriate. I enjoyed his performance and would highly recommend him in the future."
"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."
"Larry Weaver brought a new dimension to our annual meeting this year and the response was overwhelmingly positive. His creative, down-home humor resonated with our audience, and he blended it with a motivational message that each person could take with them to their workplace and personal lives. He was very thorough in preparing for this event, researching the audience in advance and talking through logistics and expectations with us to ensure a great result."
"I wanted to let you know that our evaluations came in from the conference and they indicated that they enjoyed Larry's presentation. Thank you Larry for entertaining us!"
"Larry was very prompt in booking our event with us. Each email was answered quickly which made it very easy to book with him. His communication throughout the planning process was great and his material was wonderful. He was prompt on his arrival and everything went very smoothly. Thanks for a great time and making our staff laugh. It was just the pick me up they needed."
