“Having a business coach has had many positive results for me and my team. On a personal level, our coach, Larry, helped me to set realistic goals, and develop effective strategies to achieve them. He also challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and grow as a leader. The strategic workshop helped our Executive team to re-focus on our strategy and to create action plans to achieve the desired outcomes. Additional workshops focussing on recruitment and culture added significant value to our Executive team and other staff members.”
Karin MarillierFinancial Executive, Mentis Africa
“Larry has a remarkable ability to help break down long-term goals into actionable steps, allowing me to focus on the necessary actions to achieve success. His expertise in delving into personal reactions and behaviours in various situations has enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of myself and to navigate challenges with greater resilience and clarity. Larry’s passion for personal development translated into impactful results following his culture workshops & leadership development program at our company. His dedication to empower individuals led to transformative changes within our team.”
Giovanna GroblerSales Executive, Mentis Africa
“Larry conducted a Leadership Development Program with our leaders. The topics were practical and relatable to the day-to-day challenges faced by every Manager. In follow-up discussions with the delegates (and their Executives), it has been shown that their level of engagement has improved and everyone underwent some extensive internal retrospection of themselves and their Management styles. When you invest in staff, they come back regenerated with excitement that is sometimes lost when you fall into day-to-day work, however this has not been the case with the training offered by Larry and everyone has willingly evolved into a changed and more effective Leader. Larry has a natural talent not only for training, but also to inspire and motivate anyone to greater heights – personally and professionally.”
Tracy VermeulenHR Manager, Mentis Africa
“My coaching experience with Larry has been truly transformative. He has expertly guided me through critical areas of personal development. His approach is both supportive and challenging, compelling me to stretch myself enormously and embrace continuous growth beyond my comfort zone. This has led to significant personal and professional advancement beyond what I thought possible. His insightful questions and strategic guidance have pushed my boundaries, enabling me to thrive in challenging situations. The impact of our sessions extends far beyond our meetings, influencing my daily decision-making and long-term vision. For anyone seeking to unlock their full potential and achieve meaningful results, I wholeheartedly recommend Larry's coaching services.”
