Larry has been an entrepreneur for over 20 years. He currently holds the position of president and CEO of Event Network, the leading operator of gift shops for zoos, aquariums, museums, science centers, botanical gardens, and other highly regarded cultural attractions throughout North America. Larry is involved in every aspect of his stores’ operations.
Larry operates in a very vibrant, fast paced environment. His business philosophy encourages him to continuously improve his business. He strives to elevate his guest’s experience and maximize his partner’s cultural attractions. When he was introduced to ExecuThink, Larry’s business philosophy came to mind; continuing to improve the business means continuing to improve oneself.
Larry enrolled in the program and was immediately encouraged by the results. His post training scores showed significant gains and his real life experiences were life changing.
Larry spends a great deal of time in social situations. After the training, he noticed his social interactions were much easier. “I felt more relaxed, less distracted,” said Larry, “I was better able to follow several conversations at once and remain focused and engaged. It was invigorating!”
Larry also spends a great deal of time making presentations. After his ExecuThink training, people lauded his presentation skills. At a recent company presentation, he felt that it was an overwhelmingly different experience than in prior years. “My mind was much clearer and calmer,” explains Larry, “I spoke fluidly and could change directions and respond much more quickly and effectively to my audience.” In his one-on-one meetings, he felt his thoughts were better constructed and creative problem solving required less effort. “Communication is easier. I feel a more distinct sense of connection to the people I am speaking with,” said Larry.
“I have also found my energy levels are much higher,” notes Larry. “In the past, after a very busy period at work I needed to get away from the office for a couple of days to recharge. Now I am able to reset after a quick run or walk…it’s a striking difference.”
“It was a very positive experience for me. I’ve already recommended the program to others.”
