Executive Coaching

I help leaders build their self awareness and grow their capabilities so they are able to maximize their organizational impact.  I focus on identifying when they are at their best and where opportunities for personal and professional growth exist.

Understanding the immediate issues an executive is confronting is the easy part of the work. A good 360 assessment combined with some thoughtful interviews can illuminate the most obvious external behaviors quite well. The value I bring is in getting the leader to hear and internalize the key messages and that goes far beyond just giving them the themes of the feedback. The next step in the work is helping the leader decide to make a change and helping them find new approaches that will be both effective and authentic, and therefore sustainable. This is where my personal and professional experience gives me insight to help my clients step to new levels of effectiveness in all parts of their life.

Client Testimonials ...

Larry’s feedback is direct and to the point, insightful and thought provoking. His questions prompt you to sort out a problem on your own.
Tim McCarthy CIO and Senior Vice President

Larry succeeds in engaging our senior managers in a way other highly-recommended and respected coaches have been only marginally effective. He is one of just a few folks I’ve met in my career that have a way of consistently “hitting the sweet spot” with so many people in a way that is engaging, supportive, educational, challenging and behavior-changing.
Gwen Lawton VP. Human Resources, Visa USA

One of the greatest benefits Larry brings to the coaching process is his communication style. He makes it seem like a natural art form. He has the ability to communicate effectively in any situation, whether it’s friendly or confrontational. I have taken pages of notes trying to emulate his talent for communicating.
