About the Author

This former classroom teacher, past outreach coordinator for at-risk youth, and counselor, left the security of the educational environment to increase his ability to impact and change lives. Specializing in creating an awareness and understanding that changes attitudes and thinking patterns; Larry teaches people how to "Plant Seeds of Success" in others and in themselves. Woven within his experiences, ideas, stories, and thought-provoking questions, are hundreds of seeds for success that until now was only available for students, educators and parents, through his inspirational keynote speeches, Ultimate Leadership Training Program and his Youth4Youth Program.             www.youth4youth.org

The Secret of the Can is the starting point, the foundation on which you build your life of success. People find his style very genuine, energetic, and down-to-earth as he works to captivate, inspire, and uplift all who hear him. "I continually strive to make the principles of success come alive for everyone. I love to create that "Oh Wow!" experience that changes a person's life in a positive direction."

At age 18, Larry considered life normal. He was from a middle class family, private school education, with college in his future. He began to make poor choices and continued on a path of personal destruction for the next 13 years destroying everything positive in his life. In 1984, the words of one person changed his life forever and he has been on a path of personal "construction" since. His story is one of overcoming victim thinking and adversity. A true example of practice what you teach.

In Larry's words, "Most people can look back to one instance in their life where the words of another have made the difference. Someone made that same difference in me, back in 1984. I'm very grateful for the opportunity to return the favor!"
