Excellence in Leadership for Mission-Driven Organizations

Executive Coaching Success

Larry has used commercial and proprietary assessment tools and his own experience to provide one-on-one coaching to scores of professionals in media, non-profit and tech sectors.

His approach combines rigorous assessment with practical, actionable development plans that help executives overcome specific challenges while building long-term leadership capacity.

Results include improved decision-making, enhanced team relationships, increased organizational impact, and sustainable performance improvements that benefit both the individual and their organization.

Leadership Team Realignment

Sometimes executive teams lose their way, giving into "me" vs. "we" behavior that creates unhealthy conflict and distracts from core mission and strategies. Larry has worked with such teams at a major newspaper in New Jersey, a leading non-profit in San Jose, CA, and other locations to identify and address core stress points.

The process involves individual and team coaching to get people refocused on core mission, establishing clear communication protocols, and building collaborative decision-making processes that serve the organization's goals.

Teams that complete this process report improved collaboration, clearer accountability, and renewed focus on their mission-critical work.

Management Training Impact

Larry has developed and delivered management training workshops to hundreds of professionals on topics including core management skills; personnel management; delivering effective feedback; diversity and inclusion; managing for innovation, and others.

These workshops are highly interactive and practical, focusing on real-world scenarios that managers face daily. Participants leave with concrete tools and strategies they can implement immediately.

Organizations report improved manager confidence, better employee engagement, and more effective team performance following these training programs.

Strategic Planning Leadership

Larry has led, facilitated or directed numerous strategic planning processes for organizations including a Chamber of Commerce; magazines; non-profit organizations and others.

His approach ensures broad stakeholder input while maintaining focus on achievable, measurable outcomes. The process includes environmental scanning, stakeholder analysis, goal setting, and implementation planning with clear accountability measures.

Organizations complete the process with a clear roadmap for success, aligned leadership, and the tools necessary to track progress and adjust course as needed.

Larry's Comprehensive Consulting Process

Core to the success of any organization is people.

Whether helping a struggling executive find her footing; assisting in creation of a strategic plan; creating more effective team dynamics; providing workshops on core supervisory skills; helping to draft and teach effective DEI strategies, or other leadership missions, Larry focuses on supporting leadership in:

• Defining its core mission and strategies and ensuring they align with the organization's purpose and values
• Helping leaders and the management team understand their own strengths and challenges, and devising a process for leveraging those strengths and effectively addressing the challenges
• Gaining clarity around vision and purpose, and communicating with clarity throughout the organization
• Training leaders to be more effective managers of people – supervising in a way that is respectful, engaging, and that motivates excellent performance
• Understanding that the totality of life -- family, faith, home, health, dreams – impacts professional aspirations and performance, and finding ways to factor that into the consulting and coaching practice

Larry customizes a variety of personal and team assessment tools; individual and team development planning tools, and workshops and other training methodologies to help each organization achieve its goals.
