Speaking topics

Making Your Mark

Making Your Mark is a high-energy, story-rich keynote for professionals who want to step up, stand out and shape their careers with intention. Blending practical insight with humour, humility and decades of real-world leadership experience, Larry challenges the audience to think differently about what it really means to succeed - at any level.

Drawing on his signature 3 Qualities of True Leaders - Authenticity, Empathy and Intent, which Larry brings to life as one's Anchor, Bridge and Compass - he shows how lasting success begins with character, connection and commitment. Through memorable stories, disarming honesty and a fresh perspective, he equips the audience to lead themselves first, engage others and take bold, meaningful action.

This is not a talk about abstract principles. It's a practical roadmap for making a measurable difference. At an individual level, it is designed to help capable professionals take ownership, reconnect with purpose, show up with greater intent at work and in life, and make their mark. More broadly, it's aimed at strengthening decision-making, engagement, and collaboration - with benefits for organisational performance, culture and retention.
