“I started working with Larry shortly after COVID struck. Despite our interactions having been entirely virtual, he understood my practice and has continued to keep me on track through regular calls. What sets Larry apart as a coach is his ability to understand my unique attributes and identify ways to harness those attributes in setting business development objectives and practical actions. I value Larry’s experience and ideas and he has become a trusted advisor.”

“I wasn’t sure how a lawyer coach would help me but I now wish I had worked with Larry Stroud years ago. He provided a great insight to business development. We always agreed on my tasks between sessions which was helpful for me to focus. He also provided encouragement and the right level of ‘nudging’ if I was not on track. He was great to work with and I have a great deal of respect for him.”
