"Larry's presentation style and content were excellent. Our council members were engaged, found value in his insights, and enjoyed the time devoted to their personal growth. His case histories, audience engagement, and the leadership lessons from the experts he had interviewed were all excellent."

"It was our great fortune to have Larry Fobes return to Duke and the Fuqua School of Business to talk to our Global Executive MBA students about leadership. Drawing on his own considerable experience as an executive and on the many wonderful interviews he has done with leaders in business and government, Larry helped our students understand the challenges leaders face and the ways they meet those challenges. The class is part of our most senior executive MBA program, and many of the students are already in leadership roles in their organizations. Even for the most advanced leaders in the class, though, there was great appreciation for Larry's insights and the issues raised by the video clips he showed us. In subsequent classes and on our course discussion boards the issues that Larry had raised were mentioned again and again. Indeed, even months after his presentation, I still see my students talking about what Larry said or what one of the leaders he interviewed had said about this topic or that one. That is leadership training with 'legs', as we say!"

"For six years, I have been watching episodes of Leaders on Leadership and discussing them with colleagues, community members, and Larry Fobes. This experience has taught me the language and concepts of leadership in a unique way. Hearing the theories of prominent leaders in their own words has helped me to evolve as a leader and has contributed to my career in a significant way. At the center of this conversation is Larry Fobes, asking the right questions and guiding the dialog toward meaningful and insightful conclusions. With Leaders on Leadership, Mr. Fobes has created a non-traditional leadership academy where leaders are made."

"Leaders on Leadership has become one of those signature programs that defines the excellence our library brings to the community. I know that several attendees have been multiple-year participants who anxiously await news of the next round of Leaders on Leadership.
Thank you for the professional insight and interpersonal skills you bring to the discussion group each week. This kind of loyalty from the busy entrepeneur and business leader crowd speaks very highly of the program's return on investment along with the quality of the discussion you have led with such consistency over the years. I don't know that this program would have made the impact or developed such a following without you as the moderator/facilitator of the discussions. We have been very proud and pleased that you chose Southfield Public Library for the honor of being the location for these programs."

"Larry Fobes did an excellent job presenting to the State Bar of Michigan's Small Business Forum. His topic, "Leadership in Business During Uncertain and Challenging Times" was timely and well-received. I heartily endorse Larry for any kind of leadership training at your organization. His broad background in business, finance, engineering, and television will serve you well."
