“The impact of our coaching experience has been remarkable. Larry has helped us define and pursue our goals with precision, leading to a more cohesive and motivated team. We also now approach our goals with renewed clarity and confidence. The clarity and accountability provided have driven substantial growth and improvement in our operations.”
Lorenza Strover, Financial Director, Marsing Pharmaceuticals

“Working with Larry Hodes was transformative for our company. His guidance in developing our values and improving trust directly contributed to a significant boost in our sales growth. This was a result of a sustainable improvement in relationships among staff, and a deepened sense of gratitude in every employee . During our cooperation Larry helped as well our leadership team refine their roles. ”
Carlos Costa, Sales & Operations Manager, Marsing Pharmaceuticals

“When you're running a successful business, it’s easy to hit a plateau or become unsure of the next steps. I found this happening with my own business, and after just two months working with Larry, I've gained a fresh perspective. Larry's insights, accountability, and focus have provided me with renewed clarity and direction. I’m excited to see the continued impact of his guidance on my business.”
Gareth Moulton, CEO, Ideliver

“Larry has been instrumental in guiding our leadership team at Alvi Gordon. His coaching has sharpened our focus and realigned our strategic direction, enabling us to grow the business more effectively. His insights and hands-on approach have truly made a significant impact on our company’s trajectory.”
Thabo Ntseoane, Group CEO, Alvi Gordon

“Larry has been an invaluable asset to our organisation as we have experienced remarkable growth, both individually and as a team. His dedication and unwavering commitment to our success have made a lasting impact on our organisation. Larry doesn’t just keep us on track; he inspires us to strive for continuous improvement and excellence. We deeply appreciate the positive influence he has had on our journey, and we are confident that his ongoing support will continue to propel us forward. Thank you so much for all that you do – we really do appreciate you!”
Roshnie Shah, Group Executive Manager, Alvi Gordon

“Having a business coach has had many positive results for me and my team. On a personal level, our coach, Larry, helped me to set realistic goals, and develop effective strategies to achieve them. He also challenged me to step out of my comfort zone and grow as a leader. The strategic workshop helped our Executive team to re-focus on our strategy and to create action plans to achieve the desired outcomes. Additional workshops focussing on recruitment and culture added significant value to our Executive team and other staff members.”
Karin Marillier, Financial Executive, Mentis Africa

“Larry has a remarkable ability to help break down long-term goals into actionable steps, allowing me to focus on the necessary actions to achieve success. His expertise in delving into personal reactions and behaviours in various situations has enabled me to develop a deeper understanding of myself and to navigate challenges with greater resilience and clarity. Larry’s passion for personal development translated into impactful results following his culture workshops & leadership development program at our company. His dedication to empower individuals led to transformative changes within our team.”
Giovanna Grobler, Sales Executive, Mentis Africa

“Larry conducted a Leadership Development Program with our leaders. The topics were practical and relatable to the day-to-day challenges faced by every Manager. In follow-up discussions with the delegates (and their Executives), it has been shown that their level of engagement has improved and everyone underwent some extensive internal retrospection of themselves and their Management styles. When you invest in staff, they come back regenerated with excitement that is sometimes lost when you fall into day-to-day work, however this has not been the case with the training offered by Larry and everyone has willingly evolved into a changed and more effective Leader. Larry has a natural talent not only for training, but also to inspire and motivate anyone to greater heights – personally and professionally.”
Tracy Vermeulen, HR Manager, Mentis Africa

“My coaching experience with Larry has been truly transformative. He has expertly guided me through critical areas of personal development. His approach is both supportive and challenging, compelling me to stretch myself enormously and embrace continuous growth beyond my comfort zone. This has led to significant personal and professional advancement beyond what I thought possible. His insightful questions and strategic guidance have pushed my boundaries, enabling me to thrive in challenging situations. The impact of our sessions extends far beyond our meetings, influencing my daily decision-making and long-term vision. For anyone seeking to unlock their full potential and achieve meaningful results, I wholeheartedly recommend Larry's coaching services.”
Nkululeko Khumalo, Chief Operating Officer, ABSA Group Legal

“Grow has provided us with the vital link between strategy and execution. Our coach, Larry, has been hugely instrumental in steering our team in a purposeful direction by asking the right questions and keeping us accountable to agreed actions. What seemed a daunting task has become an exciting prospect through a clear, structured process of objectives, key results and actions. I would highly recommend Grow to any organisation that takes growth seriously.”
Kean Broom, Principal and Board Member, Treverton College
