âIn just two brief sessions with Beyond Point B, my vision for our company became crystal clear, a clarity I hadnât achieved in months of thinking on my own. I would definitely recommend their workshops; theyâre well worth your time.â
David A. DeLeonardis

â(Larry) helped us to focus on some areaâs of our organization that we have taken for granted, and realized that we need to push our Vision and Mission Statements lower down in the organization. The sessions definitely provoke your thinking.â
Bill Walters
CFO, Crossroads Diversified Services, Inc
âLarry gave us direction and process. He helped us to define our most critical roles, put together all of our thoughts, and come out with clear definitions. Larry saved me a yearâs salary with his knowledge, honesty, tools, and frank comments! It was a wonderful experience.â
Fritz Durst
Board Chair, Reclamation District 108
âLarry got us to a place we couldnât get to on our own. We were struggling with shared visionâŚhe got us on the same page. Could not have moved forward without Larryâs guidance/path-finding. Larry was able to get me to understand the staff perspective. The number of touches he has had on organizations â his breadth â is very helpful. Larry is thoughtful, could understand the outcome that was needed.â

âNot only did they provide us with a hands on tool to help our business customers evaluate their practices, but they walked our staff through the applying of the results. The response from our business community has been very positive. Our number of business customers has increased consistently since the training. Our program is well on itsâ way to providing the most extensive menu of quality business services in California. Beyond Point B has been a critical part of our Business Services plan. I highly recommend BPB to anyone that is looking for an edge.â

âLarry is consistently the same guy. Heâs well organized and brings insights into areas people donât pay attention to. He has an extremely broad knowledge baseâŚand can see from the 33,000 foot levelâŚnot everyone has this. He has knowledge about large companies and unique issues/problems. Larry is very valuable to me because of what I realize I donât know. He has influenced our culture and direction thatâs resulted in growth for us. Through Larry we have decision-making tools. He breaks through the dynamic of our eclectic and strong willed board very well and is part of our foundation as a company. He wants to impact the effectiveness of education. Larry doesnât shape, he empowers. He has natural instincts about business and provides an invaluable perspective.â

âOn behalf of the California Rice Commission Board of Directors, let me thank you for the outstanding job facilitating our 5âyear strategic planning process. The plan was adopted by unanimous consent! We are now well along the way implementing our strategic initiatives. There are a number of items that stand out during our collaborative nineâmonth process. First, was your ability to generate input from our industry and the experts that assisted us in identifying key trends impacting California rice. Everyone was heard and all had the opportunity for input. Second, was your skill in getting the industry to focus on the key issues that were critical, rather than all of the issues raised. The result of these two key elements was the inclusive process we desired and the critical strategic focus we needed. I also want to thank you for the great service and client attention. Both were remarkable. In an era of phone conferences and emails, you took the time to meet and understand the California rice industry.â
Tim Johnson
President & CEO, California Rice Commission
âI have changed my focus from fixing problems as they occur to thinking strategically, what is the best way to accomplish mid and long-term goals. I am also able to delegate work to others, setting expectations as to what I need to have done, by what time.â
Paul Hurley

âLarry holds a unique skill of helping others identify their weaknesses and, more importantly, assists his students/clients in building an arsenal of tools to break free from the hold these past issues have on their ability to function successfully in society. I think he is especially effective with professional service firm professionals who have a difficult time admitting that they might not be perfect.â
Sydney Young
Principal, Mayotte Young
âLarry is a game changer, uncommonly good at bringing us to where we intended but didnât know how. He created a fantastic communications process for our organization, and I didnât have to spend weeks in a conference room to get us where we needed to go.â
Lewis Blair
General Manager, Reclamation District 108
"Bottom Line: If you have the opportunity to work with Larry, take it!â
