One of Larry's greatest strengths is his insightful guidance and structured approach that allowed me to assess where I was and where I wanted to go. Larry spent many years as an executive at a large company, so he is effectively able to merge that experience with his experience dealing with loss. This allows him to not just listen, but to offer feedback, challenge, and advise beyond what a counselor might do. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend Larry Ambrose to anyone in need of support and guidance during times of loss and transition, or as an executive or life coach. Working with him has been a transformative experience, and I am confident that he can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others facing similar challenges. Read More
Dawne Jacoby came to our university to address the very difficult topic of childhood trauma and abusive relationships. Dawne was vulnerable and authentic and tackled an exceptionally crucial topic with grace and profound insight. From the moment Dawne took the stage, it was evident that this was not going to be just another presentation. Dawne drew in the audience with her personal story and intertwined it with the important message of warning signs that our students needed to hear. The students were engaged, and many shared their own experiences with trauma. It was evident throughout the talk that this was a subject that needed to be addressed . By actively engaging with our students, Dawne created a dynamic dialogue that fostered support and understanding surrounding this painful topic. Her responsiveness validated the students who so vulnerably shared their own experiences. Dawne truly has the gift of connection, and this was demonstrated throughout her talk. What set Dawne apart was her willingness to be vulnerable, sharing struggles that many would not be willing to disclose. We are so grateful that Dawne chose to share her story at our university and have confidence that her message will resonate with students in ways that we may never fully grasp. Like a ripple that is set in motion by one stone, Dawne’s courage and insights created a wave of impact that will reach far beyond what we can initially perceive and may prevent future generational trauma by bringing awareness to our students.
