"I have been in the workforce development field as an Executive Director of several organizations for nearly twenty years. Over that time I have worked with many consultants and coaches. I consider Larry Robbin to be the most informed, thoughtful, strategic and practical consultant and coach in our field. I trust him to help me think deeply about our most vexing challenges; to challenge my thinking when I need it most, to help me improve my leadership skills and to help me come up with solutions that actually work. I have been consulting with Larry on a monthly basis for years and I continue to find our time together incredibly valuable and packed with state-of-the-art ideas on a wide range of topics related to workforce development. The sessions are also filled with valuable coaching insights and ideas about what I can do to be a better leader of my organization. Larry has also provided excellent training and webinars for our team. I highly recommend his consulting, coaching and training services to any organization."

Larry Robbin has provided many workshops and coaching sessions to The Unity Council’s workforce programs and leadership over the years. It is a true privilege to work with Larry. Not only is he a national workforce expert, and understands difficult to reach populations and all sectors, but he is also an amazing human being, with intimate knowledge of how to reach individuals and move the needle with employers and systems. Larry’s technical knowledge and passion for social equity comes across in every training and coaching session. I am fortunate to have Larry’s guidance and our programs and service quality are stronger with his help.
