The Great Game of Life represents the journey of every individual and every organization. It is the journey through life, the constant quest to remember our true potential and our true purpose—who we are at our very core. Larry has devised new and different ways for individuals and organizations to re-discover their courage and creativity and use these to facilitate their own change strategy to achieve optimal performance and sustainable growth.
“I knew the best thing I could do for our clients and client wannabees was to get them in front of Larry Wilson as our gift to them. I was right. They loved you and your leadership message. They also “got” the changes they’re going to have to make in themselves and their organizations in order to thrive in the upside-down world of our future. Thanks and let’s do it again.”

Larry Wilson is known for many accomplishments. He was the founder of a pre-eminent training company, Wilson Learning Corporation, whose programs helped Fortune 500 companies thrive in an uncertain world. In 1982 he pursued an emerging vision of new leadership and culture change by creating Pecos River Learning Center.
Larry’s innovative entrepreneurship grew from early experiences selling life insurance. By age 29 he had become the youngest lifetime member of the Million Dollar Round Table, a benchmark achievement in the life insurance field. His seminal insight was that, when at his best, he was “coaching” his clients, not “selling” them, became the philosophy of the groundbreaking Counselor Selling program introduced in 1965.
“Larry. You came, you spoke and you converted them. Ours is a tough group. They’ve heard them all. But they hadn’t heard you. Your message, your delivery and your energy all hit the bull’s-eye. We can hardly wait to have you back—soon.”
