Throughout my 20+ year career in television, I've ​created and run many shows including, “The Woman in ​the House Across the Street from the Girl in the ​Window” for Netflix starring Kristen Bell, “Mike Tyson ​Mysteries” starring Mike Tyson and Norm MacDonald, ​and “Nobodies” on TV Land and Paramount Network. ​These experiences in the high-pressure, fast-paced ​world of television have allowed me to develop ​incredibly valuable insights into the creative ​collaboration process.

Recognizing that these perspectives are integral in all ​collaborative settings, I've devised a method to help ​organizations across industries enhance their ​communication, collaboration and creativity.

The InterAct Method is a step-by-step experiential ​learning process that teaches teams to unlock their full ​potential, present ideas with confidence, embrace ​uncertainty and build on each other's ideas to generate ​truly unique and innovative solutions.

Speaking Engagements

We had a great experiece with my managment team and the entire ​staff of 30 people in two day long sessions. The preparation was ​very professional and the training conducted with a lot of empathy. ​People were approached in a kind way and were brought out of ​their comfort zone in an agreed upon manner. As part of our ​internal change management process we wanted to bring the team ​into a space of openness that was relaxing and fun, while having a ​serious experience getting to know their own and their colleague's ​emotions. They had a lot of fun performing various exercises with ​lots of humor and laughter.

The result is outstanding: people are talking about this experience ​on a regular basis. It touched their hearts. Even those who were ​reluctant are now appreciating their participation. People are ​already asking for a refresher course. I am convinced that it was a ​very good decision to ask the for this training to help us in the initial ​steps of our change management efforts. Larry and Steve did a very ​good job and I recommend them highly."

"Your training was a powerfully successful exercise in how to think on ​your feet, trust your instincts, and importantly the instincts of people ​around you, and become a more powerful presenter and teammate. It ​was the single most popular training our agency has ever provided, in ​large part because it was both outrageously fun and deeply ​intellectual when one thought about its implications carefully. One of ​the best reasons I can give as recommendation for this training is that ​based on in-depth feedback not only did it benefit staff ​professionally, but it also provided equal measures of positive impact ​on their personal lives. No small feat."

"The facilitators delivered training to our team of 26 for our group retreat, on a Sunday afternoon and evening in meeting rooms and ​outside in courtyards. They made everyone feel they were very important through initial introductions, and even made what you would ​think of as this housekeeping process fun and interesting.

They explained the benefits of the training, improving the ability to work together, improving communications, getting to know one ​another, understanding our trust or lack of it. And the fascinating thing is they did 90% of this education process without explicit telling ​people what was happening. But they got it later, buy infusion of the process. Our trainers explained what was happening simply and ​completely, to assuage the fears of the introverts and the shy, and yet they engaged the extroverts and the boisterous.

I think the power and lessons of the very fun and quite funny exercises shows as they became spontaneous topics of conversations at ​dinner that night and into the next days. People talked about epiphanies and insights - and we don't usually use those terms. And our ​folks have taken the lessons to heart. One thing that was so interesting was that if someone was quite verbal, our trainers worked with ​the way they spoke, but if someone was kinesthetic, they could actually bring some things out of them with action or body language. Of ​note - I have heard zero negative comments. You would, in a group our size, expect something negative - we have a lot of very ​analytical folks - but there was no negative comment. Well done, gentlemen. I hope we can use you, again."
