Larry Wilson (1930-2013) ranks among the highest grossing corporate speakers of all-time. After his 5-year mentorship with Bill Gove, (1912-2001) the father of professional speaking, Larry founded Wilson Learning, which became the 2nd largest training company in the world. Bob Proctor called Larry Wilson, “The smartest guy in the history of personal development”. In this clip, taken in July 2002, at the National Speakers Association Convention in Orlando, Florida, Larry describes his first phone conversation with Bill Gove back in 1960, when he told Bill he wanted him to teach him how to become a professional keynote speaker. The subsequent partnership of Wilson and Gove from 1960-1965 changed the landscape of the professional speaking and training industry. This is the first conversation between two of giants of personal development. #personaldevelopment,
