If you had told me a few years ago I would have my own web site that provided coaching and support to people around the world, or that Irnwould juggle for audiences, you would received some funny looks inrnreturn. I grew up in a loving, two parent household and never thought about anything other than a safe secure job.
But life has a funny way of helping those amazing parts of us come out - when we're open to accepting our greatness!
I have worn many different hats in the coaching and counseling fields. A high school guidance counselor and director since 1992, Irnhave been a presence in the coaching field since 1999. I began byrnproviding personal consultation and coaching for the home business organizatio I developed with my wife. Later on I became one of ther Internet's leading authorities on education, parenting and college planning as "The Guidance Guy" at the wildly popular websiter RateMyTeachers.com and my own advice column.
Over the last few years I have turned my focus tor Law of Attraction based coaching for adults looking to make changes torntheir emotional, financial, physical and spiritual health. My articles have been widely published on the Internet and I've been featured inrnseveral books and jou als.
I hold a bachelors degree in psychology from ther State University of New York at Albany and a masters degree inr Counselor Education and advanced professional diploma in Educationalr Leadership, both from Central Connecticut State University. I have trained more than 20 graduate students as beginning professional counselors.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Larry Hochman
Dear Friend,
You did not come to this page byrnaccident.You are here because some self-imposed limitation is holding you, someone you love or your group back from the greatness that's inside all of us.
And now it's time to replace those limitations with success, prosperity and unending possibilities!
I WAS HELD BACK FOR YEARS
For much of my life I held myself back from my own greatness. I was a victim of low self-esteem, confusion, negative self-talk and the need to get approval from others.
Then I decided to face the things that held me back. I discovered a whole new world of power, abundance and happiness. And I discovered something else important...the challenges never end! There is always a new mountain to climb, a new fear to face, a new obstacle to overcome.
But today I wake up with a sense of inner peace and confidence in my own ability to face these challenges. Life is fun!
THE ANSWER...
It's very simple. We are held back from our happiness because WE HOLD OURSELVES BACK.
We have forgotten how CAPABLE we are.
We have forgotten how POWERFUL we are.
We have forgotten how RESOURCEFUL we are.
We have forgotten how DESERVING we are.
We have forgotten how LOVED we are.
All of us. Yes, you too!
I CAN HELP YOU!
For years I've been helping individuals, families and groups identify thoughts, feelings and behaviors that hold them back from their desires. Whether through my books, audio series, one of my Mastermind groups, or one-on-one contact, I've helped many people achieve levels of success they hadn't even dreamed of.
And through my Juggle To Success and Guidance Guy Seminars, I've helped entire organizations create cultures of healthy risk taking, mutual support, enhanced communication and unbelieveable productivity!
NO MORE HOLDING BACK!
These are some of the folks who - with my help - stopped holding themselves back and discovered how great things can be...
• Small business owners and marketers who are scared and unsure about how to grow their businesses.
• People in positions of leadership who desire career advancement or a greater sense of personal effectiveness.
• Individuals who want to improve relationships with spouses, parents, kids or anyone important in their lives.
• Individuals who just want to feel better and more confident on an everyday basis.
• Compaines, schools, sales and marketing organizations and social service agencies who want to grow, become more productive and cultivate a high energy, healthy risk taking dynamic culture.
