Testimonials
”We really are the CEOs of our lives and the ultimate controllers of our destiny. In The Healthy CEO, Dr. Ohlhauser takes a holistic view of our physical, relational, and financial health. Think of it like the three-legged stool concept. If one element gets out of balance, there is no way you are going to stay upright. This book is humorous, insightful, and timely given our 24/7 mentality. No matter what your title or position in business or in life, this book gives you practical ideas on ways to becoming the best you can be. It doesn’t just tell you to change, it actually tells you how to change. Taking responsibility for your personal wellness may in fact be the best investment you could make. Loved the book and hope you do as well."
- Book Review by Patricia Lovett-Reid, host of MoneyTalk on the Business News Network (BNN).
“As a co-producer of CEO-TV I was reviewing the interview in preparation for editing, and he is one of the best prepared and best-spoken guests we have ever had. He provided us with a great amount of excellent material, for a compelling and educational piece that is perfect for our audience. As a speaker and author on workplace issues myself, I thoroughly enjoyed his book."
- Steve Prentice, Consulting Producer for CEO-TV
"You saved my life." Perhaps you don't remember me, I was the CEO of the engineering firm, sitting in the front row taking copious notes, in Vancouver a month ago. When I got home, I was showing my wife the self assessment results from page 2 of your workbook, in what turned out to be my life changing manual. She said, "Looks like you flunked the test." "Before we leave on holidays you better get a check-up. That's what saved my life. The Doctor said, "Bob, you're in trouble, you need immediate surgery on your heart. " Afterwards he said that if I had gone on holidays there was a 90 % chance I would be dead.

“ Larry, I want to thank you for helping me to make a significant change in my life for the better. After seeing your seminar the first time, I made up my mind to take your advice, it just made sense. After seeing your seminar again almost two years later, I found it just as exciting, and I was able to pick up a lot of additional information.I was so proud to see that in two years, I was able to achieve significant improvements in my health. Thanks again for giving me the greatest gift, health.”

“Dr. Larry Ohlhauser spoke to my two groups this week on the topic ‘The Healthy CEO: An inspirational workshop for achieving the health balance you desire.’ Absolutely one of the best presentations I have seen in my 10 years with TEC!”
Ed McClelland, TEC Canada
“ I attended the presentation Be the CEO of your Health, and I appreciated its thoroughness and organized structure. The information was personally helpful and well supported through the use of the workbook and the other interactive aspects of the presentation. Larry's personable nature and approachable style enhanced the effectiveness of his message that we are able to take personal responsibility for our health. Although the audience was small in number, at least one person returned to his office looking at the possibility of booking Larry for a presentation for that organization. On a personal note, I am now reaping the benefits of Larry's presentation as I track my 10,000 steps on a daily basis!

Last week we had a resource speaker who did all four of my groups over four days and the results were excellent. I was somewhat concerned, as we had undertaken the health topic only three months prior at our retreats. But Dr. Larry Ohlhauser, The Healthy CEO author, scored superb marks and kept the groups involved, including the Chair who was absorbing the subject four times. I can guarantee that your members will have great take-aways; that they will not treat the need to act as unimportant.I highly recommend Dr. Larry Ohlhauser as a resource speaker for regular meetings or retreat events.

“I heard you speak at the Muttart Conservatory in Edmonton. Your speech made sense to me and even though I am not a CEO, I thought that the same concepts apply to teachers as well. So, I decided that I would wear the pedometer and see if I could get my 10000 steps/day. I was shocked that my average number of steps was around 3700. I saw myself as an active person, but I guess some life changes had to be made. So, I incorporated a 45 - 50 minute walk each day. I am very happy to tell you that I hit my first million steps yesterday!!!! I plan to hit the second million around Mother's Day. I find myself encouraging others to wear a pedometer and challenge themselves to 10,000 steps/day.”
- Donna Hamilton
“Your presentation at our retreat was what pushed me over the edge. I was almost there but am fully 'there' now. I have shed about 40 lbs. My wife says I look better than I ever have in the last few years. I look at recent pictures and wonder who the "other" guy is. Congratulations and my best wishes.”

“I’ve met a lot of CEOs and entrepreneurs over my years. Sadly, they too often learn about success outside of their career when it’s much too late. I will highly recommend The Healthy CEO book and program to every CEO I meet. This book is not only full of practical advice and humor, but it’s so timely in today’s business climate. The folks who step off the racetrack long enough to read this will be forever thankful they invested in themselves.”

I recommend his book to anyone who is wondering about the path they are on, and is looking for guidance on how to make positive changes.”
