Welcome to Empower For Greatness!
What does leading a life of impact look like for?

Empower for Greatness (EFG)  was birth out of Lavar’s 10+ years in public service and empowering communities at the local, national and international levels. Lavar’s ability as a masterful storyteller and facilitator leave his audiences engaged, inspired, and transformed as he helps them  rewrite a narrative of what is possible. 

The mission of EFG is to help individuals and organizations maximize their potential and actualize greatness. EFG helps leaders, entrepreneurs, and change agents achieve clarity, alignment, and authenticity to become their best selves and fuel their leadership journeys. Through personal development workshops, coaching sessions, and lectures, I bring individuals through a transformational leadership process to facilitate a personal breakthrough.

Lavar’s journey to becoming a social entrepreneur and global change agent has helped audiences overcome mental barriers and self-sabotage, and remove the lid from their untapped potential.
