Some Reasons Why I Choose Les Brown as A Fountain To Draw Inspiration
From & You Should Too.
As a celebrated professional speaker, author & television personality, Les Brown has
risen to national prominence by delivering a high energy message which tells people
how to shake off mediocrity and live up to their greatness. It is a message Les Brown
has learned from his own life and one he is helping others apply to their lives.
Born a twin in low-income Liberty City in Miami, Florida, Les and his twin brother,
Wes, were adopted when they were six weeks old by Mrs. Mamie Brown. Mrs. Brown
was a single woman who had very little education or financial means, but a very big
heart. As a child Les' inattention to school work, his restless energy, and the failure
of his teachers to recognize his true potential resulted in him being mislabeled as a
slow learner. The label and the stigma stayed with him, damaging self-esteem to such
an extent that it took several years to overcome.
Passion to Learn and His Hunger to Realize Greatness Les has had no formal education
beyond high school, but with persistence and determination he as initiated and
continued a process of unending self-education which has distinguished him as an
authority on harnessing human potential. Les Brown's passion to learn and his hunger
to realize greatness in himself and others helped him to achieve greatness. He rose
from a hip-talkin morning DJ to broadcast manager; from community activist to
community leader; from political commentator to three-term legislator; and from
a banquet and nightclub emcee to premier keynote speaker.
In 1986, Les entered the public speaking arena on a full-time basis and formed his
own company, Les Brown Enterprises, Inc. The company provides motivational
tapes and materials, workshops, and personal/professional development programs
aimed at individuals, companies, and organizations.
Award Winning Speaker:
In 1989, Les Brown was the recipient of the National Speakers Association's highest
honor: The Council of Peers Award of Excellence (CPAE). In addition, he was selected
one of the World's Top Five Speakers by Toastmasters international and recipient of
the Golden Gavel Award.
In 1990, Les recorded his first in a series of speech presentations entitled You Deserve,
which was awarded a Chicago-area Emmy, and became the leading fundraising program
of its kind for pledges to PBS stations nationwide.
Best Selling Author and Celebrity:
Les Brown is an internationally recognized speaker and CEO of Les Brown Enterprises,
Inc., he is also the author of the highly acclaimed and successful books, Live Your Dreams,
and newly released book, It's Not Over Until You Win. Les is the former host of The Les Brown
Show, a nationally syndicated daily television talk show which focused on solutions rather
than problems.
