History repeats itself for these two, but the stage reflects another level of achievement.
As a renowned professional speaker, author and television personality, Les Brown has risen to national and global 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 learned from his own life and one he is helping others apply to theirs. The incredible irony is on September 29, 2008 Les Adkins received his MBA Degree and Les Brown gave the commencement speech that day. “Six years later I get to share a stage with Les Brown at the Lifestyle of Achievement Summit event December 8, 2014,” says Adkins, “I was very motivated and moved by his speech and know that it helped me get to where I am today.”
Known to many as the “Zig Ziglar of Social Media”, Les Adkins helps Businesses Bridge the Gap between Old Corporate and Tech-Savvy Business Models. In addition to his featured articles in such media sources as ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox, he’s been an international speaker, trainer, and inspiration to many-certainly a perpetuation of his primary influences, Ziglar and Brown.
With more than 25 years of sales and marketing experience and a talent for teaching teams how to do what he does with such ease, he finds himself bridging the widening gap between old corporate models and today’s tech-savvy stakeholders. He continues to help leaders and organizations build influence and create a whole brain digital strategy to succeed in a Digital World.
“I have had the pleasure to work with Les for several years. To say that Les is knowledgeable about Social Media, the marketplace and Social trends is a major understatement. Les brings a Whole Brain thinking approach to Social Media in such a forward thought process, it allows all to think outside-the-box on their Social Media and Clients.
Les is highly respected by his peers and industry leaders as one of the top experts in Social Media in the world. Les’ approach to teaching and education is so strong, because it is his life passion! Les takes each initiative on as a personal goal, to achieve each and every vision for his clients and students’, showing them the right way forward.
Whether one on one, to an executive board, sales team or an audience of 1000’s, Les’ highly energetic style, delivery and his in-depth knowledge will captivate everyone. Les is not only up to date on the industry, he also keeps his clients and students informed on upcoming trends, is very organized, diligent, easily reachable, and always on time. I highly recommend Les Adkins for teaching, educating, developing strategy for Social Media, and speaking engagements.”-Patrick Nolan , Chief Operating Officer/Global Business Development
