Leslie Calvin “Les” Brown was born on February 17, 1945. He is an American based motivational speaker, author, radio DJ, former television host, and former politician.

As a politician, he is a former member of the Ohio House of Representatives. As a motivational speaker, he uses the catch phrase “it’s possible!” and teaches people to follow their dreams as he learned to do. He was the host of The Les Brown Show.

Brown was born with his twin brother, Wesley, in an abandoned building in Liberty City, a low-income section of Miami, Florida. He was subsequently given up for adoption and adopted by Mamie Brown, a 38-year-old single woman who worked as a cafeteria attendant and domestic assistant.

At grade school he was mistakenly declared, “Educable mentally retarded,” teachers did not recognize the true potential of little Les Brown. Despite the self-esteem and confidence loss this situation caused, Brown learned how to reach his full potential with the encouragement of his mother and assistance by a helpful teacher in high school.

This would prove to be a key point in many motivational speeches he now gives. Brown says, “The thread is forever strengthened, touting why you can’t afford to be complacent and to aim high, achieve and actively make an impact on the world.”

His followers attest that Les Brown “never tires of using his energies to better the world, well-beyond the podium and public appearances.” He is also known for meshing traditional and social media to empower his audiences.

Addressing audiences from Denmark to Dubai, Canada to the Caribbean, Spain to South Africa, Les Brown is invited back again and again for his powerful message and the ability to connect deeply with people from all walks of life.

It isn’t just his great smile and his way with words that motivates people to take action like never before. When people face roadblocks or adversity it is the depth of his knowledge on achievement that creates lasting results.

Les Brown’s straight-from-the-heart, passion and high-energy, motivates audiences to step beyond their limitations and into their greatness in many ways. Over the past decade, Brown has expanded his role from keynote speaker to Master Trainer, creating the kind of workshop learning experience that got him committed to personal-and-professional development many years earlier.

His charisma, warmth and humor have transformed ordinary people into extraordinary achievers by using his own life. And his in-depth study of others’ challenges, to build an understanding of what works, what doesn’t work, and why.

Legions of followers flock to stadiums and arenas to hear a man who never stops believing that with proper guidance and training you can achieve anything you desire in life.
