About Les
I believe learning changes everything.
For over 20 years, I've been in the business of helping people grow — not through checkbox training, but through intentional, human-centered learning experiences that actually stick. I've worked with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and everything in between. And no matter the size of the organization, the work always comes back to the same thing: people.
How I work
My approach
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all training. Every organization has its own culture, challenges, and goals — and the learning strategy has to match. I start by listening, then design with intention.
Whether I'm building a leadership development program, facilitating a high-stakes workshop, or speaking to a room of 5000, my goal is the same: create an experience that moves people from where they are to where they need to be.
I'm currently open to remote consulting, speaking dates, seminars and full-time L&D leadership roles where I can bring this approach to a your organization and team.
"The best learning experiences don't feel like training. They feel like a conversation you didn't want to end."
