The Voice of Greatness: How Les Brown Shaped Motivational Speaking

One of the legendary Maya Angelou’s infamous quotes states, “People may forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”   A conversation with Les Brown or listening to one of his countless speeches will inspire you to see yourself differently.  Brown’s world renown impact has less to do with the million dollar stages he’s graced, or the celebrities in his rolodex, but instead is rooted in the many lives he’s touched with his words and example.  Without Les Brown there would be no Tony Robbins,  no Eric “the hip hop preacher” Thomas,  no Daymond John, or perhaps even no T.D. Jakes. All the above-mentioned names are recognized for their undeniable ability to leverage words and examples to energize and palpably push their listeners towards their dreams. Les opened the doors and created a platform for today’s voices that are celebrated by their ability to instigate and inspire others to chase the greatness within themselves.
