Les McKeown’s keynote address for our Annual Conference – and his additional 2-hour workshop – is still being talked about by our members as one of our all-time conference highlights.

It’s rare that a keynote address can address the needs of all organizations, of any size, but as I’ve seen first-hand, Les’s does. In addition to being both highly entertained and motivated, our diverse membership all came away with a wholly new perspective on growing their organization, together with clear, actionable steps they were able to implement immediately.

Put simply, if you’re planning an event, you need to call this guy.

- Pamela J. Schmidt, Executive Director, ISA – The Association of Learning Providers

Les McKeown was instrumental in making our client event the best ever. We had very high expectations for Les based on his writing and reputation, but where he exceeded those very high expectations was the ease of which Les and his team are to work with. Planning was a snap, the front-end investment on understanding our client’s interests was a tremendous value add, and he truly “wowed” our most valuable clients.

Further proof of that was in our post event evaluation: Les achieved a 100 Net Promoter Score, and our attendees made such comments as, “Les was incredible and right on! Les was terrific and offered a lot of great insight into how best to approach my team and my firm. Les McKeown provided thought-provoking discussion and observations throughout the program.”

Les was an engaged participant in our program and was a gracious and generous guest and delighted our clients with his insights and charm.

Les McKeown’s keynote presentation at the IFMA President’s Conference was outstanding. Not only was his presentation highly relevant to our conference needs, it was immediately actionable, and gave our members an incredibly valuable new perspective on how to grow their businesses.

Les not only speaks with great humor, insight and experience about how to lead any organization to greater heights of growth, he does so in a way that grips an audience, draws them in, then sends them off with an instantly usable set of tools, including a whole new vocabulary around leadership and business growth.

Finally, not only is Les a great speaker, he’s a pleasure to work with. He invested time in getting to know us and our needs, stayed with our members for the entire time of the conference, and engaged with us afterward to provide highly valuable follow-up resources.
