Bio
Dan Woerheide
Les is an outstanding and dynamic speaker. His experience and ability to relate with his audience made for an engaging experience. Les shared his passion for leadership through his personal experiences as CEO. He provided unique and invaluable insights into failures and obstacles, lessons learned and what others can do to avoid costly mistakes when growing their company.

After reading Les's book "Don't F--- it Up", I knew right away that I wanted his wisdom and experience in helping the founder of Dude Solutions and I navigate the challenges of a founder/successor transition. Les came in for a session with Kent and I as well as our team. He stayed in touch through the first year as we crossed various bridges. As a direct result of his advice and experiences, I can say that the transition at Dude was a text book success case. Read the book. Bring Les in. He is a guy who has walked the talk. High recommendation for him as a leader, counselor and author!

I love to teach but end up being the learner. Teaching is my opportunity to share all the wisdom I have accumulated during my four decades of experience. In return I have the privilege of getting energized by my students. I love to teach but end up being the learner.
