A native of Ireland, Les was awarded the Samuel Smyth Memorial Prize as a Chartered Accountant (CPA) in the UK and was, at that time, the youngest qualified Chartered Accountant in the UK. After a brief period with Price Waterhouse (now PwC), Les became Ireland's youngest ever accounting firm partner.
After a long career in advising individuals and organizations on growth and development, Les started his own training and development business, and when he sold his share in that practice to his business partner in 1998, it had grown to a 13-office, worldwide training and consulting business.
In 1999, Les relocated to the US, from where he writes, teaches and consults in high-performance organizational development. Les' focus is on guiding executives at all levels to the peak of their leadership growth cycle -- a repeatable, sustainable state that Les calls Predictable Success®. Les excels at diagnosing the stages every executive goes through in their development, identifying what he calls "the DNA of leadership", and showing how these patterns are identified and refined, in order for leaders to experience Predictable Success®.
