Les Brown delivers a high-energy message that assists professionals in shaking off mediocrity and living up to their greatness. His message is reflective of what he has learned from his own life, and one that he is helping others apply to their lives. Brown has had no formal education beyond high school, but with persistence and determination he has initiated and continued a process of unending self-education, which has distinguished him as an authority on harnessing human potential.

The event will be hosted by WPXI Anchor Darieth Chisolm and will feature Brown speaking to Pittsburgh's entrepreneurs on how to impact their business and Pittsburgh's business community by using their vision, discovering their purpose and igniting the drive that lies within all who inspires to greatness.
