How To Succeed At Work

Hi! My name is Les McKeown - I'm the author and presenter of 'How to Succeed At Work'

As an international speaker and author, in the last fifteen years I have trained literally thousands of people in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe and Asia on How to Succeed At Work.

I started my working life as a UK-qualified Chartered Accountant (CPA), but I realized early on that my passion was in the life and soul of what makes businesses really tick - not just in the dry figures.

The Search is On: What Makes for Success At Work™?

So, from about 1979 I began to work with entrepreneurs and managers - helping them build their organizations to grow and succeed, all the time learning more about what truly contributes to the success (or failure) of businesses.

Since then I have personally been involved in the launch of over 40 businesses in the USA, Canada, UK, Europe and Asia - ranging from high-tech through low-tech to no-tech, and everything in between.

I've had the pleasure (and challenges) of owning my own professional practice, a graphic design agency, a tool and die manufacturer, a Pizza Hut master license...you name it, I've probably owned and operated something like it.

Because of my experience in starting and successfully running businesses, in the early 'nineties I was asked by the UK government to co-design and deliver 'The Entrepreneurship Program', a business incubator program that eventually ran in 13 locations, launching literally hundreds of businesses, in turn employing many thousands of people.

From the little two-person operation my partner and I started, that incubator program eventually grew to a global training company employing 80 people worldwide, helping others grow and develop their careers and businesses.

The Answer is Clear: It's the People, Stupid...!

As a result of this incredible experience - and the privilege of working with hundreds of entrepreneurs and managers - I began to realize the one inescapable fact that is at the very core of Success-At-Work™:


Nothing - not the product or service, not the funding the business has, not its location or anything else has the impact on a businesses success that its employees do.

Once I realized this, I began to concentrate exclusively on helping employees develop their skills. I continued to teach people How to Succeed At Work, and to write such resources as:

• 'How To Be A Great Mentor...in under 30 Minutes'
• 'The Complete Guide to Mentoring and Coaching'
• 'The Complete Guide to Orientation and Re-Orientation'
• 'Retaining Top Employees'(2002, McGraw Hill),
• 'The Employee Retention MasterClass'...

...and many others (see below for more details).

Providing Tools for Success At Work

Here are just some of the resources I have authored and contributed to in the last two years:




I've used these and other resources in my consulting and teaching work with organizations such as Microsoft, Harvard University, UTC (United Technologies), Overture (formerly Goto.com), Pella Corp, The US Army, The National Security Agency (NSA), Microsoft and many others.
