I Raise My Hand, Leadership for Little People (Revised): Leadership For Little People

A motivational speaker and author, Wes learned the power of public speaking at an early age. He launched his 25-year radio career while in high school after winning a contest by answering why he thought he should be the station's star DJ. With the voice and street smarts, he worked his way up into some of the top markets in the country in the Carolinas and Virginia, and ultimately hosted the Morning Drive Show for K.D.I.A. in the San Francisco-Oakland area, the fourth largest market in America.

His career path changed after reading and listening to Les Brown, a best-selling author and one of the hottest motivational speakers on the circuit. He wrote to Les to tell him what an impact his teachings had on him. Les responded, and the two connected on a professional level, as well as, a personal level since they share the same birth date, and Les has a twin brother named Wes.

That was a life-altering experience for Wes Hall, setting the stage for him to start his motivational business, Wes Hall Unlimited (Now know as Totally Motivated, Inc.) Wes was professionally trained by Les Brown, and they've conducted seminars and speaking engagements together.

Today, Wes Hall conducts "Professional Empowerment Symposium, leadership development, branding, and team-building workshops for corporations and organizations across the country.
