Derrick Boles is one of the most sought after speakers on of Leadership in United States. Founder and President of L.E.A.D.E. R.S.H.I.P. 1st LLC, www.leadership1st.info, Mr. Boles has international experience on the topic of human development, leadership and organizational behavior. Mr. Boles introduced the L.E.A.D.E.R.S.H.I.P.1st model in 2006 .Loyalty, Education, Accountability, Discipline, Empowerment, Respect, Service, Honesty, Integrity and Perseverance.
Working with a number of International and National clients that range from 2 billion dollars in sales to the mom and pop organizations no matter the size of the group or organization there is no event too big or too small for a noted expert in leadership development for business, civil service and education. Mr. Boles’ passion to empower others was established during his time as an international basketball player. While in Australia, he had the honor of working on a pilot
program, now considered the "Best Practice". The program focused on creating opportunities for the indigenous community and developing their leadership skills.
For Mr. Boles, his reason for creating the organization mantra is simple yet very complicated: L.E.A.D.E.R.S.H.I.P. 1st finishes the story. It explains why these traits are valuable and necessary to be successful and more importantly, how to use them in an individuals’ life. It is not uncommon to be given tools necessary to be successful but no instruction on how to use them.
As the organization spearheading the National launch of the "Mentoring Challenge" Mr. Boles holds a Bachelor of Science in Human Services and Psychology and a Master of Business Administration in Human Resources, but his most prized possession is his family. Wife Tanya, Daughter Jasmyne(9) and Javonte (4) and the relationship he has developed with GOD through his work.
