Les
Parrott
Every couple marrying today is at risk...
Les and Leslie. A husband-and-wife team who not only share the
same name, but the same passion for helping others build healthy
relationships. In 1991, the Parrotts founded the Center for
Relationship Development on the campus of Seattle Pacific University
- a groundbreaking program dedicated to teaching the basics
of good relationships.
Married in 1984, the Parrotts bring real-life examples to their
speaking platform. Their professional training - Leslie as a
marriage and family therapist, and Les as a clinical psychologist
- ensures a presentation that is grounded, insightful and cutting-edge.
Les and Leslie are master communicators. They are entertaining,
thought-provoking and immeasurably practical. One minute you'll
be laughing and the next you'll sit still in silence as they
open your eyes to how you can make your relationships all they
were meant to be.
Each year they speak live to over one million people in more
than 40 cities nationwide and internationally. Their audiences
include a wide array of venues, from churches to Fortune 500
company board rooms. The Governor of Oklahoma appointed the
Parrotts as the first ever statewide Marriage Ambassadors. Authorities
have called upon Les and Leslie to provide on-site support in
the aftermath of worldwide disasters such as Ground Zero and
Chernobyl. The Commander of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines,
invited them to assist his soldiers with re-entry into family
life upon returning from Iraq.
Their books have sold over one million copies in more than two
dozen languages, and include best-selling and Gold-medallion
winner Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts. Other popular
titles include The Control Freak, I Love You More, Becoming
Soul Mates, Relationships, Questions Couples Ask, Shoulda Woulda
Coulda, and High-Maintenance Relationships.
The Parrotts have been guests on many national TV and radio
programs such as CNN, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning,
The View with Barbara Walters, NBC Nightly News, and Oprah.
Les and Leslie are also hosts of the nationally syndicated radio
program Love Talk and are weekly guests on the Fox TV morning
show in Seattle. Their work as been featured in Family Circle,
Redbook, Men's Health, Focus on the Family, Brides, as well
as USA Today and The New York Times. |
