About Wade Larson
We\'ve talked about the workforce and talent challenge for years. I\'m doing something about it.alongside many partners. I\'m a workforce expert, author, international speaker, career coach, and college professor among other things.I run a non-profit dedicated to helping youth and people of all ages explore, prepare for, and succeed in career opportunities. My purpose helps to align the efforts of employers, educators, associations and agencies to build networks, improve performance, and strengthen business and the community. As a speaker, I share a unique perspective that delivers a fresh blend of reality, motivation, and hope to the audience. If you want the right mix of practical, applicable, and cutting-edge thought leadership, mixed with just the right amount of humor and a twist of cynicism, this doctor has your prescription to cure boring keynotes and workshops. If you\'d like to participate in or support the Institute, please reach out. We\'d love your support. Also reach out to see how I can bring my experience reengineering leaders and companies to help you achieve your best. There\'s always something you\'ll find useful and immediately applicable.
