Ferguson Leadership focuses on guiding leaders and shaping legacies.


I've been a local church minister for over 30 years. In that role, I've served as a confidant, friend, pastor, and coach, always focused on guiding leaders in our community. I hold a B.A. in Bible and an M.A. in New Testament Preaching, alongside my training at the Institute of Life Coaching. As a Maxwell Certified Leadership Team member, I have certifications in Speaking and Coaching that enhance my ability to shape legacies among those I mentor. Additionally, I am a syndicated columnist with the Mississippi Press Association, published weekly in various Mississippi publications, and I can also be found on Hottytoddy.com and Substack.
I believe everyone has the potential to live a meaningful life. By identifying and working towards their goals, my clients can unlock their full potential and create a life they love. I'm particularly interested in guiding leaders in ways that benefit all. Leadership that seeks to serve is the cornerstone of success for families, organizations, non-profits, churches, and businesses. Through Ferguson Leadership, we can change the way leaders lead and meet challenges head-on, ultimately shaping legacies for future generations.

I offer a range of services through Ferguson Leadership, including keynotes, one-on-one coaching, group coaching, vision casting, and workshops. These services are designed to help clients overcome obstacles, determine their values, improve their mindset, and achieve their goals. By guiding leaders in this journey, we can work together to enhance your leadership skills and change the climate in your company or organization.

In the aftermath of a double murder, a destroyed family, and a shattered faith, Les Ferguson offers hope to others wrestling with God through a dramatically different study of the Bible’s characters, embodying the principles of Ferguson Leadership. Life happens to us all; when good turns to bad, the journey from bad back to good can seem impossible. In this candid book, Pastor Les Ferguson shares his true story of struggling to believe, not that God existed, but that He cared. The questions of faith and doubt shared in Still Wrestling illustrate Les’s journey through tragedy to a deep, renewed faith, perfectly aligning with the mission of Guiding Leaders in their own struggles. Les approaches God’s word from a perspective entirely different from the average Sunday school book. He guides readers through a study of the Bible’s characters by examining their humanity, seeing their fears, and acknowledging their weaknesses, exploring our own brokenness through the broken characters of God’s Word, ultimately shaping legacies of faith.
