What others are saying about Chris Widener...

The Angel Inside is truly one of the most inspiring, encouraging motivational books I have ever read. It speaks to everyone who has ever had a dream about anything that has significance. I found it impossible to stop reading, once I got started. This coming from a man who has never completely read a book of fiction, because I had a closed mind on the subject. I have always said, "When I get all of the truth, then I'll start reading fiction." It was a wonderful thrill to read a book of fiction that contained an enormous amount of truth and encouragement.
Zig Ziglar

I have been traveling the world for almost everyday for thirty years and I never get tired of coming to programs like this Jim Rohn Seminar here in Anaheim, CA. One of the great young speakers that just blew me away while I was here is Chris Widener. This young man has the talent, the articulation, the message, the presence. He delivered a dynamic presentation. I think you will be seeing a lot of him in the future; in his books, in his audio programs, his seminars and live presentations. Listen for this man Chris Widener and you will find one of the brand new top stars on the International platform speaking circuit.
Denis Waitley

At our National Sales Conference and in my twenty years of sales and leadership experience, Chris Widener delivered one of the most animated, dynamic motivational talks I have ever experienced.

What a talented speaker who truly helps you self-examine, do the things that others don't, all while incorporating standards of excellence.

Chris was very challenging and enriching. The leadership principles that he spoke on were at the very core of what we are trying to accomplish here on the HBS campus. Chris taught us the tenets of true leadership and how to immediately apply those truths in our own leadership situation. I would encourage everyone to learn from Chris Widener's Extraordinary Leaders seminar!
