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.

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.
