Leadership. Influence. Success. Purpose.
Chris Widener has spent more than 35 years helping people and organizations think bigger, lead better, achieve more and live with greater purpose.
He is a New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, the author of 27 books published in 14 languages, and an internationally recognized expert on leadership, influence, sales and personal development.
Chris has worked with companies and organizations around the world, written extensively on the principles of success and leadership, and built a career around one central idea:
The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of the person you become.
LEARNING FROM LEGENDS
Chris had the rare opportunity to learn personally from two of the most influential voices in the history of personal development.
Jim Rohn chose Chris as his last protégé, and the two later co-authored Twelve Pillars.
Zig Ziglar personally selected Chris to co-host his television program, True Performance.
Those relationships helped shape Chris’ philosophy, but his message has also been forged through decades of real-world experience as an entrepreneur, leader, author, coach, teacher and ministry leader.
Chris has experienced success, setbacks, reinvention and growth—and he brings all of those lessons to the work he does today.

MORE THAN ACHIEVEMENT
Chris believes success is bigger than money, titles or accomplishments.
It is about character.
It is about leadership.
It is about relationships.
It is about using your influence well.
And ultimately, it is about what you do with the life you have been given.
Today, Chris’ work reflects the lessons of a lifetime spent pursuing success, studying timeless principles, and asking increasingly important questions about purpose and legacy.
His goal is simple:
Help people think better, lead better, live better, and make their lives count.
