Chris
was personally selected
by two of the legends of the speaking world—Jim Rohn and Zig
Ziglar—to work
with them and he now carries on their legacy. Jim Rohn called
Chris “The leader
of the next generation of personal development and leadership
experts”. Chris co-wrote
Rohn’s last book, The Twelve Pillars.
Zig Ziglar, who is considered to be one of the greatest
motivational speakers
of the 20th century, chose Chris to co-host his
television show,
True Performance.
His
motto is: Turn your
potential into performance, succeed in every area of your life,
and achieve
your dreams. “Often those who fail
do so because they
lose their concentration”, he says. “Something else comes along
and becomes
their new-found fancy. They move from whim to whim, tossed to
and fro by the
strong blowing winds.”
