He has inspired, informed, challenged, and entertained audiences for over 25 years from the board rooms of multi-national corporations to the locker rooms of world-class athletes and in the meeting rooms of thousands of conventioneers throughout the world. Recently, he was voted business speaker of the year by the Sales and Marketing Executives' Association and by Toastmasters' International and  inducted into the International Speakers' Hall of Fame.

With over 10 million  audio programs sold in 14 languages, Denis Waitley is one of the  most listened-to voices on personal and career success. He is the  author of 15 non-fiction books, including several international best  sellers, "Seeds of Greatness," "Being the Best," "The Winner's  Edge," "The Joy of Working," and "Empires of the Mind." His audio album, "The  Psychology of Winning," is the all-time best selling program on  self-mastery.
