Achieving Greatness with Denis Waitley: From Astronauts to Super Bowl Champions
Meet The Masters Series: Denis Waitley PHD
My next guest is world-renowned Denis Waitley. This is an interview I wanted to get for you for so many years, and I finally managed to get hold of Dennis early one morning, the day before he flew to Japan on yet another major speaking tour. The line is a little bit crackly, but you can certainly hear every word that Dennis has to say. And every one of them is worth hearing.
Let me tell you a little bit about him. Denis Waitley is one of America's most respected authors, Keynote lectures, and productivity consultants on high performance human achievement. He has inspired, informed, challenged and entertained audiences for over 40 years from the boardrooms of multinational corporations to the control room of NASA space program, from the locker rooms of world class athletes to the meeting rooms of 1000s of conventioneers throughout the world.
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 12 nonfiction books, including several international bestsellers, seeds of greatness being the best the winner's edge, the joy of working and empires of the mind.
His audio program the Psychology of Winning is the all-time best selling program on self-mastery. Dr. Waitley has counseled winners in every field from Apollo astronauts to Super Bowl champions from sales achievers to government leaders and youth groups.
He has served as chairman of psychology on the US Olympic Committee sports medicine Council, responsible for the performance enhancement of all US Olympic athletes. He is a founding director of the National Council on self-esteem, and the President's Council on vocational education and received the youth flame award from the National Council on youth leadership for his outstanding contribution to high school youth leadership.
As president of the International Society for advanced education, inspired by Dr. Jonas Salk, he counseled returning POWs from Vietnam and conducted simulation and stress management seminars for Apollo astronauts.
I could go on and on about his achievements, qualifications, and the differences he has made to the lives of so many people. But perhaps it's better if we hear for ourselves the difference he can make to our thinking.
So let's go now and listen to Dr. Denis Waitley.
