Krish Dhanam

Krish Dhanam is a living example of the American Dream. Born in southeast India, he grew up gazing at ships in the harbor and dreaming of the world beyond. Years later, with just nine dollars in his pocket, he arrived in the U.S.—ready to chase opportunity and embrace responsibility. A sales contest in 1990 led him to a Zig Ziglar seminar, sparking a life-changing mentorship. Starting as a telemarketer at Ziglar Corporation, Krish rose to Vice President of Global Operations and became one of only two executive coaches personally trained by Zig himself. Today, Krish has spoken in over 50 countries and across the U.S., sharing a message of hope, humor, and balance. His client list includes the U.S. Army, Marriott, Christian Dior, PepsiCo, Toshiba, and Enterprise. As CEO of Skylife Success and Global Ambassador for the Ziglar Group, he continues to inspire leaders worldwide. He is the author of The American Dream from an Indian Heart, From Abstracts to Absolutes, Missives, Mottos and Maxims, Twilight, co-author of Hardheaded & Softhearted, and a contributing author to Zig Ziglar’s Top Performance. Krish and his wife live in Flower Mound, Texas. https://krishdhanam.wpengine.com/
