Chris Carlisle's 35 years of experience in the classroom and in the coaching profession has inspired people of all walks of life to maximize their full potential and has made him one of the nation's most sought-after motivational speakers on the circuit. Carlisle focuses on professional and personal development, successful habits of champions in sports and business, and the work habits and leadership principles that allowed them to climb to the top rung of their profession. The underlying tone of all of Chris Carlisle's teachings is that life is too valuable to not maximize one's potential. Why live to the beat of someone else's drum when you are the only one that knows and understands the music within you. No one knows better, than you, the extent of your abilities. After graduating from Chadron State College with a Bachelor of Science in Education, Chris went on to earn a Master's Degree in History from the University of Arkansas. His professional career started as an educator and coach at the high school level, then moved up from collegiate sports to the NFL, winning championships at every level. Chris began his public speaking career as a presenter at coaching clinics. For the next 20 years, he would expand his speaking to corporations, banking institutions, real estate corporations, and commencement speeches. As his reputation as a motivational speaker grew, he left the coaching profession to focus solely on helping individuals, companies, and teams become efficient successful endeavors. See less
