You did more in one hour to bring rewards and recognition to life than any of the rest of us could do over months and months of trying. Thank you! I've heard many comment that you were the best speaker they've heard at any HSBC conference ever, anywhere in the world.

His work has been called a “must read for modern managers,” by Larry King of CNN.

Elton’s books have been translated into more than 30 languages and have sold more than a million copies worldwide. As a motivation expert, Chester has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Fast Company and the New York Times, and has appeared on NBC’s Today Show, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, National Public Radio and CBS’s 60 Minutes.

Chester serves as a leadership consultant to firms such as American Express, AT&T and Procter & Gamble. He is most proud, however, to be the father of four exceptional children—all the more exceptional now they have grown up and left home.
