As CEO of Zig Ziglar Corporation for the past 28 years, Tom Ziglar carries on the Ziglar philosophy: “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want.” He has written two books, Choose to Win in 2019 and 10 Leadership Virtues for Disruptive Times, published and released in December 2021. Both of these books expand the Ziglar branding and philosophy in personal development and leadership, and provide the backbone for the most innovative training and coaching programs in the world.

Tom's Something Extra: “Someone asked me one time, ‘What was Zig Ziglar’s secret?’ He invested the first three hours of the day learning something new, reading God’s word, reading the experts. The motive was purely to share these findings for someone else’s benefit.”
