Krish Dhanam Biography

Krish Dhanam was born in Vizag, Andhra Pradesh, and completed his MBA at the Institute of Management Technology in Ghaziabad. After finishing his education, he migrated to the US in 1986 with his bride Anila. A turning point in his career came in 1990 when he won a sales contest that earned him a ticket to a seminar conducted by Zig Ziglar. This event led to Dhanam joining the Ziglar Corporation in 1991 as a telemarketer, where he was personally trained by Zig Ziglar. He rose to become the Vice President of Global Operations at the corporation.

Throughout his career, Dhanam has established himself as a keynote speaker, addressing topics such as faith, freedom, the American Dream, and various business and motivational themes. He is known for his dynamic and engaging speaking style, which has brought him to over seventy countries and all across the United States. Dhanam's client list includes prominent organizations such as The United States Army, American Airlines, Christian Dior, and Marriott Hotels. His proficiency in topics ranges from sales and global business to customer service and team building.

Currently, Dhanam holds multiple roles: he is the CEO of Skylife Success, the Global Ambassador for the Ziglar Group of Companies, and the Global Corporate Adjunct for Ravi Zacharias Ministries. He also serves as Managing Partner at Skylife Success, developing global educational curriculums, and is the President of Mala Ministries. His written works include "The American Dream from an Indian Heart," "From Abstracts to Absolutes," and "Hard Headed and Soft Hearted," co-authored with Rick Belluzzo. Additionally, he is a contributing author to "Top Performance" by Zig Ziglar.

The Dhanams reside in Flower Mound, Texas, and are the proud parents of Nicolas, a mechanical engineering graduate from the University of Tulsa.

The Dependability Factor

Are you going through life just being counted or are you growing through life being counted on? Learning to live your day by the clock and your life with a vision is sometimes easier said than done. But when you understand the tri-dimensional nature of man's composition you will begin to see that there is a method and madness to excellence. Here the approach is more holistic in terms of giving people an opportunity to look at their effort and output in the totality of the human experience. Relying on debunking some traditional myths, business speaker Krish Dhanam will draw an anthropological thread for success and significance.

The American Dream Has No Snooze Button

This is one of the most requested topics in a time when we are undergoing unprecedented change. Here the design, development, and delivery of the keynote is tailored to meet the specific requirements of the client. Business speaker Krish Dhanam will work with your theme to structure the content of his communication to fit the specific requirements of your group. The basic premise is to remind people that survival is assured and stability is available if you just show up. But by doing what is required and helping one or two other people along the way the quantitative result is unimaginable.

If You Cannot Understand, Stand Under

The premise and foundation of this keynote is take people back to the attributes of foundational thinking. By understanding that there is a way we define and express ourselves and by clinging to the absolutes we know there is a freedom to achieve. In this session business speaker Krish Dhanam will engage the audience with his trademark humor and guide them through a narrative of distinctive motifs that will allow each participant to begin a voyage of self-discovery that allows them to be more, do more, and have more.

Selling Is Not Telling

Having learned the fundamentals of selling from the legendary Zig Ziglar, Krish has authored curriculum in all facets of personal and professional development. To this end his speech, Selling Is Not Telling, pinpoints the mistakes that most sales professionals make when canvassing their product. The eagerness to be feature-driven and not benefit-oriented makes them talk about their product's application versus the solutions that the same product will provide the customer. Here the participants will be engaged in many simulations where they are shown the way to display value once rather than explain price over and over again.
