 "Chris spoke to our Fan Experience, Creative, and Live Production departments during a retreat within the Auburn Athletics Department.  Throughout his presentation, Chris provided personal stories and lessons learned over his 30+ year career in the Marines.  Chris’s servant leadership not only inspired us to value invisible medals over physical ones, but also reminded us of the value of giving invisible medals out as well.  In short, Chris’s message was inspiring, and left us wanting to hear more!"|    David Pedersen, Assistant Athletics Director

"Chris Richie presented his insights on his recent book, "The Invisible Medal" to our Rotary Club. His impression instilled in me the impact we make when we take the time to place value on the relationship and foster a spirit of service with others and in ourselves. This is a true spirit that each Rotarian shares in the 4-way test to inspire us to change the world."  Karen C.

Leading with a Higher Purpose

 Chris' inspirational storytelling captivates his audience, leaving them asking for more. Our team found immense value in reflecting on our life and leadership crucibles, promoting a deeper examination of our purpose and priorities in leadership. Through introspection into our personal beliefs and their impact on our leadership styles, I discovered my own non-negotiables and found better ways to support my team.
