Denis Waitley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Denis E. Waitley (born 1933), is an American motivational speaker and writer,[1] consultant and best-selling author.

Waitley is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis,[2] and has counseled leaders in many fields: Apollo astronauts, Fortune 500 top executives, Olympic gold medalists, Super Bowl champions, returning POWs.[3] He was a founding member of the National Council for Self-Esteem.[4]

He has authored 16 books and has released hundreds of audio lectures.[citation needed]

Résumé Controversy

In 2007, Waitley withdrew his renomination to the board of directors of Usana and announced his retirement from the company, after it was discovered that he did not have a Master's degree he had claimed to have from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.[5][6] In addition to this USANA informed the Wall Street Journal that they were unable to verify Waitley's Ph.D. from the unaccredited La Jolla University.[7]

He currently resides in Ensenada, Mexico and travels to China along with various countries as a business development consultant.
