Krish Dhanam, a native of India, migrated to the US in 1986 with his bride Anila, an MBA from IMT Ghaziabad, and nine dollars in his pocket. Winning a sales contest in 1990 earned him a ticket to a seminar conducted by the legendary motivator Zig Ziglar.  This chance encounter would be the catalyst that shaped the next two decades as Krish joined the Ziglar Corporation in 1991 as a telemarketer and eventually became the Vice President of Ziglar Worldwide. Through training, teaching and facilitating seminars all over the world, Krish launched his professional speaking career. As one of only two executive coaches personally trained by Zig Ziglar, Krish has successfully delivered his message of hope, humor and balance in over seventy-five countries on six continents and throughout the United States. His client list is the Who’s Who of global enterprise and he has received accolades from some of the most distinguished organizations. In the year 2008, following a calling on their heart to do something for their motherland, Krish and Anila formed Mala Ministries.  His non-profit forays include equipping front-line shepherds in Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and working with inmates in prisons in the United States. Today he is the CEO of Skylife Success, co-founder of his own training company, author of The American Dream from an Indian Heart and From Abstracts to Absolutes and contributing author to the book Top Performance written by Zig Ziglar, and Hard Headed & Soft Hearted which he co-authored with Rick Belluzzo, former President of Microsoft. The Dhanam’s make their home in Flower Mound, Texas.
