Born and bred on the rough
streets of Bronx, NY, when deemed the murder
capital of the world, Chris Gloss began life as
a potential statistic. The youngest of four
children born to a devoted, single mother on
public assistance, life was anything but easy.
The grim reality of hopelessness, coupled with
the pain of never experiencing the relationship
he desired and desperately needed with his
biological father, began to take its toll. A
host of bad choices, wrong associations and
life-threatening situations would put Chris on a
fast track toward self destruction. However,
painful losses of countless friends to the
violence of the streets & prison cells, and a
God-mother's love and concern, would eventually
cause Chris to take a hard, honest look at his
own life and make a decision to alter its
course.
Cultivation of his leadership
abilities followed, as Chris defended our
country in major conflicts, during his voluntary
service in the United States Army. Maximizing
on his talent for motivating others to
greatness, Chris would go on to become highly
successful in the sales arena, reaching top
levels at numerous prestigious corporations,
while simultaneously coaching fellow employees
to improbable new heights.
An unrelenting passion for
knowledge would become the inspiration for a
host of educational accomplishments at various
respected institutions, including Mercer
University, Central Texas College and Cameron
University. But that burning desire to help
others transform their lives, as he had, would
keep calling him toward the world of personal
development. That calling would lead Chris to
mentorship by such industry greats as Zig Ziglar,
Tom Hopkins, and Les Brown and give birth to the
Author and Possibilities Speaker within.
Today, above and beyond impressive credentials,
it is unquestionably Chris' real life
experiences which enable him to identify and
connect with his audience with passion and
conviction, inspiring them to see beyond
hopelessness and impossibility mindsets, freeing
them from self imposed limitations and helping
them to discover and grasp their own world of
possibilities. Chris Gloss truly is the
message that he brings:
"No matter where a person starts, that
does not have to be their conclusion. I have
seen it in my own life. I started on the bottom
rungs of life, a potential statistic, and
through new choices, hard work and
determination, I've overcome the most
challenging beginning. If this is possible for
me, it's possible for you."
