Lin Appling

"Dear Lin,

How exciting to see the pages and cover of your new book! I am so pleased for you, for I know just how much work went into the project.

I also appreciate the kind references to me and Mel. Both of us have some wonderful memories and I appreciate you sharing those as well as the inspiring words about your own life.

All the best."

"I've known Lin Appling for years and have had the privilege of watching him grow into an incredibly inspiring speaker and author. He is confident with himself and his message. He is one of the most mesmerizing speakers I've ever heard. He delivers a powerful message of life change, hope and his book will truly make a difference in the lives who read it. His message is on target for anyone looking to make a positive difference in their life."

–Tom Vansaghi, Associate Vice Chancellor of College and Community Relations, Metropolitan Community Colleges of Kansas City

"For several years, Lin was a speaker at our New Employee Orientation, which I facilitated. At the end of the session, I always asked the participants to complete an evaluation. The answer to 'what part of the orientation did you like the best?' was always, and emphatically, Lin Appling! There was only one problem - after hearing Lin, all the employees wanted to transfer to his division!

Lin has a unique ability to motivate others with his heartfelt and personal message. He is different from other speakers - he focuses on his own life's experiences and offers tools to help you become the somebody you have only dreamed of becoming."

–Carla Sarver, Consultant, East Asian Relations

"Through hard work and unshakable faith, Lin Appling has soared far above the tough times life has dealt him. In his no-nonsense book, he tells how he grasped success - and shows how every one of us can do it, too.

Lin Appling is a wise and down-to-earth man with a truly inspirational story!"
