Ripple Effect Thinking
“Because the most important moments in our lives often aren’t the ones we remember. They’re the ones someone else never forgets.”
Make Moments Matter; How Human Connection Becomes Your Legacy
Chris skyrocketed through corporate America to become a top HR executive by the age of 30.
Today, he’s on a mission to bring a more human approach to work that focuses on the person, trust and leaving a legacy you impart every day. Through Ripple Effect Thinking, he is helping inspire leaders to act with intention.
His message is clear: Start a ripple. Whether a leader or a team member, everyone can “be the pebble” by taking meaningful action, no matter how small, to create high-trust cultures that drive speed, momentum and scale.
Start a ripple that drives lasting impact today.
The Golf Experience
It was a picture-perfect day on the greens, and golfers of all ages and skill levels showed up in droves! The 18-hole scramble was fun on Disney’s Magnolia, where a redesign offered new challenges.
Meanwhile, the golf clinic was buzzing with excitement, brimming with future contenders for the coveted Go for the Greens Budding Golfer Award.
You won’t want to miss what’s coming next year — stay tuned!

Hello, my name is Jada. I am currently a senior at Harmony School of Innovation – Garland, and I am from the DFW area. I am interested in both Nursing and Sports Medicine. While both fields involve medicine, I feel that Sports Medicine speaks to me more. The idea of being a physical therapist for a volleyball team sounds not only exciting but also interesting to me because I have always had a passion for volleyball.
