Jack Canfield, author of the best-selling Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books, will present a lecture as part of The Society of Leadership and Success, a national organization designed to give college students the motivation, support and training to become effective leaders, on Tuesday, February 27, at 6:45 p.m. at William Paterson University in Wayne.

The lecture will be held in the Martini Teleconference Center in Hobart Hall. It is sponsored by William Paterson’s Office of Campus Activities and Student Leadership and presented by The Society of Leadership and Success. William Paterson University currently serves as the host site for the Society’s Speaker Series, and provides live uplinks via satellite to more than 300 member colleges, universities and high schools nationwide. The institution also hosts a student chapter of the society; students who participate in the speaker series and other activities are offered membership in Sigma Alpha Pi, the society’s leadership honor society.

The first twenty students to arrive for the lecture will receive a free autographed copy of Canfield’s book, The Success Principles: How to Get From Where You are to Where you Want to Be.

Canfield, who heads a company founded on the success of the books, Canfield Training Group, is a psychotherapist, educational consultant, trainer and leading authority in the areas of self-esteem, achievement motivation and peak performance. He explains the concept of success and teaches others how to motivate themselves to achieve their goals.
