Orrin C. Hudson is a self-taught winner.  Growing up poor in an Alabama housing project with a family of 13 siblings taught him at an early age the meaning of sacrifice and community.  His personal growth vision unfolded when his oldest brother Eric introduced him to chess. 

 

Later, his high school teacher, James Edge, bought him a chess book that taught the teenager to focus on making the right moves. It was the first book Orrin ever owned and he read it from cover to cover numerous times.  Voted Most Likely to Succeed and Outstanding Student in his senior year, Orrin stepped into the world and began to exceed those predictions.

When Orrin made the move to develop his personal greatness, life took on a new meaning.  As an adult, he served as an Alabama State Trooper for six years, developing the discipline needed to be a winner.  He later owned and operated a car dealership, succeeding once again as a business and community leader.

Being the best continued to be a large part of Orrin’s personal developmental strategy, gleaning back to back victories in the City Chess Championships in 1999 and 2000.  Winning against all odds helped him realize a higher goal in life.

Orrin began to teach others how to think strategically, plan effectively and build self-confidence using chess as his vehicle.  Remembering how Abraham Lincoln’s mother’s advice to “be someone” had helped Lincoln aspire to the White House, Orrin used that simple, yet monumental, concept to his fullest advantage.  Focusing his talents on children, he began teaching others to "Be Someone" through his highly effective and much lauded presentations.

A dynamic motivational speaker, Orrin extols the time-tested strategies of chess as a metaphor for the game of life.  With such motivating titles as “Winning by Choice”, “The Gratitude Attitude” and “The Triple A Success Formula,” his keynote topics combine humor and personal winning experiences with common sense approaches to creating success and happiness.  His enthusiasm is infectious.

The subject of countless news articles and television interviews, including such national recognition as USA Today, CNN Headline News, and CNN American Stories, The Word Network, Orrin is noted for sharing a winning mindset that enables his students and audiences to believe in themselves.  He continues to attract community service awards, having won some of the most prestigious for the educational arena. 

Orrin continues to hone his empowerment skills and expand his winning horizons. Understanding that true champions do not step into the winner’s circle alone, his hand is outstretched to others who also seek to find the champion within and strive to “Be Someone” special.
