About Jim

Jim Williams is the epitome of what happens when ‘gifting’ and ‘calling’ come together. Since his life change from Fortune 50 Company Financial Officer to Speaker/Motivator, the best fortune for audience groups is the profound impact of dynamic truth he brings. The tragic loss of 19 year old son, Curt, killed by a drunk driver on November 11, 1995 is part of that truth, providing powerful opportunity for Jim to share authentically with youth and adults alike. Now, after twelve years, Jim Williams has been to hundreds of schools across the country and spoken to thousands of students. As Speaker/Presenter, he is used regularly by the United Way and has an ongoing relationship with the National Center for Youth Issues in Chattanooga, Tennessee; the Love & Logic Institute of Golden, Colorado; and Tennessee’s American Legion Auxiliary Volunteer Girls State. As published author of the book “Parenting on Point” and video series “Proactive Parenting”, he’s been a writer/presenter for United Methodist Publishing’s Abingdon Press. In his full schedule of bookings for faith-based schools, public schools, and organizations, Jim shows an ageless, uncanny ability to touch people where they are. Wherever he goes, return invitations follow. His “call me Jim” approach continues to be met by genuine enthusiasm and his message is sprinkled with life lessons that bloom long after Jim Williams has left the building.

“This is my calling – this is what I am doing to honor my wife, Carol, and my children’s lives.” —Jim Williams
