Thomas Williams with the Jon Gordon Team was originally brought in to present at our annual staff retreat for all supervisors. To my knowledge, the Jon Gordon Team has had very little experience training law enforcement, therefore I warned Thomas that law enforcement is a challenging crowd to present to! Thomas knocked it out of the park! His enthusiasm and positivity are infectious, and he was able to get participation from everyone. The material is exceptional and relevant regardless of your profession. Thomas’ message was so well received, the command staff arranged for him to deliver this message to all sworn and civilian personnel! I truly believe the “Power of Positive Leadership” will be integral in the future culture at our department and I can’t thank him enough! Feed the positive dog!

Thomas spoke at one of our company events and did a fantastic job. The content was deep and well received, and Thomas has a gift to bring the content alive through personal stories and an emotional connection that very few speakers can achieve with large groups. I would highly recommend Thomas to any business or non-profit leader looking to bring more depth, purpose, and connection to their leadership team or companies as a whole.

I had the pleasure of working closely with Thomas R. Williams, and I must say his enthusiasm and passion for positive leadership are truly inspiring and insightful. He brought a vibrant energy to every meeting, motivating the entire insurance leadership team to strive for excellence.

Thomas played a pivotal role in helping the Everest Insurance team build strong trust among its members, fostering an environment of open and honest communication and collaboration. Through his guidance, the team became more effective and connected, making well-informed decisions and achieving remarkable results. His ability to lead with empathy and understanding made him an exceptional mentor and coach. Thomas' dedication to empowering others has left a lasting impact on both individuals and the organization.

I highly recommend working with Thomas, as his genuine commitment to positivity and growth creates a remarkable and uplifting atmosphere for everyone involved.

Green Hills was looking for the right person to lead us in redesigning our company culture, and we found Thomas! His presentation on the Power of Positive Leadership exceeded expectations. Through breakouts and fun exercises, Thomas quickly had the entire team engaged and interacting with each other. For us, it was more than just a few hours during the workshop. He wanted to get to know us; experience our environment during visits and Zoom meetings well in advance. He immediately inspired us that leading with Love and Positivity as our guiding values will be the foundation of the culture we want to become.

The Power of a Positive Team is allowing us to enhance the culture in our district. Leaders in our district now have a framework for creating synergy around a common purpose, and our training has provided each of our leaders with a clear path to building and maintaining the highest level of effectiveness within their teams. Perhaps the most significant outcome of our leadership series is that it enabled us to communicate a common set of standards around connection with others and reminded us that the caliber of our connection with people will determine the organizational commitment to the purpose.

We recently invited Thomas to facilitate a Power of Positive Leadership workshop for 85 of our company’s top members of leadership. His message was very powerful and motivational in terms of building a strong, positive culture, leading with optimism, and developing a connected team. His workshop received outstanding feedback from the participants, who appreciated Thomas’s energy and message along with the practical tools he provided us to be positive leaders, which ultimately will help us achieve our business goals.

Thomas was one of the keynote speakers at the 13th Indonesia HR Summit 2023. He was very motivating and spiritful during the presentation, where he maintained the enthusiasm of more than 1000 audience members even though his session was held after the lunch break. His inspiring journey was remarkable and motivated all the audience members to be bold, taking action without fear. It was a very successful session, and Thomas was truly inspiring!

If you are looking for a nationally known name, but a genuine and humble man, Thomas R. Williams is your man! He came with a motivating, engaging and inspiring message on perspective and how that affects you in the workplace. It was relevant and relatable from top managers to employees. The highlight of our time with him though will be the time he spent afterwards mingling, sharing and speaking 1:1 to many of our staff. He was down to earth and approachable for all! Thomas could read the phone book and I would be engaged and attentive, he is that good!

Thomas was a featured speaker at the annual conference hosted by our firm at the Ritz Carlton. The attendees entered the room with diverse backgrounds and experience in our industry. He took the time to understand our line of work and the challenges that are faced on a daily basis. During his time with our firm, he related the challenges and lessons that he has learned to inspire and motivate the advisors at the firm. His theme of “What the best do better than everyone else” shared stories about his time on and off the football field and what it takes to achieve success. It was a pleasure working with him and we look forward to an expanding relationship in the future.

I have asked the attendees for feedback on the meeting that Thomas attended. I have received outstanding comments and feel that our investment in Thomas was money well spent. He has great command and presence and conveys unbridled enthusiasm. I look forward to hiring him again in the future.

We had the recent opportunity to engage Thomas at our Global Leadership Conference in Scottsdale, AZ. Starting from the initial planning stages to the actual execution of the presentation he was the consummate professional. He took the time to study our business and tailored his discussion around the points that were relevant to our team. His enthusiasm was evident and he was successful at capturing the attention of our audience. The feedback post our conference has been extremely positive and I would highly recommend Thomas for future speaking engagements. A true pleasure to work with!!

Thomas has a type of x-ray vision that allows him to see through the surface of what a company is/does and understand its inner workings, processes, and most importantly, the PEOPLE who make it all happen. His presentation targets people as professionals as well as human beings. It will engage, motivate and inspire your future leaders.

USSSA hosted Thomas Williams as the keynote speaker for our annual convention in 2022. We are a sports-sanctioning body whose annual convention services our Directors, that host youth and adult sports around the country representing the USSSA brand. Thomas brought energy, excitement, and unity to his message to support our convention theme of Success Through Synergy as we work internally to get our team together in every facet. With Thomas’ professionalism and delivery, I would recommend him as a keynote for any company, sports team, or group of people hoping to be brought together by the power of words. His first-hand experience and tenacious attitude will lead him far into speaking engagements.

Thomas R. Williams was the executive session speaker at Biola University's Staff Development Conference. He shared with our high level administrators “What the best do better,” motivating them to be better team coaches and team players. He was fantastic and received some of our highest ratings. Those who attended commented, “Very practical and personal. Can’t wait to take this to my team." “Exceptional motivation, content, and interaction with those who attended.” And that Thomas was, “Prepared, likeable, professional, but personable, inspiring and gifted.”

As the event planner for the meeting, I must say it was an absolute pleasure working with Thomas and his team! Thomas made a point to understand what our objective was for the meeting and he nailed it!! I had underestimated the amount of time for our agenda and I had an hour that needed to be filled. Thomas could see the panic on my face and asked “What do you need me to do?” my reply was “I need you to fill an extra hour of time talking.” He looked at me with a big smile and said “Absolutely, I got this for you!” He saved the meeting and no one had any idea that he was not supposed to speak that long. He even finished the meeting with a Q&A that was awesome!! I can’t thank Thomas enough!!!
