“The Power of Positive Leadership training provided our staff the insight, tools, and empowerment to work together to achieve our goals and build a culture that positions Boise State for future success. I highly recommend the training to any organization searching for tools to inspire employees and transform company culture.”

Jeramiah Dickey

Athletic Director, Boise St. University

“Green Hills was looking for the right person to lead us to the path of 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 the 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.”

Tom Frew

CEO Green Hills Memorial

“We learned so many things from Julie Nee about The Power of Positive Leadership. My biggest takeaway was definitely the “I get to do list.” It’s important to be thankful for the things we GET to do instead of feeling like they are a burden.”

Ocaquatics

“In the Fall of 2019, we partnered with Amy P. Kelly and The Jon Gordon Companies on a Leadership Investment Program for over 200 of our Leaders across the country. The foundation was rooted in the principles of Jon Gordon’s book, The Power of Positive Leadership. We also layered in Strength Finders to help Leaders personalize the concepts to complement their individual talents. Amy’s knowledge, experience, energy and thought leadership came shining through. It was an impactful event due to Amy’s style and delivery. As our team navigates our current environment less than one year later, it is clear that the lessons that we learned in the Fall are on full display by our Leadership Team. Thank you, Amy!”

James Ashworth

Vice President, Customer Support & Services, Southwest Airlines

“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.”

“Bringing Chad and Jade from the Jon Gordon Team to share the Power of Positive Leadership was one of the best things we have done. Our staff really enjoyed this engaging and interactive workshop and have already implemented many of the things they learned in their daily work routine. Positive Leadership is such a powerful tool in motivating and maintaining a great staff.”

J . Keith Carter

Athletics Director, Ole Miss Baseball

“We had the recent opportunity to encgage 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 and captured 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.”

Mike Ryan

Troon Golf LLC- COO

“I want to let you know that attending the Positive Leadership seminar in Virginia was one of the highlights for me this year. In addition to the great content provided in the seminar, your courage, vulnerability, and positivity were inspirational, and I hope that our paths cross again.”

Novartis

“Over the past few years, The Villages Health’s Executive and Leadership Teams were fortunate to participate in The Power of Positive Leadership (POPL) and Teams (POPT) training held by Amy P. Kelly and Thomas R. Williams. The feedback we have received from our leaders’ training surveys, and our very own experiences, have been outstanding! The training curriculum from both POPL and POPT programs provided engaging and thought-provoking opportunities for our leaders to connect, learn, and share knowledge gained with their team members. We have implemented the training principles across our entire organization and the difference this training has made for our workplace culture has truly been amazing! Amy P. Kelly and Thomas R. Williams have both exceeded our expectations! We would recommend them as speakers and trainers to bring these programs to any organization that needs to elevate your leaders and team members to another level! Not only have we established long lasting partnerships with Amy, Thomas, (and Julie!) we have gained a strong network and support system of like-minded professionals who have also experienced these programs, and we’re making a Positive difference in our world together!”
