Customer Reviews

Pete Cherecwich President C&IS Northern Trust

After Jimmy Blackmon spoke to a group of approximately 1200 employees and vendors at our company’s International Sales Conference, many attendees mentioned his presentation in response to the survey question: What did you like best about the conference? Some of the terms used to describe it were “amazing,” “excellent,” “phenomenal,” and “outstanding”. His inspiring military credentials, combined with his natural gift for storytelling, bring his experiences to life in a compelling way that audiences of varying ages and backgrounds can all relate to.

Donna Williams Chief Marketing Officer & General Manager of Sales, Pool Corp

Jimmy’s authenticity allows him to connect with every level of an organization. His inspirational stories around leadership, as well as encouragement on the power of cultivating positive relationships, allowed our team to have a greater understanding of each other as well as how we better motivate and communicate within our organization. I would highly recommend Jimmy for any company looking to maximize each employee’s potential.

Meg K. Guliford Editor-in-Chief, Fletcher Security Review Ph.D. Candidate Tufts University, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy

Jimmy’s experience as a proven leader shines through in his presentations. I have had the privilege of hearing Jimmy twice and I was able to take away from each talk. I would hear him again. Our employees can be quoted as saying, ‘home run’ and “…excellent speaker and he delivered a great message…’ Jimmy adapted his presentation to our business in a creative way. I am not sure how we top Jimmy’s presentation at next years company-wide meeting without inviting him back!
