Personal Details

Bio

John Wilson is a championship winning athlete, change maker and relentless advocate for the importance of fun, play and passion in work and life. Humbly starting his soccer journey in a pair of Converse high tops, John’s winning mentality and talent with the ball allowed him to experience the sport at the highest levels of the collegiate and professional game.

He currently serves as an Assistant Coach with the Charleston Battery, ambassador for the sport to under-served communities and thought leader for business communities on risk taking, trailblazing and teamwork.

​Whether at the office, at home or in the community, we often feel our actions are not moving the needle in ways that make a difference.

He believes three letters can change all that and is excited to launch his new venture, Yes with John Wilson, a unique initiative dedicated to recognizing the power of YES!

“YES” shapes change-makers and results in the “YES” stories he lives to share.

AGENTS OF CHANGE

How can you affect the world around you? Whether at the office, at home or in the community, we sometimes feel our actions are not moving the needle in a way that makes a difference. In this motivational keynote, John shares universal traits that shape change-makers and tricks for using these characteristics to add a spark to your sphere of influence.

THE SERIOUS BUSINESS OF JOY!

What do you do when you reach one of your goals and the accomplishment doesn’t give you the exhilaration you always dreamed of? Let John educate your team on how to maintain joy in the midst of the grind. Attendees will learn to recognize the signs when they are losing their excitement and the simple steps they can take to reclaim it. Joy-and its absence-is infectious. Equip your audience with the productivity boost that they deserve.
