From AT&T Stadium to City Hall, Jeff Williams has dedicated his life to building and creating meaningful places where people feel a deep sense of connection and belonging.
Creating a sense of place starts by recognizing and valuing people’s roots, identities and cultures and making them feel that they matter in building something special. For communities, cities, businesses and organizations, this sense of place drives connection, commitment and passion. People will always be invested in bettering and protecting what they feel they are a crucial part of.

ABOUT
It’s the question everyone wants the answer to: How do you create unity in such a diverse, and sometimes divisive, community or workplace? It’s essential for thriving businesses, communities, nonprofits or any initiative, as it forms the foundation for collective success.
Unity starts with listening to and valuing opinions at all levels, creating mutually shared goals. Ensuring that everyone feels valued, that their work is meaningful and that they play a role in achieving success is crucial.
If you don’t believe in it, who else is going to? Maintaining a positive outlook and energy throughout a challenge largely determines the success you experience. A leader’s attitude can inspire optimism and perseverance in others. Or it can breed doubt, resentment, and tension. From start to finish of a project, it’s up to the leader to set the tone, ensuring consistent effort and commitment.
You can judge people a lot by the people around them. The people around Jeff are always happy, helpful and smart. That tells me a lot about his leadership.
