In today's episode, I will be talking with Coach Jim Johnson. In our conversation, we discuss his “Miracle Night” with J-Mac, teaching trust to students, the keys of an effective leader, and why service to others is essential. So many speakers talk about leadership, but it’s rare to find a speaker who has, quite literally, led thousands. With over 30 years of experience developing winning high-school basketball teams, including 428 career victories, it sets the stage for the unique credibility and power of Coach Jim Johnson’s message. In a moment later celebrated worldwide, Coach weighed risk with the potential for an excellent opportunity for an autistic student-manager, Jason McElwain (JMac), catapulting Jim, the team, and JMac down a path of inspiration and hope.
That one victory continues to reverberate into countless lives as an audience after the audience is touched by a wave of courage and tenacity and witnesses what authentic leadership can accomplish.
