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!

I remember when Colonel Blackmon came to visit us at Forward Operating Base Shank in Afghanistan. He climbed up on a gator, and our unit gathered around him. He told us how great we were doing and how much he appreciated us. Jimmy Blackmon was the most caring leader I’ve ever served with.
