Brian Williams Biography

Brian Williams is recognized not only for his extensive career in journalism but also for his leadership as the CEO of Perspectivity, a communications firm specializing in refining sales messages. Having begun his broadcasting career in 1981 at KOAM-TV in Pittsburg, Kansas, Williams has since built a reputation for his dynamic and motivational speaking style, which he now applies in helping organizations enhance their communication strategies.

Williams' expertise spans beyond journalism; he has a substantial background in computer science which assists him in working effectively with both Silicon Valley startups and Fortune 500 companies. His unique blend of technical and communication skills enables him to offer specialized keynotes such as "A 6-Step System for Creating Influential Sales Messages" and "Emotional Intelligence 2.0." Moreover, in his keynote "God Don't Make No Junk!" Williams shares insights from his personal life's challenges and successes, resonating deeply with his audiences.

Over the years, Williams has been honored with numerous awards for his journalistic work, including eleven Edward R. Murrow Awards, 12 Emmy Awards, the duPont-Columbia University Award, the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism, and the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award. His career in journalism peaked as he anchored the "NBC Nightly News," which under his tenure, maintained its status as the nation’s top-rated nightly news program. Post his departure from NBC News in 2021, Williams expressed his intent to embark on new endeavors, reflecting his continuous pursuit of growth and impact in various fields. He remains a native of Middletown, NJ, and has served on the Board of Directors of the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation, underscoring his commitment to civic and community engagement.
