Creative Director, Guts and Glory GNV and Manager of Corporate Training, The Haskell Company
Taylor Williams embraces aging because she believes time and experience provide valuable insight. As she matures, she has a heightened ability to see all aspects of strength, including accepting weaknesses and failures.
Williams feels her setbacks have been her greatest propellers to understanding herself and others. Her challenges have built her into someone who is resilient and can sympathize with others’ hardships and self-doubts. As a result, Williams leads with empathy.
As the Manager of Corporate Training for The Haskell Company, she researches, designs and implements training programs around communication, leadership skills, innovation and collaboration. Emotional intelligence and connection are central to her role and are the focus of her passions in teaching others.
Williams started Guts & Glory GNV live storytelling shows as a place for members of the community to share true, personal, comedic stories and find their voices. As creative director, she empowers people to tell their stories with confidence and see their value.
“I want women to know that we all experience life as messy. Perfection or some linear solution is rarely the reality,” she said. “If we bring our authentic selves to life, that is where the magic lies.”
Williams feels fortunate to coach others to connect with the best version of themselves.
Her feelings extend beyond her work to her most rewarding role, as a mom. Williams’ goal is to empower her children to live their lives for themselves, celebrate who they are and find their own way.
