Jim Smith is The Executive Happiness Coach®, a global provider of executive coaching, and personal and workplace transformation services. His passion is to create a Happier world and workplace, one Leader at a time.

Jim spent 20+ years in Corporate America in finance, operations, sales & marketing, and human resources. He learned that once you let go of being an SME (subject matter expert), LEADERSHIP is a distinct role with critical success competencies. Yet most organizations place SMEs into management roles without supporting their interpersonal skills development. The result? Everyone in the system feels stressed. Jim wants to help more managers become Leaders!

Jim participated in the first-ever global cohort to train as an Authentic Happiness Coach, holds his Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential, and is a certified Body and Movement practitioner.

Jim has coached leaders from 29 countries and on six continents, and has touched the lives of over 18,000 people through his work on Positive Emotion, Leadership, and Coaching.

Finally, Jim wants you to know this: he dances a little and breathes On Purpose every day; he worships Dark Coffee, Dark Beer, and Dark Chocolate; and he deeply believes that Happiness is a Decision, not an Event!
