Great Leader in the Spotlight: Jennifer Williams
Joseph Polanin
Award Winning CEO, Combat Veteran, and #1 Bestselling Author leading elite global enterprises to succeed on complex missions in high risk environments despite every obstacle.
Jennifer Williams is an extraordinary leader you need to know. She is the Founder and CEO of Global Pathway Studies (GPS) an unprecedented movement that’s creating positive and lasting impact across our communities. GPS is an innovative platform that provides comprehensive career and certification training programs to transitioning Military?service members, Veterans, and many others in our at-risk populations. Recently, I met with Jennifer and she shared her uplifting insights:?
1. Why do you love?what you do???
“I’m fulfilling a need to provide more career?opportunities for Veterans, high school?students and adults in the private sector. I'm living my dream, so I haven't ‘worked’ in years.?Spending time with my Veteran brothers and sisters inspires me and gives me energy to create multiple resources.”?
2. What makes your mission unique??
“We are here to make a difference in the lives of our at-risk populations. Veterans, teens aging out of foster care, survivors of domestic violence and people in residential treatment for substance abuse. We offer several training options, transitional services that span beyond finding a job. We also want to connect and build strong communities.” ?

3. Who is the leader who has inspired you the most and why???
“There are a few for different reasons. However, I would have to say Ronald Reagan because he?left an indelible mark on history, and his leadership qualities continue to inspire admiration. His leadership legacy is one of vision, resilience, effective communication, and unwavering principles. His ability to inspire hope, coupled with his strong convictions make him my choice.”?
Jennifer Williams cares deeply about people, the heart and soul of every profession. As a fellow Navy Veteran, she knows the value of Military service and sacrifice, and she is a tireless advocate for our Veterans and their Families — our Heroes. I am honored to serve with and learn from Jennifer and Team GPS to accelerate career momentum for so many in at-risk populations across our communities. Thank you, Jennifer for your selfless service with honor, courage and commitment!?
