Jack Williamson

Jack became a divorce statistic and a single parent after nearly 25 years of marriage. Though he has a doctoral degree in marriage and family counseling and over 28 years of experience as a clergyman helping others navigate through the murky waters of breakup, he couldn’t find the resources he personally needed and wanted when he found himself newly divorced.

That frustration led him to the idea to write a book – a divorce solution, for the specific issues and questions that men face, often alone, in the breakup and divorce experience.

The Change Cycle model was the perfect road map to describe the experience of divorce and prescribe the ways for men to get from bitter to better!

As a consultant, speaker and trainer, Jack brings a wealth of academic, theological and practical experience, as well as an engaging and contagious interpersonal dynamic to his presentations, workshops and organizational consultations. He is an avid storyteller and has a warm and gracious style.

Jack retired from the Air Force in 1998 as an Air Force Chaplain, in the grade of Colonel. Currently, he is the Executive Director of The National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces, a unique association of over 250 religious denominations and faith groups representing all chaplains in the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. In this position he is responsible for serving as a liaison between the American religious community and the Department of Defense as well as to the Veterans Administration. In this role he acts primarily as a facilitator for understanding and cooperative ministry among religious leaders from diverse faith orientations.

He is a nationally known business consultant, educator, clinician, and policy advisor specializing in personal and organizational development, change management, creative business practices, group dynamics, inter-personal communications, and crisis intervention. He is a certified and experienced trainer and workshop leader with Interpersonal Communication Programs, Inc. and The Change Cycle Series™. Jack holds a master’s degree in pastoral theology, a doctorate degree in Marriage and Family Counseling and a post-doctoral training certification from Georgetown University.

Jack lives in Atlanta, Georgia and spends as much of his free time as possible traveling, and visiting with his family – especially his grandchildren.
