Welcome to McKinley’s Thoughts, and I look forward to serving you.

“As you think, so shall you become

– Bruce Lee

It’s these seven words of Bruce Lee that I’m reminded daily of the impacts
of the thoughts I carry around in my mind.

Our Students thoughts

I have had the honor of participating in two of McKinley’s presentations to the Job Networking Club in Madison, AL, one on “Leadership” and one on “Focus.” As a John Maxwell trainer and coach, his presentations are upbeat, positive, energizing, laced with fascinating and humorous stories of success. McKinley speaks from his heart, as well as his mind, with passion about leadership and personal success, whatever the goal, and engages his audience. He encourages the group members to be leaders, and to step out of their comfort zone to become the best version of themselves. Any community, corporate or government group can benefit from working with McKinley and hearing his message!! Thank you, McKinley!!
