Resume

Jessie Williams wants to live in a world where everybody is learning, where privileged people work for equality and dragon boat racing is the united nations sport of choice.

As a learning entrepreneur, she’s facilitated for over 20 years for The School for Social Entrepreneurs, The Centre for Community Welfare Training, the Hunger Project and the Create Foundation. In all of her spare time, she runs learning sessions on grief, ethics and coaching.

When she’s not in a room with 20 spirited entrepreneurs who want to change the world, you can find her captaining the underdog crew of the Sloths dragon boat team dreaming to compete in China, watching Game of Thrones or arguing with her husband about the existence of Feng Shui.

After losing her son in 2006, she experience post traumatic growth thanks to her community and the practice of death ritual. Her passion with the GroundSwell Project keeps her up at night and she invites everyone to be a part of the collective change around death and dying in Australia.
