William Brown is a transformational leader, speaker, and coach dedicated to guiding individuals on their journey of self-discovery and authentic living. As the Executive Director of the Living Beyond Foundation, he empowers people to move beyond limiting narratives, embrace their true selves, and cultivate meaningful connections.
William’s path to personal development and leadership began in the creative world as a performance artist, where he honed his ability to connect with audiences through storytelling and expression. His passion for communication and impact led him into the audiovisual and technology industry, where he spent 25 years navigating the intersections of innovation, leadership, and human connection. Throughout his career, he developed a keen ability to translate complex ideas into meaningful experiences—an approach he now applies to personal growth and transformational work.
An accomplished Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) with Toastmasters International, William is a seasoned speaker and facilitator. His commitment to effective communication and leadership is evident in the programs he has developed, including You Are a Story for seniors and Alone Together retreats, which focus on self-connection and authentic relationships. His work reflects a deep commitment to helping others navigate life’s transitions with courage, compassion, and clarity.
William’s own journey is one of profound transformation. Having experienced the collapse of his marriage and business he thought he was building successfully, he chose not to rebuild, but to build anew. This pivotal moment reinforced his belief in resilience, self-trust, and the power of embracing life’s uncertainties.
A dynamic speaker and facilitator, William has presented at events like Camp is in Your Heart and is currently planning virtual summits on authentic connection and hope in challenging times. He also brings his creative vision to life through Beyond the Shell, a series exploring identity beyond labels and protective barriers.
Beyond his professional endeavors, William is an avid meditator, reader, and advocate for deep, intentional conversations. Whether through his writing, speaking, or one-on-one coaching, he continues to inspire individuals to live fully, love boldly, and step into their most authentic selves.
