Bio
Jimmy Moore is a unique, entertaining and truly life-changing professional speaker. But this wasn't always the case! After the loss of his father to suicide, ten-year-old Jimmy was so shy and insecure that he would begin to shake uncontrollably at the thought of getting up in front of people. Later, finding incredible power and comfort in the theater, he knew he must find a way to be on that stage. Jimmy combines his own life experiences and passions for education and inspiration through performance to effectively move audiences to a new level of personal motivation, professional proficiency, and achievement.
Being orphaned at age 16, dealing with addiction, and literally running for his life in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Jimmy has a tale unlike many others. Being faced with great tragedy and triumph, Jimmy's passion for motivating and inspiring others to reach and surpass their potential has become his personal mission. With a portfolio that includes: a Bachelors in communication, a Masters in Higher Education Administration, and professional experience as an actor in New York City, a top sales associate, a personal success teacher, and a university administrator, Jimmy sends the message of his story and life's lessons in a knowledgeable and powerful way. He is recognized by professionals around the country as a powerful speaker with a unique talent.
Q and A
Why did you become a speaker?
I'm in the business of changing lives, and that is important to me. Speaking is the perfect combination of theater and education, my two passions in life. My own life, with all of its challenges, has inspired me to help other people overcome their greatest challenges, reach past their perceived limitations and in the words of a popular musical (and personal favorite), Defy Gravity!
What do you do when you are not working?
I spend most of my free time with friends or family. People are the most important thing we have on this planet, and I have learned not to take anyone for granted. When I'm alone, I workout, sing, write, meditate or find a new hobby to try!
What did you do in Japan?
I taught English to students from 4-80 years old. Outside of work, I traveled, sang countless hours of Karaoke, met interesting people, learned about cultures from all around the world and even more about being American! It was fascinating.
Why did you choose the name Achieve Moore?
Well, it's a cute play on my name, don't you think? But seriously, it's my vision, and purpose. I want to help others achieve more. So often in life, people seem to settle for less than they deserve, set their sights lower than they can reach. Other peoples standards shouldn't influence our own. Personally or professionally, you can attain peak performance, higher standards and true fulfillment by reaching higher to achieve more.
