Willie Cartwright

Willie is an educator, speaker, entrepreneur, author, and advocate. Together with my wife,  we owned several successful businesses. Before starting our companies, I worked in corporate America for 17 years—twelve years as a Financial Advisor and six of those years in management.

I earned a B.S. degree in Finance, an Executive MBA, and a M.A in Religious Studies. 

 Over the past 20 years I have spoken to many businesses, schools, and non-profit organizations. Some of the organizations and companies I have presented to  are Panasonic corporation, Atlanta public schools, Cobb County Georgia public schools, Gwinnett County public schools (Georgia), Mississippi Valley State University, MetLife Corp, Operation Snatchback not-for-profit organization, BP Amoco Corp, Atlanta regional workforce, Auburn Avenue Research Library, and Macsteel corp. Since earning my MA in religious studies. I have pivoted my message to focus primarily on religious and cultural differences and acceptance in the workplace. I help employers to better understand these differences and how appreciating these differences help to create a valued and productive employee. "A valued and productive employee positively affects the bottom line".  My education, college teaching experience, speaking history and lived experience make me the idea presenter on this and related topics.
