Wealth Masters Announces Arrival of Leadership Development Expert John Jackson

HOUSTON, Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Wealth Masters International (WMI), a global entrepreneurial leader, announces the addition of John Jackson to their executive team as Senior Vice President of Leadership Development. Adding to his extensive background as a retail manager and healthcare executive, Jackson has worked exclusively with entrepreneurs for the past eight years. He is best known for his ability to help entrepreneurial communities develop leadership talent from within.

"I first met John Jackson at a conference in 2009," said Karl Bessey, WMI President. "His passion for serving others was instantly apparent. I always felt we'd work together one day and that time has come. He's all about helping others achieve new heights in every area of their lives. Our incredible team at WMI just got a whole lot stronger and I couldn't be happier to welcome JJ aboard."

"I spent years as an employee," said Jackson. "Becoming an entrepreneur changed my life and I know firsthand the subtle, but powerful shifts in thinking to move from being a follower and taking life as it's handed to us, to embracing a life in alignment with our own values. To accomplish anything worthwhile, you've got to have a clearly defined "why" and a solid foundation underneath you. WMI is committed to empowering people to get that foundation in place so they can go make a positive difference in this world. Joining forces with them to create an entrepreneurial community focused on serving others was a natural choice for me."

Kip Herriage, WMI CEO said, "This is one of the most significant additions that we've ever made to our executive team. It's all about balance and discovering your "why"; something that Wealth Masters has emphasized from day one. JJ exemplifies WMI's holistic approach to Wealth, Health and Wisdom and we're delighted to add his amazing leadership talents to our team." Married to his wife, Lori, for 21 years, Jackson is the proud father of two children. In addition to coaching his son's basketball team and teaching his daughter to drive, he is a home improvement enthusiast and portrait artist with a Fine Arts degree from the University of Oklahoma.
