HISTORY AND PRINCIPALS

Harold A. Williamson
"The greatest revolution of my life is the discovery that individuals can change the outer aspects of their lives by changing the inner attitudes of their minds."
William James
Founder and CEO of HOPE UNLIMITED is nationally known speaker, Hal Williamson. Hal, a mechanical engineer, intellectual property attorney and MBA, worked as a patent attorney in the corporate world for 38 years. Working as the Director of Patents for Sundstrand Corporation, Hal discovered that the company could increase patents obtained if he taught engineers how to discover invention in their own work. He designed and taught classes and Sundstrand moved from being the 874th to the 20th U.S. company in the country in the number of patents obtained each year.
Hal's fascination with the brain and how it works to invent lead to extensive research. The result was the Pathway to Greatness Program. When Harry Stonecipher, then CEO of Sundstrand, experienced this remarkable course himself, he invited Hal to stop his legal practice and train within the company full time. Hal did this for several years before forming his own company, HOPE UNLIMITED, in 1995.
Hal is certified by Herrmann International to use and interpret the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument.
Peter Senge's work on the Learning Organization galvanized Hal's interest in the ways organizations think, which led to the curricula on Systems Thinking and The Five Disciplines.
In 1997, broadcast quality videotapes of both Brain Dominance and Pathway to Greatness programs were shot. They can be viewed on Wisdom Channel, and purchased from this website. Program schedules are available at http://www.wisdomchannel.com.
