Jim Tunney - Timeless Leadership Wisdom

Dr. Jim Tunney, Dean of the NFL Referees and recent recipient of the prestigious Art McNally Award joins Denise Griffitts to discuss leadership.

Jim Tunney’s career in the NFL is exactly that - exemplary. He was the on-field official for 31 years and was given the title of “Dean of Officials.” He was the referee in three Super Bowls (VI – XI – Xii). His back-to-back Super Bowls have never been equaled. Further, he received 29 post-season assignments (out of a possible 31); ten championship games; six Pro Bowl assignments and a record 25 Monday Night Football games, when MNF was the game of the week. Because of his posture for signals on the field, he was the model for officials' signals in every game-day program for 19 years.  

His educational career took him to the University of Southern California where he completed his Master’s in Education and followed that by earning his Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.)

Jim is a professional speaker and speaks to Fortune 500 companies, large and small corporations and associations on topics of leadership, team building, integrity, and customer service. He joined the National Speakers Association and has served on its’ board of directors and elevated to president. He was inducted into NSA’s Speaker Hall of Fame and holds every designation and award given by that association, including the Cavett, the “Oscar” of professional speaking.
