Meet Jim

A Speaker Who's
Lived the Grind

Jim Craig is best known as the backbone of the 1980 U.S. Olympic Gold Medal Hockey Team, whose ‘Miracle’ win was voted by Sports Illustrated as the greatest moment in sports history of the 20th century. Jim started every game in goal and was a leading figure in the team’s success.

Following his athletic career, Jim transitioned his success into the corporate world as a motivational speaker, leadership trainer, powerful salesman and corporate consultant. For more than 40 years, he has inspired and instructed some of the most prestigious companies across the world as owner and president of Gold Medal Strategies, and he is a two-time author.

What Leaders Are Saying

All Testimonials

“Having Jim Craig join us for a panel discussion was truly a highlight of the event. He brought an incredible mix of energy, perspective, and storytelling that kept the audience engaged from start to finish. What stood out most was how genuine and approachable Jim was throughout the discussion.”

Ken Dougherty, Dell

“From start to finish, working with Jim Craig and his entire team was an exceptional experience. The level of professionalism, communication, and attention to detail made the process seamless at every stage. It felt less like booking a speaker and more like working with a team that genuinely cared about the success of our event.”

Tom Monaghan, Executive Vice President – Field Operations, Charter Communications

“Jim delivered a message that resonated across every level of the audience, combining powerful storytelling with practical lessons on leadership, preparation, teamwork, and overcoming adversity. … The session became our most well-received keynote to date.”

Michelle Noon, Founding and Managing Partner, Clearhaven Partners

“His message kept coming back to one thing: you don’t win alone. The name on the front of the jersey matters more than the name on the back. We live that every day at Coryell. … We’re grateful to Jim for showing up as a real person and believing in what we’re doing.”

Chris Coryell, CEO

“Jim delivered a powerful message focused on hard work, discipline, and the mindset required to win. … Jim lives the principles he teaches – he is a winner – and thanks to his impact on our team, we are well on our way to winning as well.”

Steve Scanlon, Equitable Life Insurance

“Jim arrived genuinely curious about Advisor360°, our journey, and where we’re headed. … He didn’t just inspire our team — he reflected our team back to us in a way that left everyone more connected to the mission walking out than they were walking in.”

Frank Pupo, SVP of Sales, Advisor360
