In Episode 026 of Mindset on Resilience, we are joined by William Winfield, Speaker and Education Consultant, who shares his powerful story of overcoming adversity. Raised by a single mother and eventually placed in foster care for a short stint, William faced immense challenges at a young age. His early experiences impacted his ability to engage in school, leading to academic struggles that were misunderstood by his teachers.

Despite being placed in special education by fifth grade. William’s mother continued to advocate for him, believing in his potential and fighting for the resources he needed. A turning point came when he lost a football scholarship due to his academic performance. This setback motivated him to seek out mentors who embodied fatherly guidance and support, helping him to turn his life around.

Today, William is dedicated to serving others, providing them with a positive example and reinforcing the belief that life holds possibilities beyond past experiences. He aims to leave a lasting impact, not as a whisper, but as an echo of resilience and strength.

Tune in to hear William Winfield's journey on overcoming adversity, the power of mentorship, and the importance of understanding students' stories beyond academics.
