In this episode, I am honored to have with me a man whose career is a tapestry of service, leadership, and global impact. He has spent over 30 years serving in places that rarely make the news but are important nonetheless.  Joining us this evening is Mr. James T. Ham, a name that resonates with so many here in Washington for his dedication and exemplary service in government.

James has recently retired from the US government but is still providing servant leadership to many of the country’s youth.  His story is not just about the positions he's held, but about the lives he's touched, the policies he's shaped, and the global initiatives he's steered. As a retired senior executive leader from the U.S. Federal Service, James has been at the forefront of directing international volunteer programs in sectors ranging from public health to agriculture, education, and small enterprise development.


His journey with the Peace Corps, spanning various African countries, and his significant roles at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have not only showcased his leadership skills but also his deep commitment to making a difference in the world. Today, he continues to inspire and guide through his work as a Servant Leadership Academy Instructor at the Robert K. Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership and as the founder of Koba Leadership, an Executive Leadership Coaching firm.


James is someone who I have known and admired for a very long time, and he is someone that I thought you should get to know as well.  So sit back as we delve into James's professional origin story, explore his numerous successes, transitions, and even the failures that have shaped his extraordinary journey. We will also uncover where he is now and what future endeavors he's passionately pursuing.
