## Description

Jim Rafferty is an author and speaker whose work explores leadership, resilience, and living with purpose. His book, Leader by Accident: Lessons in Leadership, Loss and Life, grew from an unexpected volunteer leadership role and the personal journey that followed. Against the backdrop of an unthinkable tragedy, Rafferty reflects on the challenges and responsibilities of leadership, sharing lessons shaped by experience, entrepreneurship, and community involvement.

The book combines candid observations, anecdotes, and wit to consider character, perseverance, hope, and the value of stepping beyond one’s comfort zone. It is intended for readers interested in leadership and personal growth, with insights into how people can find meaning and take action even when they have not planned to become leaders. Leader by Accident is available for purchase, including signed copies from the author.

Rafferty also offers speaking and presentation engagements and welcomes media requests and review-copy inquiries. His interviews and appearances span radio programs, podcasts, and other media outlets, where he discusses themes connected to the book and his experiences.
