Timothy Palmer Mindset and Mental Health Expert Motivational Speaker from Abilene, TX

Timothy Palmer is an educator, songwriter, and keynote speaker. When Timothy isn’t in the classroom teaching, he spends his time as an advocate for mental health awareness. As someone who lives with a mental health disorder, Timothy has personally experienced the stigmas and misunderstandings attached to mental illness. However, he has also experienced the power of human connection to break down those stigmas and barriers to understanding! In short, Timothy believes that, in the words of Mother Teresa, “we belong to one another.” It is this reality that fuels all of his work- whether in the classroom or on the stage. However, his most important work is at Woodson Center for Excellence where he and his Art students co-create a supportive and generative learning community. Timothy believes in the power of empathy to fuel a more compassionate world in which all people, from the classroom to the conference room, feel a sense of belonging. He has had the privilege of sharing his vision of a more connected humanity from stages across North America, India, Zimbabwe, Haiti, and the Middle East.
