2008 Banquet Speaker

Jim Lambright is best known for his long association with the University of Washington football program. Jim played for the Huskies from 1960-1965, and graduated with a degree in education. After graduation, he began his coaching career at Fife High School and later at Shoreline Community College. In 1969, Jim joined the UW coaching staff under the coached he played for, legendary coach Jim Owens.

Jim served as Defensive Coordinator for the Huskies for 15 year, under Jim Owens and Don James, and it was his “attack-style” defense that created havoc for opposing teams. Under Jim’s leadership, the defense for the UW’s 1991 National Championship team led the nation and the PAC-10 in nearly every category.

During the 1993-1998 seasons, Jim Lambright was the Head Coach of the Husky football team. His teams were bowl eligible every year, won one PAC-10 title and led his team to four post-season bowl games.

During his coaching career, Jim honed his skills as a teacher, mentor and team builder. When he left the University of Washington in 1999, Jim translated his football coaching skills to the business world. He joined Lou Tice and The Pacific Institute as a Vice President and Keynote speaker, encouraging and challenging people to build strong work teams through communication, dedication, commitment and trust. Building a team on the field required the same elements as building a team on the production floor, in an office, or in the boardroom. Whether he is speaking around the world to audiences as large as 5,000 or mentoring one-on-one, Jim is a natural because he considers himself a teacher first. His dedication to education and mentoring and his ability to bring out the best in others has garnered him the respect of all who meet him in the sports community and the world as a whole.

An Everett native, Jim and his wife Lynne, make their home near Woodinville. They have six children and nine grandchildren. Jim continues his speaking and corporate team building while heading the Jim Lambright Niemann-Pick Foundation to search for a cure for Niemann-Pick, Type C. A neurogenetic disease that afflicts two of their sons. His vision has changed from next week’s game, to corporate team building and to creating a renowned medical research team at the UW School of Medicine dedicated to finding a cure for Niemann-Pick, Type C.

As a team-building and leadership consultant, Jim now works with Turner Construction and other companies creating positive growth and change in their leaders and teams. His keynote speaking and mentoring continue to touch and change peoples lives.
