"I
have worked with Jim on a number of occasions on an
individual level and with teams . He is truly inspirational
and
I am not exaggerating when I say that I reflect on
his concepts and frameworks on a daily basis and they
do
help me in my work and life.
The way in which he tackles emotional intelligence
with teams can influence the most reluctant - I have
seen it with my own eyes! Highly recommended.” November

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “Jim is
a very approachable man, he is a high achiever and self
motivated. His ‘B’ game is world class, and
his ‘A’ game goes well beyond, achieving
the stretch targets that he sets himself.
His is an authentic,
encouraging, and supportive Leader of others demonstrating
what can be achieved through his own greatness. He is
a motivational speaker centred around his continued achievements
and positive attitude, but he also has the skill to take
the audience with him through a self belief and the right
attitude.”

“ Jim
provided the keynote at a Venture national event, and
delivered 'Built for Greatness' with conviction
and passion, inspiring the audience. His link to the
Race Across America provided the Wow factor, but his
deep insights into leadership and getting the best from
oneself gave the delegates some valuable tools to take
away with them. Would use Jim again, most definitely.” May

"A year told in numbers
but the real story is around the people. I really do
need to thank you Jim. Your advice to me this time
last year was profound and effective. You taught me
to look at myself and realise that in order for others
to change I had first to change myself. This was a
humbling experience but one that has left me wiser
and with a much higher level of self confidence. It
was incredibly difficult for me to take the first step.
Making the first move and changing myself rather than
expecting my direct reports to change was counter intutive.
The illusion I was under is now very clear. I do not
exaggerate this life learning."
(Peter Harding CEO of a major foods & drinks
manufacturer, Ireland)

' Jim, Reflecting on our 1:1 coaching
sessions, I'd like to thank you not only for the many
practical ways that you have helped me think about
leadership and raising self awareness but also for
the richness and variety of our discussions prompted
by the diversity of reading material that we covered
together. You have taught me that commitment is not
only about depth, effort and energy but above all it
is about being in the present moment. The result of
this coaching has lead a more sustainable and effective
approach at work and a better balance with a hectic
home life!'.
