Metropolitan Police feedback from Built for Greatness speech


Jim’s presentation was inspirational. It was good to see someone so enthusiastic.

He was a good motivator. I liked the part about negative and positive ABCs and it did make you think about how you behave towards others & also think how others behave. I can see his point about not limiting yourself in what you can achieve.

Dear Jim
A very belated note to thank you for the fantastic job you did for us at our World of Work Afternoon. The feedback from some students was really encouraging. Your talk was extremely insightful and pitched at the perfect level and I know it struck a cord with many of our Year 11s.

One of the reasons I have delayed writing is because I have been discussing with staff the possibility of you coming back into school to talk again. I know we discussed the possibility of talking to Year 12 or 13, potentially during our summer term. However, I have also been asked by our Head of Professional Development (who was in the Lecture Theatre with us) whether you would be interested in speaking to some of our staff. As you are aware, teaching can be hard work and we have a hardcore group of very competent middle management staff who would really benefit from the sort of motivational and leadership skills you are expert in.

If this is something you’d be interested in, please drop me a line.

In the meantime, thanks once again. Kind regards

Matt Hall, Head of Careers

Hi,

Im a sixth form student at Knights Templar School and I would just like to say thank you for the talk you gave us today. I am quite a positive person alot of the time and it has got me through life so far, but your talk has made me realise that whatever I want to do in life is completely possible, so long as I believe I can do it and dont give up. You have given me the kick up the backside I needed before more my A Level exams start in a few weeks! ha

Good luck with the race across America!


Thanks again.
James

Hi Jim,

Just a quick email to thank you for last night - I was truly impressed with the way both teams handled themselves and found it a welcome challenge to not only the girls but to me personally and others as a coach.

I have found myself today checking if I am working at a 10!

Stacey (my daughter) has also said that she has reminded herself all day of the scale, I am sure that those who attended last night have done the same.

It was truly a positive experience and one which will only drive us all forward to the people that we are now choosing to become.

thank you once again for the inspiration and timely reminder.

kindest regards

Sarah, Luton Girls Football Club Coach


"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 26, 2009-

“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 12, 2009 - Top qualities: Personable , Expert , High Integrity Steve Bruzzese

WIBF Feedback Sept 2008 Make your Mark, Make a Difference

" Interesting topic. Could easily think of applying the models to my personal circumstances. Excellent facilitator. Totally grabbed my attention!"
Julia Mariasova, Credit Suisse
.

"Really enjoyed the event and felt it was a great way of making you look at things in a diffent way. Will definately take the ideas and thinking into my everyday life".
Victoria Slater Citi.

"Jim is a very good speaker and articulates very well. His use of examples (especially videos) really hones in the messages that he wants to convey. I would love to hear more about the second model that he briefly mentioned".
Weng-Ching Un, Citi

"Good opportunity to think about issues you don't have time to address in the workplace". Ostiane Goh-Livorness, Barclays Wealth

"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)

"Very informative and fun. Excellent presentation style".

' 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!'.
