Testimonials

“Highly valuable at providing real life scenarios and exchange of information that can provide huge benefit for those looking to make the jump from a manager to a true leader. Can’t say enough of Jim and his style of presenting the information. Makes it highly interactive and gets the best out of everyone.”
Daniel Laverentz, Engagement Manager
“Jim is the best facilitator in the business. I went to his leadership seminar with 2 of my colleagues and we left with several immediately actionable items to improve our organization and I also left with several action items for self improvement as well. The information from the Academy Leadership program is fantastic and Jim demonstrated a true mastery of the course. I would recommend the course and him to small to medium enterprises.”
Joe Malmuth, VP of Sales
“Tuve el placer de participar en el “The Leadership Excellence Course”, que se realiza por primera vez en Santiago-Chile. Jim fue nuestro instructor.

Me complace decir que es un gran facilitador de ideas, de gram conocimiento en los temas presentados y con gran capacidad de dirigirnos y sacar el mejor provecho del tiempo asignado. Logró enseñarnos la importancia de nuestro auto-conocimiento para poder aplicarlo en el liderazgo hacia nuestro equipo.

Vale la pena vivir la experiencia”
Rodrigo Lara Lema, PMO
“I had the opportunity to participate in a Leadership Excellence Course that Jim facilitated in London, UK. Over the course of three days I was able to learn more about my own personality and also better understand how to adapt my leadership style to teams. I found Jim to be very inspirational and thought provoking. He shared several tips and tricks that work well for him that I can easily adapt in my professional and personal life. Most importantly, Jim is authentic – he gave several examples in some cases quite personal – that really brought various topics/theories to life. I took a lot away from the course and look forward to our future executive coaching sessions.”
