After 30 years of producing results for the top Fortune 500 companies I can work for you and your company and help you deliver innovative solutions.

In the past, a robust economy and growing markets made it easy for most businesses to succeed. Today, the marketplace is neither magnanimous nor benign. It seems that everyone has the knowledge and the tools, but do they have drive to succeed in a fiercely competitive environment?

My role is to assist your organization in giving your people "what they need" to perform so that they can provide your organization "what it needs" to succeed. I bring you this powerful, life-altering process in visually exciting presentations with real world examples. They are designed to mobilize organizations for successful implementation of various target problem areas.

My presentations are TRANSFORMATIONAL, not informational or transactional. My topics present Instruction Manuals for Innovative and Productive Thinking, which offer positive SHIFTS in your organization.

Each topic will dramatically increase your understanding of a profitable opportunity. Each presentation is jam-packed with practical "how to" ideas that you can apply to your own business immediately! They are working laboratories that incubate the problem and discover real world solutions that have a positive impact on your bottom line.
Incentive Magazine Names James Feldman One of the 100 Top Motivators of the Last 100 Years!
Jim was recognized as one of the Top Innovators, one just six people so honored.

I provide the tools to increase the effectiveness of your efforts, so you not only are doing things right, but you are doing the RIGHT THINGS and greatly increasing your RESULTS! I show you and your associates HOW you and your company can succeed in ways you've only dreamed possible.

It is critical to invest in a speaker that has first-hand knowledge and experience, and I offer you the expertise of a businessman with a 35-year track record of providing bottom-line results for both Fortune 1000 companies and smaller organizations. It's the same expertise called upon by leading business publications when looking for articles and business leaders to interview.

"This year's event was huge success, due in large part to your time, talent, and dedication in bringing an interesting and informative presentation to the attendees."
Nancy DelBianco, Director of Professional Development
Educational Institute, American Hotel and Motel Association
