Programs that provide practical information you can apply immediately. Jim believes that his job is not complete unless participants have been challenged to take specific action. His programs are working laboratories that produce bottom-line results. Each presentation, workshop, and forum is designed to produce a "shift" in thinking and empower the audience to take action.

"Commitment and attitude were just two of my personal take-aways - not only did you bring these alive in your presentation but more importantly they are obviously an integral part of you. . . Your presentation received the highest overall score in all categories (new insights/information; relevance to work; quality of presentation; met expectations.)"
Maureen Bernabo, Program Officer, Centre for Management Effectiveness
The Conference Board of Canada

"Thank you for presenting "Critical Leadership Practices for Managing Change" to my strategic planning team. It was right on target for USMEPCOM's transformation challenges.

Commander, US Military Entrance Processing Command

A level of professionalism that makes his programs as productive as they are memorable. Jim goes beyond typical program "customization." He researches his client's business, visits on-site when possible, and learns the issues from your perspective.

He is conscious of audience diversity. He stays within his time allotment. And when you're in a bind, he makes adjustments to help the program get back on track.
