“Your Breakthrough Leader workshop was a great addition to our Leadership Development series. You were able to “breakthrough” to participants who attend but aren’t really there, and you gave them a substantial tool to work with to help them make plans for change. Of the three projects you used as our examples, we will be implementing 100%.”

We have used his skills for strategy, marketing, engineering, and human resources. His grasp of business applications and the interpersonal piece required to bring positive change is excellent.”

“Jim, you gave us a simply excellent and stimulating presentation on Implementing Strategy Through Change Leadership. Your energy and enthusiasm were infectious, the audience’s frequent bursts of laughter were wonderful, and your insights and experience-based suggestions were extremely valuable. In fact, you saved our conference from flagging in that critical post-luncheon period where very few presenters can make an impact. So, thank you again for being the highlight of the afternoon session and for delivering such useful information.”
