Perspective

Few professionals in business today share the breadth of experience of Dr. Jim. From his first job as a 12-year-old shoe shine boy to the boardrooms of the Fortune 500, Dr. Jim’s perspective is as broad as it is unique. His tract record of leadership and managerial success includes such industries as home building, retail, transportation, franchising, and university operations. He has managed union shops, negotiated wildcat strikes in non-union manufacturing facilities, as well as led major re-branding and change initiatives. Additionally, he has consulted with and spoken to many of the world’s best-run companies on such topics as leadership, employee engagement, and managing change.

Passion

Many professionals have passion, but Dr. Jim delivers his through his writing, speaking, and advising like few others. He’s not about being loud, overly energetic, or "purely motivational." Dr. Jim imbues his concepts, models, and best practices with honest, heart-felt emotional strength that can only come from his deep desire to enrich the lives of others. He educates, encourages, and exhorts his audiences and clients to push ahead with greater confidence and clarity.

Integrity

Dr. Jim makes no bones about it – he desires to honor God in all he does. He knows that the single most important character trait he brings to his business and his life is his integrity.  As he tells anyone who asks, he likes "to run a business that makes my God, my wife, and my mom proud."  That pretty much says it all.
