Jim has not only taken the stage personally at countless events worldwide, but through his business experiences has also been regularly involved in event planning, individual speech preparation and coaching speakers.

These events have included National Sales Conferences for up to 2400 delegates, roadshows throughout the U K, and business meetings on Overseas Conventions for top–performers.

In addition to all this, Jim personally attends conferences throughout the U K and beyond, to extend his own learning. Overseas trips include to the National Speakers Association of Australia Convention in Sydney, Australia and presentation training in San Francisco, USA.

As a result, Jim is uniquely equipped to coach business executives to develop their speaking skills further.

And, be warned….Jim doesn’t pull punches, unlike your peers, family and friends. Jim is unconcerned about giving it to you straight, he merely wants to get the best from you on behalf of your message and your audience! As a result, his feedback is open, honest and direct!

And, of course, confidential.

“…Many thanks for the coaching. It was excellent to have time with someone who understands the nature of the task.”

“Overall I went from “very worried” to “looking forward to it” in a matter of hours!” 

His career has seen him presenting in every major town in the UK, most of the capital cities in Europe, and also to audiences in the Far East, USA, Canada, Brazil and India.

He has developed passionate views on a number of subjects, including living life successfully, personal and organisational change, sales and marketing, and presentation skills.

Jim believes that ”the audience is King” and making effective connections with them is the successful speakers secret.
