both verbally and via e-mail. His personalization of the material really impressed everyone, as
well as his energy. He was a great way to end the conference. I have to tell you, James is the
ultimate professional.
-Colliers Turley Martin Tucker
What an inspirational evening! You truly captivated HP's management team with your
presentation and opened their minds to 'anything & everything' is possible. Your message and
your delivery were extremely effective for 'out-of-the-box' thinking and personal application. We
highly recommend you for rejuvenating a conference and helping people through change.
Your message is perfect for peak performers.

James was GREAT! Our group really enjoyed his presentation and walked away with very useful
ideas on how to embrace and leverage change.
-Sun Trust Commercial Banking
I am in my fifties, in sales all of my life, and I have seen many programs regarding self-help and
motivation, and I would say that James' program was among the very best that I have ever seen
- right up there with Zig Ziglar. When you can get someone who has been around for a while
pumped-up again, and at the same time provide new thoughts and ideas, you have a most
valuable program.
-State Farm Insurance Companies
Bravo on your presentation in Miami, Florida for SAG Software. Keep making a difference, the

Thank you again for an insightful talk last night! We really appreciate your efforts in adapting
your typical presentation to fit the group needs for our retreat. It was a great lead into important

etc. We will certainly come back to these topics throughout the retreat! Thanks again and I will
certainly let be back in touch!

Montreal Canada. It was the best presentation I have heard in my life and it was incredibly
motivating.

Great guy and even better, I love what he does and loved his presentation. He talks about
things a lot of people don’t say out loud. His message was very effective.

James is one of the most insightful and motivational business speakers I have seen. He gets
people to both think and gives them practical tools to help manage themselves and therefore
their businesses in these turbulent times of change. He is personable and energizes the audience
with his enthusiastic delivery such that you leave James's session with your mind in overdrive
thinking about the concepts and ideas that James has put forward.

I had the privilege of participating in your motivational workshop at Seven Springs, PA. You were
very motivational and gave me the pick me up that I have needed. Being a teacher, there
were many things that you gave me that I could take back to my classroom and apply to my
teaching. I have used your book various times with the students. They enjoy it a lot. Thanks so
much for your time and the much-needed pick-me-up.
