- James was a good fit for our organisation. His speech was passionate, informative and thought provoking.
Toyota Australia Limited - His preparation for the speech was excellent. It was just right for the audience, who thought he was great.
Macquarie Institute for Innovation - James was a delight - the plenary in which he was the central panellist was considered one of the best in several years for our annual convention. He met his part of the session aims in an exemplary and enthusiastic way - and was most conscious of meeting our expectations in the process. He is an accomplished, highly intelligent and warm individual who, from a personal perspective, was a great pleasure to meet.
WA Local Government Association - Working with James was an absolute pleasure. He grabbed onto our objectives for our Professional Development session quickly and made excellent suggestions that improved its overall impact. James describes himself as a 'nerd', however to go with his 'nerdiness' he has excellent interpersonal skills that engaged our people making the session, technically, academically and personally the best professional development session we have run to date. James had an incredible impact upon the attendees and feedback was absolutely terrific. I've included a sample of comments I've received below...
