“Wow, what an exceptional motivator, presenter and overall such a professional gentleman. Our audience members were mesmerised with his enthusiasm; he was entertaining, inspiring and captured our attention from start to finish. The techniques he taught us were great as they could be used both at work and in our personal lives. We all left on a high and really could have listened to him for hours. I highly recommend James to the world and wish we could have more people like him in our society – especially with his positive outlook/attitude of life.”

“James delivered in full. He is a fantastic, engaging trainer. He presents his material simply and in a clear structure and backs this up with a huge wealth of tips and suggestions on how to continually engage and tap into individual employees’ differing needs. James offers a full follow-up as part of his services and his website offers insights, tips and examples that cater for managers with differing management styles. We warmly recommend him to any company that is considering employee engagement and retention training.”
Group HR Manager, Europcar
"James provided a 1 hour keynote and 2 hour workshop for 40 of our leaders on Employee Engagement and/or Enragement. James's engaging, comfortable style was perfect for the audience and with his humour kept the whole room enthralled for the 3 hours. James's use of real life scenarios, often out of the workplace, to demonstrate his key points worked a treat and had us all reflecting on our own similar experiences. The role plays and facilitated activities provided good energy and an opportunity to experience the scenarios. The feedback from the participants has been fantastic. Well done and thanks James."

James will make you think and I encourage you to spend some time with him - it's very worthwhile."
