From the first day we sat down in his DuPont office to my first day at my new job, Jim supported my growth, both professionally and personally, by providing me with thoughtful direction, insight and feedback. The process helped me better understand myself, my strengths and, most importantly, how I could integrate my exp…

Grace Robinson

I sought Jim’s help at a point in my career when I was feeling unfulfilled at work and uncertain about the path I should take moving forward. Although friends and family were sympathetic to my frustration, I needed the detached perspective of someone who could ask the right questions and help me sort through the issues that were causing me concern.

Donna Hill

I started a small business a couple of years ago and encountered some trouble getting it off the ground as rapidly as I’d hoped. I recently contacted Jim for guidance and he provided me with some really valuable insights on how to grow my business. What’s more Jim listened to me with compassionate understanding, and jump started my motivation. I highly recommend him!
