1. You may have an important leader in your company. Who, despite their importance, aren't producing at the levels needed and additionally may be ineffective or even disruptive working with others. You need that person to get back on track but aren't sure how to get them there.
2. You may be the owner of a family business who is ready to move to a non ownership and/or non equity role in your business. So, you want succession to happen. But, you don't know how to start succession or how to get your current succession process more effectively moving ahead.
3. You may have a development, hiring or promotion process that is leading you to make too many wrong decisions and not enough right ones. You want a way to turn this around.
For any of these situations, you are looking to get to the next step.

What's it like to work with Dr. Jim?
My clients tell me I am pragmatic and practical. Through working with me, they know I highly value creating actions that lead to results.
My clients like that I'll work with them as collaborators. The combination of what we both know is the best way to determine what's needed and how to get there.
They like that I "get" people - call it, "business empathy." It provides a different, more objective perspective giving them new ways to look at difficult (and often longstanding) situations.
And, my clients tell me they appreciate my ability to quickly boil things down into very specific steps to go forward - giving them a clear picture of what to do next, how to do it and the confidence to move ahead.
Lastly, my clients enjoy our work with each other. They appreciate how hard I work to help them, their people and their company achieve the desired goals.
