Integral Leadership & Management ReviewIn the midst of the turmoil and busy-ness of my life, working with James was like being handed a compass and then to collaboratively discover the journey there with a guide at each stage of the way, all the way til the end.
I’ve recommended James without hesitation to anyone who has expressed a gap between who and where they are, and where they want to be, with an openness to going on this journey. It’s not easy but it’s worthwhile, and if you know you’re worth the investment, James is an extraordinary guide.

Art Farm, Vancouver IslandSimply put, James is his work. I admire and appreciate the consistency, professionalism, commitment, and humour he brings to our coaching relationship. James has engineered a program that has provided a framework for wonderous growth, clarity of purpose and freedom to create.
I have achieved my best and my worst and he has held the process masterfully without attachment. I’m not an easy client. I demand great things from myself and those I work with, and James has successfully met, exceeded and surprised. I truly value his experience, wisdom, and way of being; and he happens to be a really great guy.

His insight and ability to encourage honesty and openess in our communications has accelerated our growth as group. His skilled facilitation has helped us to both determine and work towards our goals at each stage of our growth. The skills he has helped us to develop have aided our rehearsal work and performances. Working with James has been challenging and inspiring, and I look forward to our next opportunity to be guided by James to develop further.

From my first session with James I knew that I had found the right coach. His ability to draw me out and guide me to insight was astonishing. His intuition and communication form the heart allowed me to see the broader context of my life while providing me with solid insight in specific areas. These sessions freed me to make changes in a very difficult time.

The Cheesecake Burlesque RevueJames has a powerful yet gentle approach to his coaching. He has a very keen ability to work with all types of individuals to create a safe and relaxed environment. It was very helpful to witness as a group how we interact with one another with the assistance of James’s techniques. Barriers and boundaries were both broken and raised, both positively, to ensure the longevity and connectedness of the troupe.
I personally found his sessions very insightful, and learned a lot about not only myself, but my role in the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue. It was wonderful to have an open and honest line of communication with his mediating. This was very beneficial group coaching.

CIBC Commercial BankingJames was very quick to pick up on the patterns of behavior in my life and helped me become more aware of them. Through our work I have developed a new understanding for where I would like to direct my life and which behaviors are most conducive to this path.
Through working with James and dedicating time to his practices I have gained a new perspective on what is most important to me and what will bring me to a heightened sense of fulfilment.

It doesn’t matter what your life situation is right now, James can help you become a better person, period. James helped me recognize how old habits and patterns were no longer serving me. Because those patterns and habits were part of who I was, I could not see them for myself. Without James they would have continues to negatively affect my life without me even being aware. James suggested new ways of being that would better serve me and gave me exercises that helped me develop into the person I want to be. It was like having a personal trainer for my life.
I really can’t say enough about the insights I gained from James; I would recommend him highly to anyone.
