Jim has shared his purpose-based message with audiences around the world. Colleen Barrett, President Emeritus of Southwest Airlines, calls him her favorite “people provoker.” He provokes people to venture outside the boundaries of their comfort zones and learn how to reach their full potential. His presentations are not only provoking – they are fast paced, highly interactive and served with a large helping of humor. Think of him as a cross between Jeff Foxworthy and Dr. Phil – he makes audiences laugh and think – all at the same time. Jim’s topics are based on the principles found in his books, The Transformational Power of Purpose: Finding and Fulfilling Your Purpose in Life and Riding for the Brand: The Power of Purposeful Leadership.
