About Jim

Welcome to my website. It reflects my passion — communication.

I’m an advisor, coach, and speaker, based in Toronto. I’ve spent virtually my entire career in communication, first as a reporter, and later as a consultant, serving leaders across North America. What a privilege that is.

For more than 25 years, I’ve prepared hundreds of leaders — CEOs, entrepreneurs, and public figures — to speak and write with clarity, certainty, and power. My clients inspire me, and I help them to inspire others.

Every business evolves, and mine certainly has, much to my delight. Although I work extensively with leaders from all generations, I now spend an increasing amount of time serving members of the Millennial generation, terrific young people who are literally re-inventing the world. We’re learning from each other.

I’m excited every day to work in communication — it literally never gets old. Whatever it takes, I’m there for my clients.

It’s the way I do business, and always will.

"I've worked with Jim for a long time -- he's done many excellent speaker programs with key thought leaders in Ophthalmology. The feedback has been tremendous, with everyone commenting that they wish they had this training in medical school. The programs have always proven to be impactful, with the audience highly engaged and willing to learn, thanks to Jim's approach and excellent communication skills. He is so agile with his style as he critically assesses the doctors with grace and dignity, so that the audience has a read desire to improve."
