With a career spanning over two decades in the financial services industry, he left as Managing Director to pursue his passion for helping individuals and organizations thrive.

James believes that everyone has the answers to their own questions within them, but life's experiences often block access to this inner knowledge. His role as a coach is to help clients remember how to access their inner knowing by removing those blocks in a safe, supportive, and encouraging atmosphere. He listens with both his heart and ears to understand what is said and unsaid. James is committed to helping clients create the life they want both professionally and personally. He views coaching as an adventure for growth and learning, using concrete processes and tools to move clients towards their goals with accountability, support, and encouragement.
