About James

Since 2001 I have been working in the area of personal development both as personal coach for individuals and business clients, and also as a management trainer working with groups. During this time I have worked with a broad range of clients from managing directors of large corporations who want to improve their effectiveness and management style, to individuals who are unsure as to their direction in life, or want some help to make changes. I have a degree in Performing

Arts and spent 18 years working as a writer, director and producer in the film, TV and theatre industries. It was through my work as director that I developed an interest in psychology and what makes people think and behave they way they do.

Following a serious accident in 2001, I underwent a complete life change and made the decision to leave the media industry and spent some time working as a motivational coach and mentor for people undergoing long-term rehabilitation. I went on to develop my passion for working with people and became a communication skills trainer and coach, working with both individuals and management teams.

My work as a management trainer and coach in the business arena has given me the opportunity to work with many blue chip companies, covering a wide range of business sectors including: financial, IT, advertising, publishing, communications, and electronics.

I feel that the skills and experience I have gained through my work and personal life, have given me an understanding and ability to help others to achieve what they want and assist them to make the changes and difficult decisions that life throws at us.

I have studied Tai Chi and Qigong for over 10 years and when I have the time I like to go surfing with my son.
