 What James does really well as a coach and facilitator is knowing when to chuck a grenade in the middle to see what happens and then combining that with knowing when to sit back and say nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know that this is right for me?
Will I be put on the spot?
I struggle to leave work for a whole day!
I believe that what the world needs most right now is leadership. There is nothing more important than learning to lead yourself before you can lead others.
If we can change the way we lead ourselves, we will change the way we lead those around us. If we can inspire one other person to lead a better life, we will begin to notice change in our communities, businesses, families and every other pillar of society.
There is nothing better than knowing you have helped someone on their journey.

HPL® is my flagship course, this will be the 4th time I am opening it up to the public. I truly believe that we need to find a way to make leadership growth and development accessible so that we can see some real change in the world around us.
I'm in it with you all the way.
