What our clients say
OUR WORK WITH HOCKINGSTUART
"James was the Chairman at hockingstuart for the just-on five years that I was a non Executive Director.
He was able to balance the large number and often complex nature of stakeholders across the business. As a franchise group the franchisees are clearly a critical audience, but so are the shareholders, management and of course, the customer.
All in an industry that was being disrupted by various external entities, a difficult trading environment and a changing legislative agenda.
Frankly, James was a class act, navigating his way and guiding the Board and company through complex times and eventually, a merger with an interstate partner.
I suspect James packed about ten years worth of experience into his tenure at hockingstuart and his leadership and ability to remain calm and measured at all times was impressive. I'd jump at the chance to work with James again" -Penny Burke, Non Executive Director

OUR WORK WITH MCCARTHY MENTORING
"I had the privilege to get to know James as a mentor. His ability to listen, visualise and understand complex situations and give incredible guidance and insight is second to none, and his vast experience that he draws from is amazing.
He has been very inspirational and extremely motivating without shying away from direct constructive feedback which enabled me to self-evaluate and rethink how I perceive situations. His motivation whilst going through difficult times was exceptional.
It is an incredible experience to spend time with James, and anybody will truly benefit from his experience and wealth of knowledge."
- Ryk Neethling, CTO Axsess Today through McCarthy Mentoring

OUR WORK WITH MINDSHOP
"James brilliantly delivered one of our recent Mindshop Australasian / New Zealand training rounds. This involved the facilitation of a full day training workshop in 6 regions over 2 weeks to approximately 100 business advisors. During the preparation for the workshops James was very accommodating of our needs, practical in his approach and he was focused at all times on achieving a great outcome for our attendees. James brought a great energy to his workshops and ensured he was constantly innovating and refining his approach to suit the audience. The response we received overall from attendees was fantastic! James is a very professional person with first class values I would have no hesitation in referring to any opportunity with our clients that suited his specialisation."
