Companies & People We Have Worked With
“Jim can pinpoint my blind spots and provides specific solutions. His coaching is an important milestone in my career and life.”
“We have a very good experience working on LIMRA course with Jim. Both Academic session and Train the Trainer to train are effective learning. The most benefit to participant is “HOW TO”. Practical learning by using facilitation skill is excellent. He runs the contents from the theory to apply in the real situation in the field. As TTT session, he is very supportive to our trainers to improve from training skill to be more facilitation skill, which is suitable to new generation today. From the experience, it is not only for LIMRA courses but also we can apply to our career. Thanks Jim!”
“Jim provided his training service to my team to help them improve their professional facilitation skills and he also helped me build the leadership capability for the Agency force. I am impressed by the way he cares about client’s needs and his close following up with any commitment he makes. I am fully confident that Jim is truly dedicated to providing the best learning experience for his trainees. His training style is very down to earth equipped with vast knowledge and thorough understanding of the Agency business and apparently a positive influence in shaping the way people think and act upon attending his training. It’s is a privilege for me to work with Jim.”
“I got to know Jim three years ago during an assignment with AIA regional. When I told the agency leaders that I will be meeting Jim, they started waxing lyrical about him. You could tell that Jim is highly respected in the agency leaders’ fraternity. It was only after working with Jim that I realised why. First, he is extremely sincere. He treats everyone equally and will go the extra mile to make every one feel welcome. Second, he is generous with his knowledge, never holding back. Back then I was still in the growth stage of my career, and Jim will constantly share with me books to read and videos to watch so that I can get better. Looking back, Jim has a part to play in my success today. If you ever get to work with Jim, you can be fully assured that he will put all his heart and soul into helping you succeed!”
“Jim is an experienced veteran in the life insurance industry. His vast experience of agency management, agency development, agency training and coaching has been instrumental in providing our agency colleagues new perspectives of a more systematic approaches of engagement. The team is excited to adopt and experiment the new approaches and looks forward for a rewarding outcome. We look forward to working with you again! Thank you!”
“Starting in 2012, I worked with Jim in a 3 year project to support one of the countries. If I could pick only three words that would best describe Jim, they would be: Trustworthy, Results Driven, and Dedicated (to his own success and the success of others). I would highly recommend him to any organization considering to engage his services.”
“I know Jim through my journey in AIA, though he is in AIA Singapore and I am in Indonesia but he is my great mentor. Not only a great mentor but he is also a fantastic motivator. His passion about people is so marvelous. He will be a great mentor or coach for everyone who wants to be a great leader. Thanks Jim for everything.”
