"I have worked with Jim on stage at three high-profile Barclaycard leaders' conferences. Not only is he engaging, challenging, inspiring and very funny but he delivers a practical, compelling model for achieving results - which he has risked his life on the racecourse to prove."
Gary Hoffman, Director of Barclays PLC, Chairman of Barclays UK Banking and Chairman of Barclaycard "This was a very important event for my department. Your challenging and inspiring presentation and professional (but hilarious) hosting made the day for us. One of the delegates went straight back and ran a "Taming Tigers" training session for his own team! No racehorses were involved, thank heavens."
Ian Dyson, Finance Director, Marks and Spencer plc
"After hearing Jim's speech, I was truly inspired and started immediately to incorporate the principles learned on how to approach my work, family, and social activities. After 12 months, I have to say that it has changed my life. I have done things I wouldn't have otherwise and most importantly accomplished things that I thought were well beyond my abilities. Everyone should hear Jim’s story and "Taming Tigers" principles. He delivers them in such a fun way! "
Jack Bush, Director, Global Pharmaceutical Marketing Intelligence, ALCON Laboratories INC.

"We were looking for something to motivate and energise our sales force in this challenging environment, and we had high expectations of Taming Tigers. The results were fantastic, feedback from a Questionnaire to 140 salespeople, Taming Tigers scored 75% of the audience rating the session as outstanding and 24% rating it as Excellent. These are the best scores we have ever seen either for an external or an internal speaker. The benefits are already visible just weeks after the conference. "
