“One of the big reasons I started working with Jim was to have him help me see my business from a perspective different from my own. I’ve worked with him for almost two years now and he’s done a truly outstanding job in helping me to step-up to the next level in providing value to my clients. With Jim’s help I’ve seen my business grow and staff flourish over the course of our relationship.”

“Any individual that can run as many marathons as Jim has knows a thing or two about focus, determination, persistence, and getting the most out of one’s self. That’s a coach that you want in your corner.”
Luke Iorio, PCC, AELC (LION), President & CEO, New Jersey
“Jim’s skill at getting to the heart of what holds people back, both professionally and personally, is absolutely life-changing. To anyone who has a goal that has gone unmet, a fear of feeling that a certain situation in their life needs to change, or a desire to tap into the innate potential – you will be more than pleased with the results you see when you work with Jim Kelly.”
Darice Eppinger, Marketing Executive, Philadelphia
“Jim taps into the individual’s talents and skills that are often obstructed by daily hassles and previous experiences. Leading and coaching by example he brings out the spectacular gifts most leaders are unaware they possess. I’ve experienced real world results and an amazing transformation of myself as well as my business.”
Anzhelika Shatrov, VP, Chicago
“Jim’s unique approach to personal interactions creates such a positive and energizing work environment. Under Jim’s management, I felt valued, appreciated, and respected, and I achieved great success. I believe that this is the secret to Jim’s success — he is able to motivate in a calm and positive way. He is also very creative and not afraid to try something different to achieve success; he can look at a problem from every side and match solutions to the person. He showed me skills and talents that I did not know I had, but which I have since used to great effect in my personal and professional lives.”
Jennifer Dupuis, Account Executive / Technology Project Manager / Editor, Gale Cengage

“Jim has guided me through the trauma of the termination of my contract and the decisions needed to move on in my professional career. My plans are clearer and better focused after our sessions. His questions steer me toward my best, whether it be for an interview or an action plan. Using my own strengths, Jim’s guidance has prepared me for the next challenges in my life.”

“From Jim’s coaching, I’ve learned a lot about myself and why I deal with people, events, etc. the way I do. Rather than just worrying about something in the future, I now think about what I would like the outcome to be and prepare a strategy to help get me there. Jim has also helped me better understand that it is possible to have a happy family life, a satisfying career, and a growing spiritual awareness all at the same time.”

“I reported directly to Jim for nearly two years. Jim is a great manager and allows his colleagues to flourish with timely advice and instruction. He brings out the best in others and treats colleagues and clients with respect. I always trusted Jim’s advice and leadership and realized that he was constantly looking out for my best interests. Jim’s management style never included adjectives such as micro-managed, pushy or controversial. Rather, he built partnerships with colleagues and clients through a process of meaningful collaboration and problem solving. I learned a great deal working for Jim.”
