In this podcast, our job is to help you “see, feel and think” in new ways so you can get “Off the Brink!”

What might that mean? Jim and I talk at length about his own personal journey while working in a variety of different industries. In P&L sales and marketing roles, he gained valuable experience in entrepreneurial development. At GE, he participated in a joint venture with Time Inc that became General Learning Corporation. At McGraw-Hill, he was part of a new media development group and was responsible for building subsidiary companies in Mexico, Spain and Canada. At CBS, he was head of international sales and part of a joint venture with CBS, IBM and AT&T that became Prodigy. He was also CEO of Las Americas, a Spanish-owned media company, and a director at Heidrick & Struggles, building a global media and information services group.

Now as a certified executive coach, Jim works with corporate leaders and sales teams, helping them succeed at proposals, relationships and alliances. He is also a professional facilitator with EOS, helping leadership teams improve alignment and drive growth, and a chair at Chief Executive Networks, working with peer-to-peer CEO groups as a facilitator and coach. You can connect with Jim on LinkedIn.
