You will learn how to:
James grew up in a family of entrepreneurs, watching his father work 70 to 90 hours a week. He ran as far away from that life as he possibly could, but the entrepreneurial spirit never left him. He was always questioning the status quo, "Have you thought about doing it this way?" or "Did you notice this?" as a result of his questions, after 9/11, American Airlines, the company he was working for approached him and said, "We're not asking you, we're telling you, you're going into this program." That program brought James full circle back into the business and entrepreneurial world.
With over 20 years of coaching experience, James has worked with everyone from C-Suite executives to managers on the floor at American Airlines. He ventured out on his own in 2012 and joined Focal Point in 2023. Today, he works with entrepreneurs, business owners, and executives, helping them set and achieve goals faster than they would on their own. His ultimate desire is to see his clients succeed while still having time and energy for their families.
Throughout his journey, James has been on mission trips to Peru, Mexico, India, and Nepal, (on the trail to Mount Everest) where he helped set up small businesses so members of the local communities can support themselves and their local churches. In his free time he enjoys holding down beach chairs reading and trying to make holes in the water. The water always wins.
