"At first I was very apprehensive about sharing
my personal thoughts about my career and
home life with anyone, nevertheless a complete
stranger. However it did not take long to open
up and share with Jim as he seemed to be like
an old friend you could trust and a good
listener. He certainly helped me look at my
colleagues from a different perspective, that
being their personality type and their approach
to problem solving and communication. From a
personal standpoint, Jim helped me prioritize
things in my life and communicate and plan
goals together with my family. I can't imagine
anyone who could not benefit from Jim's life
coaching!”

"What you have taught me will never be forgotten. You have given me a great gift, taught me a great deal and I am forever indebted to you for this. You do good work Jim, and I can't thank you enough."

"My experience with Jim has been one of objective self-assessment and realization of what is important to me, both professionally and personally; including what I want to achieve in this life. Jim's guidance and knowledge have empowered me to make the changes needed to get me there. With his support I've set career and life goals, and mapped out the steps and timelines in which to get there. I'm learning to prioritize what is truly important to me. Jim's football coaching career, as well as his personal life experiences truly enhance his capabilities in this role of a business and life coach. He is personable and yet makes you accountable. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for assistance or needing that "push" to make changes in your life for the positive."

"Working with Jim is one of the best things I've done in a long time. His personal transformation program and expert level coaching have enabled me to achieve lasting balance in my personal and professional lives."
Jody B. (Systems Consultant)
"By the end of the second meeting with James, he already knew how 'coaching' would help me. With a few well-chosen words, he encouraged me to choose a life-changing path. Of course, the method needed a defined process, but the first step was action.
I'd been in a holding pattern for a long time. Balance had shifted gradually as one facet of my life swelled over its limits forcing others to shrink. Yes, we can sit in limbo for months and years - even acutely aware of our state - but what if the holding pattern continued till our last day on earth?
I know that is not what most people want. But sometimes it takes a keen insight from another person to start the process.
Thanks to Coach Ladd for having the skill to see that and guiding me to make that change in my life."
