"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!”

"Jim's support has been instrumental in finding a balance in this busy, complicated world. Jim Ladd has been an inspiration to me. He's my rock."

"Within my team I began to see greater efficiencies in communication, problem solving, and accountability. I am extremely grateful for having hired Jim as a Personal Coach and I am extremely happy and excited with the results within my investment team."

"Could this person actually help me? As it turns out, the answer was a resounding 'Yes'. Thanks to Jim, I am able to keep my 'dragons' to the sides and behind me, clearing my path to a better life."

"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."

"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."
