I came back home from the workshop with a renewed energy and confidence. With that I was able to initiate a network of people who believe in democratic values, have commitment to generate a new future and also positively influence political leaders to take bold actions. I have been engaged in this journey for last 15 years and I am fully convinced and confident that the learning I received at the workshop is what we need for a greater social transformation. These days, I have been continuously traveling to many parts of Nepal to meet with political leaders and to organize workshops for bringing transformation at personal, professional, team and organizational levels.Community Leader and Facilitator, Kathmandu, Nepal
I remember that Jim told me how impressed he was that I was investing in myself, to come to his workshop. I had never thought of it in quite that way before. (And yet I know from experience how important it is for my clients to invest in themselves with me — at levels significant enough so that both they and I value my work.) At that workshop, I wrote a vision for the future that seemed so audacious that I promptly put it away. For several years, I rarely looked at it. Until recently, when I realized that it is indeed coming to pass.Global Consultant and Facilitator
My Virtual VIP Day with Pam erased my overwhelm and gave me clarity and focus. I’m excited about my business for the first time in months.Owner and CreatorThe Entrepreneur's Virtual Handshake
The workshop came at an inflection point in my life. I needed to decide whether I was going to become a “leader” or a “foundation administrator” for our community. Developing a deep understanding of Appreciative Inquiry helped me become more comfortable with the idea that leaders don’t have to have all the answers (which I didn’t) but can be the people who ask the right questions (which I learned to do). In the intervening years, we’ve grown the foundation tremendously, both in size and in service to the community.PresidentBerks County Community Foundation; Chairman of the Board, Council on Foundations
I took more than two weeks of unpaid leave while working for a “Big Five” consulting firm to attend Jim’s program in Australia. I have never been the same since! Jim has a wonderful gift for being able to create the space for miracles to emerge.Consultant
When I first attended Jim’s workshop it was a few months into my nascent consulting practice of working with community organizations. That experience with Jim showed me how to bring my best to my work, and how to translate that to organizations and communities. My fees doubled after the 2005 workshop, and had a significant increase after our next time together. Each fee increase was preceded by increased confidence in what I can bring. The last 3-4 years have been the best ever. That is, until this year when my 6-month income already surpassed last year’s.OwnerAdvancement Services for Native Nonprofits, Hilo, Hawaii
That last workshop was instrumental in my thinking through this “next act” in my career, as I ready for transition. We face a remarkable opportunity to redesign the public sector in my state. The budget: We can’t cut our way out of it, we can’t tax our way out of it, and we can’t grow our way out of it. We’re going to have to redesign our way out of it.Senior Fellow and President at Center for Policy Studies
I signed up for a VIP Day with Jim knowing that it would be a delightful experience. What I didn’t expect was a new appreciation for what I bring to the world. That translated into a fee increment from my very next engagement that returned my VIP Day investment. Sweet. I’ve been in business for almost 25 years and find it humbling to discover something I have been missing — appreciating my own value — which leads to clients appreciating my value even more, creating a virtuous circle of improvement.Author, speaker, and consultant to managementPelerei, Inc.
A few hours with Pam saved me months of circling around in my own head. She cut through the clutter of too many ideas and got me up and running right away — with a clear niche market and compelling ways to tell people about my business.Visual Facilitatorc2b visual thinking
