TESTIMONIALS

“My experience with James can be summarized in one word – Exceptional. Since my team is
not collocated and, at the time, were new to their roles, I wanted to accelerate our mutual
understanding and trust, and as a unit, create the foundations of sustainable success. James
led my team and I through the Core Values Index process supplemented with personal and
team development coaching. It was amazing to witness each person’s journey to self-discovery
and experience the birth of a committed team – committed to one another and committed to our
mission. We created our 2023 commitments and put them to action. All of which are alive and a
part of our DNA. It was an amazing process and I wholeheartedly endorse James as a coach
and facilitator. When we understand one another, we maintain focus and have fun doing the job
at hand! Thank you, James!”
“Look - there are lots of coaches out there that can push you to focus on your career. James
takes the larger view. He helped me ensure that my career serves my goals, my family and my
purpose in God’s image - and not my own. For that gift I am grateful. I would highly recommend
James if you know you need more from your coaching than just money or achievement. Reclaim
why you were uniquely made!”
I wholeheartedly recommend James as a Coach who engages you in a process of
self-discovery and action. James and I began sessions at a pivotal point in my career. He
carefully ushered me through a process that allowed me to have a breakthrough moment that
continues to shape my personal and professional life. His artful way of illuminating my operating
system has been invaluable. As a Coach he is the embodiment of a purpose driven life. As a
result of our time together, I have launched a successful behavioral consulting firm and would
be remiss if I didn’t say that his coaching was extremely instrumental in my decision to do so!
It is hard to put into words the way my life has changed since learning from and working with
James. A year ago, I was lost. The kind of lost in which I didn’t even realize it. The kind of lost
where having my head just above the water had become not only tolerable but also my new
normal. James helped me to see my true self and taught me the tools I needed in order to
embrace myself. I learned that showing up authentically myself is so incredibly important to me
and that I had failed myself in doing this in the past. I was able to see that at 33 years old, I was
still believing this lie ( that I created in my own mind when I was only about 7) that I needed to
dim my light in order to make room for others. Freeing myself from that silly little lie has changed
the way I show up. I am now on a mission to encourage others to show as 100% authentically
themselves so that they experience the life they were created to live. My life will forever be
changed. Thank you James.
“I highly recommend James Madison as a partner who helps you understand and improve the way
you get work done – for you and your teams. Using some innovative tools, James helped me to understand the kinds of work where I can lead with the energy and vision that the team deserves. Using this approach, I have been able to get more done by recognizing what I should do myself and where I need to partner with someone to be most effective. I get more done with more fun!"
"James is an outstanding professional! He was able to guide me through the CVI assessment and spent time to explain how it worked and how it was applicable to the areas of work that truly give me joy. He is clear and assertive in his message and coaching and always brings reality to the interaction. I was so impressed with his review that I have recommended him to my family, and even purchased CVI assessments for them!"
My daughter and I have worked with James utilizing the CVI (Core Values Index) to seek
clarity and alignment about our purpose and in what capacities we operate most effectively. This
exercise, along with James’ coaching has helped both of us to discover our Zones of Genius,
which is directly tied to why we were created. It has been both enlightening and inspiring to work
with James as each of us is at a crossroads and seeking direction for next steps. I highly
recommend James if you want to find out your true purpose and begin walking in it ASAP. This
is perfect for managers to do with their teams to ensure role clarity; for young adults or college
students seeking the best career path, and for adults who are looking to reinvent themselves
mid-career. Thanks James!!
