"We engaged with James as a public speaking coach who delivered a 6 week practical coaching session to a group of 10 Managers in my team. A year later and my colleagues still speak about the positive impact that this program has in their public speaking journey and is used as a frame of reference to highlight public speaking excellence."~ Andrea Ramirez, National House Building Council (NHBC)
