    About Me

    I take a relational and human approach to the work I do with students. This means engaging with questions and sharing my own personal experiences which includes my own lessons and mistakes! Since 2012 I have worked with a diverse range of clients to face and overcome a wide range of personal and professional challenges through 1-to-1 and group sessions. This has been possible through being mentored at an executive level for the last 14 years. I am Christian and my faith is increasingly important to me and the work I do to serve others.

    To give you a flavour of what it's like to work with me, here are a few testimonies from those I've worked with over the years...

    "I have been working with James for about a year now and in that year I have grown considerably. Many people in my life have noticed a change in myself and can see how much these sessions help me. It is safe to say I haven’t had the smoothest of rides so far in life and some things I have been able to discuss with James are things that I had never even dreamed of discussing." - Bethan Neaves

    "I met James fresh out of university feeling very lost, anxious, and overwhelmed about how to face my next steps pursuing a career in research. Now, at the end of our journey, I can happily say I begin my new job in Clinical Research next week!" - Janice Asare

    "There's other people like me that need the help of someone like James, to get the help, understanding, commitment and professionalism that he has shown me." - Louisa Mackenzie

    TRAINING TO EMBODY EFFECTIVE MANAGERIAL COMMUNICATION IN THE PROFESSIONAL FRAMEWORK
    ➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating. ➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how. ➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively. ➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission. ➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring. ➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session. Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020). ➤ THE TRAINER: Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words. ➤ PLACE, TIMETABLE, PRICES - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Zurich-Neuchâtel-Lugano-Montreux-Bâle-Neuchâtel-Berne-Lucerne-Bruxelles-Luxembourg-Paris-Lyon. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid, this format also unanimously suitable for those accompanied. -Apart from the classic advantages of videoconferencing (time savings related to travel, eco-responsibility, increased scheduling flexibility, etc.), the quality of the session & the interaction remain the same. In addition, the notes taken during the sessions are immediately transcribed on the session chat and are automatically transmitted to you so that you can browse them during and after the session if you wish. - Hourly fees: To support each other and to be pleasant to you in this period of covid19 and in a spirit of solidarity, the fees have been temporarily reduced.

    Chess class for beginners: Understand the basic principles, learn how to analyse the chessboard and build a strong foundation as a chess player
    Chess is a fun game that starts with the basic rules and moves through the 3 parts of the game: the opening, the middlegame, and the endgame. The focus at first is to teach you how the pieces move, what the goal of the opening is, and how the pieces interact. You will also learn the vocabulary related to chess and chess notation. Tactics are then explored to take advantage of hanging pieces, lack of king safety, space, and tempo. From here depending on what your personal goals are we will adapt the classes to cover what will help you progress. I can also give group classes, contact me if you have a group, we can discuss how to best organise those classes and pricing.

    Personal coaching, personal guidance (life, work, leisure)
    Sometimes you get stuck. Sometimes life choices and 'crossroads' are difficult. Sometimes you just don't know. Sometimes you're looking for someone to think critically with (or to think against...) Whether it is at work, in your life, relationship, social life, etc. Anyone can get 'stuck'. As a personal coach I teach and/or help you to come out of it better, to deal with it, to learn. Because every setback can also bring you something that you can use. That is what I want to teach you, discover together with you. I can help you structure what you are doing, set (realistic) goals for life and work. I also help you learn to prepare for difficult conversations, for example. But first and foremost, I listen to you. With reflection questions, I may already put you on a track that leads somewhere. I teach you how to discover what you really want. I do this by asking further questions (sometimes with uncomfortable questions) and by giving you exercises so that you can get started yourself. The responsibility of course always lies with you when it comes to making choices, or with regard to what you want to get out of a trajectory. But sometimes brainstorming and thinking together just helps better (in your learning process). With a psychology degree, a variety of courses after my education, 25 years of work experience (controlling, purchasing, strategic advice, administration, HR), coaching experience with interns, and education for adults, I am broadly oriented. I am analytical and like a pragmatic approach. I have experience with highly sensitive people. Want to know more or get acquainted? Please let us know.
