Beginning as a facilitator, he latched onto his newfound profession as work he had been seeking for a long time. “Nothing is as rewarding as watching the eyes lighting up when someone learns” is one of the many attributes Jim believes is part of a trainer’s heart.
As this profession seemed a part of Jim’s natural DNA, it made perfect sense to learn instructional design, performance consulting, and organizational development. Using a previous management background, he was able to lead teams of facilitators, designers, and other consultants before accepting a role as a training director and then chief learning officer.
In 2005, Jim launched a new chapter as an independent training consultant, and in 2010, he published his first book about a process he designed called a Training Physical. Since then, it has been his mission to help diagnose, treat, and cure training functions. He has built and repaired training departments in many different industries, putting companies on a path where training is returning on the investment being made.
Jim has been a judge for the past three years for the CLO Media Learning Elite Awards and is a sought-after expert in the learning development field. He is always looking for new challenges and serious business connections. He invites you to connect with him if you have a question or an issue you think he can help you with.
