In todayʼs cross-cultural, hyper connected world, companies face constantly evolving threats and opportunities. Effective leadership and communication is more critical than ever to adapt and drive change. Managing teams and organizations is no longer enough for companies and organizations to succeed; they need transformational leadership. JIMPACT Enterprises creates strategic performance breakthroughs for teams and organizations through transformational leadership and personal power. We help companies to exceed their performance objectives by creating new levels of trust, empathy, empowerment and leadership.

Our work across key markets with some of the worldʼs leading organizations has helped us develop a range of leadership, communication and diversity tools. From creating unprecedented levels of engagement and performance in the workforce, to diversity workshops that leave participants celebrating their differences, we provide executives, individual contributors and trainers the tools that allow them to not only deliver the message but to be the story.

SOLUTIONS FOR LEADERSHIP Helping to create self-empowering leadership models within the workplace, we create new levels of empathy, appreciation, social and emotional intelligence.

Transformative Leadership Tools include activities, one-on-one coaching, self assessment, feedback, listening and communication tools to lead and motivate in ways that are genuine to the leader and to the team. We teach new ways to leverage vulnerability, confront personal fears and extend trust to galvanize teams and reach performance goals in ways previously believed to be impossible.

Leadership Workshops and solutions are essential for creating new possibilities for leadership through self-reinvention, and for reinforcing behaviors essential to successful leadership models including trust, motivation, empowerment, diversity, cross cultural competency, employee and personal development.

Cross Cultural Leadership Workshops are our traditional workshops with focus on the complexities of leading business initiatives across multiple cultures. We do not espouse theory. Our tools and trainings are based upon direct experience working in key markets including China, Ireland, Turkey, Norway, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Malaysia, The Bahamas, Spain, Canada, and in 43 States.

Blind Spots are a critical challenge to leadership. We work with leaders to take them beyond their comfort zones to understand and assess how their blind spots impact their decision making and relationships. We develop ways to work with blind spots as opportunities to increase leadership effectiveness.

INSIGHTS INTO OUR WORK.

Jim,

My staff and I participated in your workshop on June 1st and 2nd and over the past 20 days we have been JIMPACTing everyday. For me personally your help couldn’t have come at a better time. The following two weeks after your class I traveled the country making presentations to our VPs, Senior Directors, Regional Directors and District Managers. I started off each presentation by being the story and as I went through my presentation I kept remembering back to your class (be big, hold your fingers up when talking about things less than five, focus on someone when telling the story or making a point, etc). My presentations went off without a hitch and I received great feedback. This was the first time that I went back to my seat after the presentation and my boss said there was not one thing to improve on. I owe it to you.

As far as my Trainers, they have JIMPACTed our three-week training classes. We have posters and quotes that are framed and hung at angles, we have quotes on chairs and the floor, we roll dice for breaks, play music before class and after class, sneaky reviews and more. We recently appointed someone as our JIMPACT coordinator to share ideas across the Pharma companies so that we can all benefit from the creative ideas.

Going forward we are building a training class for our representatives that have been in the field for about a year to come back for a week and take a deeper cut into all areas of the skills. In the process of building this class we have put JIMPACT ideas in our leaders guides so that it doesn’t matter who is facilitating, they must use the JIMPACT ideas.

Jim these are just a few of the many ways you have helped myself and my team improve personally, but also in a manner that will have a positive impact on our training classes. I say this because our training classes have approximately 75 plus people and we have classes every 4 to 5 weeks. Quick math will tell you that we have trained over 40% of the company this year so everyone that has been trained since June 1st has been JIMPACTED.

Thanks again for the help and if you have any other resources or aids that you can pass along please do so.

Regards,

Scott TinkelTraining Manger- Product Training PriCara

You are on "the verge" of something big! I can feel it! Be careful though.

No Excuses. Just Performance!

We believe training and coaching is more than an event, it is an opportunity to create performance breakthroughs through application based training to build teams that improve measurable business results.

Dear Jim Smith,

What an amazing program you conducted on Executive Presence: Presentation Excellence for the Just Born Leadership Team! Each of the participants was on the edge of their seat from the opening to the very closing of the program. They made clear and measurable progress and became much more effective presenters immediately. I have heard nothing but high level praise from everyone who attended.

In fact, immediately following the program, the Vice President for Brand Development and Corporate Services delivered a presentation for a local business organization. She used the tools and skills she learned in your class. One of her colleagues sat in on the presentation and grabbed me at the cafeteria the following day. He said “Wow!” That was the best I have ever seen her present! She was already a good presenter, but she has really taken her skills to the next level.”

Thank you for delivering such high quality results, thereby making me a hero with my internal customers.

Sincerely,

Meloney Sallie-Dosunmu

Senior Manager of Organizational Effectiveness & Talent

Re: Jim Smith – Recommendation

Many accomplished speakers hold the audience, entertain, and satisfy. Yet few make the personal, emotional connection that lingers beyond the ride home from the speech. Jim Smith, Jr. is one of those rare keynote speakers and presenters whose message lingers, gnaws, and provokes change long after his applause dims. Earlier this month, Smith delivered his “RESET” keynote to 80 attendees of the January 2010 Philadelphia ASTD chapter meeting. Today, all the attendees I speak with still talk about it! Jim mixed humor, introspection, storytelling and precisely-timed motivational pronouncements into a 75- minute keynote chock full energy, interaction, emotion and audience buy-in that‟s earned him the moniker “Mister Energy” in the speaking world.

Jim‟s rich resume of credentials in academics, professional sports, corporate leadership, publishing and speaking contribute not only his depth of knowledge, but also to his bold presence as a speaker. Yet Jim‟s recounting of everyday situations built his strong connection to our group of training and human performance practitioners, managers and corporate leaders. Jim enlivened his talk with examples of accessible, familiar life challenges – from the mundane (“Do I dare try to exchange my dying Christmas tree for a new one?”) to the poignant (“Did I blow it by telling my daughter that a “B” wasn’t good enough?”) to the career-altering (“Was I so comfortable being the „nice guy‟ employee that I was afraid to show management that I could lead?”) - illustrating how each offered a choice of short-term satisfaction or long-term mutual benefit.

Jim went on to demonstrate ways each situation presented choices, and called on us attendees to voice similar choices in our own situations. He then challenged us to go on record with the choice that would lead, inspire others, and test one‟s self-centered, short-term wishes against mutual long-term interests, goals and shared values. Jim transmitted his RESET message via some memorable catch phrases: “Don‟t just „think outside the box‟ – Live outside the box! Perform outside the box! Dance like nobody‟s watching!” Instead of “ordering from the „whine list‟ of life, waiting for „things to turn around,‟” Jim asked “why don‟t YOU turn around?” In this way, Jim challenged this professional group to transfer the evening‟s learning into real-life change and action, and sent us home with tools to do just that!
