Jim takes your audience on both a humorous and inspirational journey from explaining the severity of The Skills Gap, The Impact, and The Cause, to his unique, time-tested GET YOUR DUCKS IN A ROWE Solution. 

THE ISSUE

75% of managers rate Critical Thinking & Communication as the top two most important skills they look for when hiring executives.

Join The Mentor Movement.  Pick A Protégé.  Make A Difference.
