SARAH BORLAND, DIRECTOR, MEDIACOM.
I can say without hyperbole that working with Jim was one of the most enriching experiences I’ve had in my career. I immediately came away with a new armoury of skills to help bring out my own creativity and that of others. Months on I am still feeling the effect of how it has helped me to grow personally, in ways both tangible and tacit.
JEN SMITH, GLOBAL CREATIVE DIRECTOR, MAXUS.
Jim’s simple, human approach to creative leadership helped to teach the Maxus teams that work is all about how we show up every day, not instilling clever techniques and processes. We have applied the learnings,
delivered tangible results and live it every day in the work we do at Maxus.
OLIVIA DIAMOND, COMMERCIAL PROGAMME MANAGER, DIAGEO.
Apart from the very insightful content and great techniques I thought the delivery was the best I’ve ever seen– very human and hilarious (and I have high comedy standards ;-))
STAN STHANUNATHAN, CONSUMER & MARKET INSIGHTS, UNILEVER.
In a rapidly changing world what differentiates successful companies from average ones is ideas. Elvis unleashes the creative power of people in my team who are enabled to provide creative leadership to help others translate insights into big ideas.
