Jim's Journey to Become a Winning Jockey
Jim's journey into business began with several years as a City M&A lawyer in London after which, at the age of 30, Jim made the radical switch to train as an actor. He worked successfully in international television and stage productions for a number of years and became increasingly fascinated by the power of persuasive and inspiring communication in achieving success. With his unusual combination of experience Jim was being asked to speak to and advise corporate audiences. This led to his very successful business training company being formed.
To prove his theories about motivation, achieving the daunting and change, Jim recently embarked on a new and dangerous journey - from being an 11 stone non-riding, overweight smoker to become a licensed jockey... in less than 1 year!
