“Jim has an amazing ability to quickly integrate learnings from both left and right side of the brain. It’s actually astonishing to watch his music come to life with his own “inner” voice, within a few short minutes. And that’s to say nothing of his skill on the guitar and the sweet tone of his voice.” October 30, 2011

“Jim Cathcart is one of the most impressive people I’ve had the opportunity to work wtih. I assisted him at one of his superb presentations and it changed my life. Sounds like hype, but it’s true. Among other things, our new friendship resulted in sharing authorship of a business book published by McGraw-Hill. Jim is able to craft a presentation so that, in addition to being entertaining and highly educational, it comes together with eloquent structure. All the elements of the talk are so well integrated that, at the end, the audience is often stunned by Jim’s excellence on the platform. Most important, Jim is so generous with his talents and skills that anyone in his circle is destined to enjoy becoming more like him–expansive, transformative and fully life-loving.” June 14, 2011
