The Long Road East
Jim Cathcart has keynoted on every continent except Antarctica. He has spoken in all 50 states, every Canadian province save the Yukon, and returned to Australia ten times. But Asia holds a particular chapter in his story.
Over decades of international speaking, Jim built relationships across China, Singapore, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. He did not just fly in to deliver a speech and fly home. He stayed. He listened. He came back. The Cathcart methodology crossed borders not because it was translated, but because it was lived.
“Growth is not a language barrier. The acorn principle works in Mandarin.”
A room in Asia. The message translates.
The Partnership That Planted the Flag
Tiger Institute for High Achievement
The Tiger Institute for High Achievement is the vehicle through which the Cathcart methodology took root in Asia. Jim’s partnership brought professional development training, the CPE framework, and decades of accumulated wisdom to a region where the hunger for structured, rigorous expertise runs deep.
Through this partnership, Jim’s principles have reached business leaders, educators, corporate trainers, and emerging professionals across China and Southeast Asia. The work was not delivered as a Western import. It was adapted, tested, and earned through sustained presence.

The Road King in China. Between keynotes.
Between Speeches
The China Road King
Between keynotes one afternoon in China, Jim borrowed a Harley Road King from his host Micro, the videographer behind the “You Raise Me Up” flash mob, and rode.
One ride. One afternoon. Not a tour. Not a feature. Just Jim being Jim — a rider wherever he is, even in the middle of an international speaking tour.
He has ridden since he was fourteen. More than sixty-five years of miles across many U.S. states, parts of Canada, through the Alps with Paula twice, and for one memorable afternoon, down a Chinese street on a borrowed Road King.
