But, what else makes us stand out?

Marrying up more than 15 years of experience and research…

With his background as a client-facing adviser and owner of a financial services business, James brings a wealth of experience to the table. Coupled with an MSc in Communication, Behaviour and Credibility Analysis and being a certified behaviour analyst, James knows exactly how financial services individuals and firms think and how they can use EI to support better team communication and overall success.

Training that is grounded in science, not opinion…

Quite often, training packages are based on someone’s experience: “This is what worked for me; now I’ll tell you how to do it”. However, this is just someone’s opinion. It doesn’t take into account that different people have different personalities, and you need to dig deeper into the science to find out what works for them. Our difference is that we incorporate individual’s differences through emotional intelligence.
