After our retreat with Jim, we had the tools and courage to address our tough issues. For the first time we were able to create a foundational partnership among our divisions, grounded in candor and authenticity.

In two days of intensive work together, Jim guided our partnership to a soft landing during a period of conflict by helping both of us ‘stretch’ our thoughts, actions, and hearts toward one another. We also have a new set of go-forward principles that guide us.

Jim worked with me on several occasions at my prior role as CEO of CPPIB in Toronto. With his assistance our senior management team became more cohesive and greatly improved our communications. Our authentic conversations led to greater productivity and a more enjoyable work environment.

I first connected with Jim in my mid-twenties while juggling work, grad school, and living in New York—close to burnout and not quite sure how to let go of some outgrown relationships. I learned the tools to find my balance, take a step back from drama-prone relationships, establish authentic footing at work, and regain my drive.

Our next-generation family forum has given our three daughters and three young adult relatives the awareness, clarity and maturity to strengthen their sense of self and explore their unique giftedness. They have grown to be confident, centered young adults.

Adam, inspired me to explore my inner workings, affirm my desires, and to embrace who I am. I could always see the door, but Adam provided the guidance and motivation I needed to step through it.

Four years out of law school, I joined a peer support group led by Adam and Paul. Without the structure of school that I had known for so long, I found my approach to life more reactive than proactive, allowing certain aspects of my life to slip away. Although progressing forward in my professional and personal life, I felt a nagging sense of becoming unmoored. Within the structure of my forum, I learned to be intentional about where I focus my energy. After two years, I now have clarity around my sense of direction and purpose. My relationship with my wife, my family and my friends are also stronger because I am aware of and can openly communicate my needs and motivators. With the support and accountability of this group, I am confident that I will achieve a full life, well lived.

When I was 22 years old I joined a peer support group led by Adam and Paul. I truly feel lucky that I have had exposure to this unique dynamic. In an open environment with absolute trust, I have had the opportunity to be myself, speak my mind, learn from others that I respect, and get useful feedback on different aspects of my life. I can wholeheartedly claim that with support of this group I am taking full advantage of my life, living out my definition of success, comfortable with who I am, and confident in my path.

After 22 years of working in and running my family’s business, I was making mistakes, frustrated, and worn out. Jim challenged me to refocus my efforts from working in my business to working on my business … and the change has been dramatic.

Jim's chapter-retreat theme of "Get Connected" re-energized our chapter and was our highest-rated event of the year. Due to Jim's impact we are now one of the healthiest YPO/WPO chapters in the U.S. with significant presence at the GLC and other International events.

Each member of our group had a deeply personal – in some cases life-changing – experience during our time with Jim at the retreat. In all cases, there was unanimous agreement that with Jim as a catalyst, we were able to achieve the most meaningful forum experience in all of our years together. Jim IS the gold standard for forum retreat facilitators.

I had a successful business and a lot of fun, but my relationships were shallow. When Jim invited me to explore a ‘life beyond myself’ I was intrigued. I knew there was a missling link. Today, with Jim’s guidance, I’m a much more grounded person.

Jim has helped me shape a vision of how I'd like my life to turn out, how I'd like to be remembered someday by my family and friends, and what really matters most. He's also helped me piece together a map to that place. I now have a reliable compass for choosing a route that best suits my personality and value system. Our work together has been a real blessing.

Jim's Marriage at Midlife program really helped Patty and me to improve and deepen our communication, think about and structure our next life stages, focus on priorities, and face our 'shadows' head-on. We have a much richer relationship as a result. An absolute '10' life-changing and enriching experience.

Jim Warner facilitated our YPO Presidents' Retreat in 2010. To say that our group is demanding and hard to manage would be an understatement, yet Jim received our highest speaker ratings of anyone in the past several years.  The general consensus was that Jim was both thought-provoking and delivered great take-home value.
