"Jim Bouchard is an
instigator, in every good sense of the word. As a speaker, Jim’s energy,
charisma, and acumen make an incredible combination. When he spoke to our group,
there was an abundance of nodding heads and lively audience interaction.
I’d go to his seminars any day!"

"Top notch speaker, motivator, and educator rolled into one!
I have worked with Jim over the
past three months and by far, what he has to offer to my clients, has been
exceptional.
"Jim's four-part workshops on creating and maintaining personal power,
culminating with developing an entrepreneurial edge, have been some of the best
attended, highest rated workshops over the past two-years!
"Jim doesn't just "give
people information," he motivates them to use the information given and make
themselves and those around them better!
I highly recommend Jim to anyone that wants to grow their employee base and or
motivate themselves to reach the next level."

"Thank you
for the outstanding program you provided to Oakhurst Dairy on “Respect in the
Workplace”.
Both our executive and middle management level staff members enjoyed it so much
we now wish to invite you to present both segments of the program to all our
employees this spring…
"You have my
sincere gratitude for a job well done as indicated by the very complimentary
evaluations you received. We now have a new Code of Ethics and Respect that
went into place earlier this week. Much of the credit for this new document
come as a direct result of all the discussion in the senior leadership team
meeting following your program. I've attached a copy of it with this note.
"Thanks again, Jim. Simple, yet excellent. That's how we describe your program!"

"I want to sincerely thank you for the time you spent with us…your presentation
was just what was needed.
I compliment you on the content and the method you presented your message on
“Dynamic Components of Personal Power”. ...selfishly more importantly the
philosophy you presented of connecting discipline, time, spirit/health, focus,
balance, and motivation in triangles with their interdependency helps give a
visual structure to what you practice and teach.
"The Alion
staff...gained invaluable insight as to how ones spirit/heart affects
development of healthy living; how strong spirit and mind leads to strong
bodies, which in turn leads to a greater sense of confidence.
Having our heart in the right state will create a positive outlook (mind) of
ones situation, which will help the body in developing good heath habits. All
of which make the person a better contributor to their family, their co-workers
and employer and their community in general."

"Jim is an amazing
person ,as his impressive resume would indicate, and graciously agreed to come
speak to our kids about the ways they can improve their lives through positive
thinking, goal setting, prioritizing and reflective thinking, leading to
greater personal power.
"Jim says "Some people
confuse power with aggression or control. Power is about fulfilling our nature
and using the abundance of our human potential. If you really want to benefit
others, cultivate your own personal power." Sound familiar? Hyde School
and Jim see eye to eye on the importance of developing student's
confidence and their sense of control over their destiny.
"The kids received him
with great spirit and rapt attention! His program took up the whole morning
,but you wouldn't have known it by the extent of the questions, opinions,
hopes and dreams that flew back and forth between Jim and the kids.
"It was a day that
will not be forgotten as no one could have left the room without many things
to ponder in terms of their own search for personal power and fulfillment.
"He's done so many things at such a high level I couldn't help but learn from
him," one student wrote. Another was effusive in their praise of his
presentation, saying "I've studied martial arts for years and never had the
heart of it explained to me so succinctly."
"Many faculty poked
their heads into the room and found themselves staying to listen. "It's was
good for the kids to hear Jim reinforce the ideals we teach here at Hyde in
another form," one astounded teacher said.
"All in all, it
was a good day for all who sat in fascination listening to a man who was so
obviously committed to getting the best from himself and to teaching others
how to do the same for themselves. We thank Jim for coming and sharing
himself and his powerful message with the Hyde Community."

"The Pine Tree Council, Boy
Scouts of America asked Jim Bouchard to speak at a planning conference with
four other Boy Scout Councils in attendance. Jim was very good at targeting
his talk to professional Scouters; he understood what we do and why we
do it. He engaged the group, and facilitated discussion very well, by asking
direct and rhetorical questions and asking for feedback. He also used
many anecdotes to relate to the audience and tell his story.
"Jim’s message was about individuals having the
power to make their lives what they want them to be. Jim explained he is not
a motivator, but an instigator, because it is up to individuals to motivate
themselves. He did a nice job tying this into what we do as
professional Scouters and the aims of the Boy Scouts of America. Leadership
development is our focus, and making the youth understand they are responsible
for their actions and their own development is crucial.
"Personally, I walked away energized and refocused
on my job. It was encouraging for someone who does not have much of a
background in Scouting to come in and understand and appreciate what we do.
Jim’s talk made me step back and take a look at what I do, and remind me why I
started doing it. After listening to Jim I was excited to do my job and help
the 300 volunteers I work with provide the Scouting program to nearly 1,200
youth."
