Leaders often play it safe, sticking to outdated strategies, avoiding risk, and wondering why growth and innovation feel out of reach. Jim broke that mindset for our members. His mix of stories, insights, and actionable frameworks showed us that the real barrier is bravery, not strategy. His thoughtful and inspiring presentation sparked tough but necessary conversations about what happens when we don't take bold action, and how brave leadership can transform organizations before disruption forces them to change.
