About Us
I have over 35 years of extensive and diverse people management experience across multiple industries, which has provided me with a rich tapestry of knowledge and skills. My career has spanned various sectors, including recruitment, retail, warehousing & distribution, logistics, manufacturing and hospitality, allowing me to understand the unique challenges and opportunities that each field presents.
This breadth of experience has equipped me with a versatile approach to leadership, enabling me to adapt my management style to suit different organisational cultures and team dynamics.
In addition to my management experience, I like to bring my successful sports coaching background into my business management roles. The principles of teamwork, discipline, and strategic planning that I learned as a coach are invaluable in the corporate world. I believe that fostering a collaborative environment where individuals feel supported and motivated can lead to exceptional results.
My coaching experience has taught me the importance of setting clear goals, providing constructive feedback, and celebrating successes, which I incorporate into my management practices to drive team performance and engagement.
Since moving to Auckland 27 years ago, I have gained valuable experience managing diverse teams composed of different cultures and age groups. This multicultural exposure has enriched my understanding of how to communicate effectively and build rapport with individuals from various backgrounds.
My experience in managing intergenerational teams has also highlighted the importance of mentorship and knowledge transfer, ensuring that wisdom and skills are shared across age groups.
Throughout my career, I have achieved significant success in building cohesive teams and growing business productivity and profit through good common-sense initiatives. I focus on developing and motivating people by identifying their strengths and aligning them with organisational goals. I strive to eliminate inefficiencies with sound practical solutions that are both innovative and effective. My analytical skills allow me to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement within processes, enabling me to implement strategies that streamline operations and enhance productivity.
Recognising the value of sharing knowledge and my goal is to provide guidance and support to individuals and organisations looking to enhance their management practices and team dynamics. I am dedicated to empowering others to reach their full potential and achieve their goals through tailored coaching and consulting services.
This venture allows me to combine my love for coaching with my extensive management experience, creating a meaningful impact in the lives of those I work with.
If you're interested in exploring how my experience and insights can benefit your organisation, please feel free to contact me anytime for an obligation-free chat. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your challenges and aspirations, and to see how we can work together to achieve success.

Small improvements can lead to significant efficiencies.

I have real life experiences with all of these types of issues and have developed solutions and tactics to rectify them.

Success Stories
At AWF Jim developed a team of multicultural people to represent the company.
This enabled the business to grow from 35 workers to over 100 going out to construction sites throughout central Auckland daily.
Our clients received excellent value for money and kept our workers on the job for longer than expected. This made a significant difference to the profitability of the business.
Jim worked long hours and showed excellent dedication to build an outstanding team.
Micheal Kaveney - Branch Manager
Jim reported to me in his position of Operations and Warehouse Manager at Caprice NZ. He quickly made a huge impression on the team of 30 warehouse staff. Productivity was increased by over 40% within a few months. He managed some poor performers from the business and created a team focused culture. The staff were clearly more motivated and happier under Jim's guidance.
Jim also mentored promising staff members and created pathways for promotion within the company.
We now get consistently good results from the warehouse for the business.
He also made some significant cost savings from our suppliers and lifted our DIFOT standing with our customers.
