I was very fortunate to take part in Jamie’s Building Champions mentoring programme.

Through a series of group and 1-1 sessions, I feel like I have come to learn my own strengths and weaknesses much better than I had before.

Jamie helped me think about my personality traits in different ways and to be conscious of them in my day to day work and personal life.

Jamie is a genuinely nice person to work with and he put me at total ease discussing challenging past experiences – helping me to see them from different angles and using them as learnings.

I would highly recommend working with Jamie, either as an individual or by helping people in teams.

Jamie delivered his Building Champions mentoring programme to a number of our senior managers.

The programme involved a mix of group coaching, 1:2:1 coaching & journalling.

The quality of the coaching & the results he achieved were phenomenal with words like ‘life-changing’ and ‘inspirational’ cropping up regularly in the feedback.

I’d highly recommend Building Champions to any business looking for a no-nonsense, pragmatic approach to developing sustainable leadership capability & we look forward to working with Jamie again in the near future.

We were delighted to have Jamie as part of our 2024 kick off Conference. He delivered an amazing session, with real insight born out of his own achievements & experience. As a speaker Jamie is modest, professional, humorous & as you’d expect, his sessions really pack a punch.

We approached Jamie as our Chief Information Officer saw him at another event last year and was really impressed. There has recently been a lot of change in the division with a new management structure and service rename which has led to much change for the staff. The CIO’s ambition to be our best to deliver a significant digital transformation programme was the key driver for asking Jamie to support us on this journey.

We wanted to offer clear and effective techniques to our middle managers that would give them the autonomy and motivation to be their best to deliver a transformation programme of scale and support their teams. We were not disappointed!

We had a couple of meetings with Jamie prior to the event and he understood our objective and our expectations suggesting the 4 week Champions programme. The day itself was engaging and fun and everyone in the room was energised and left feeling they learned something from the day.

As this was a 4 week-long programme with weekly activities built in it meant the day’s learning was consolidated and practiced and then presented back to the groups which allowed for staff from different teams to have shared learning experiences and mix with people that they wouldn’t have done.

The organisation and structure was excellent but most importantly Jamie’s genuine passion to succeed and to help the team grow was evident throughout the entire experience.

We offered Jamie’s Building Champions Programme to our members who operate at senior director, shareholder and owner – managed level within their respective companies. Despite coming from different businesses the entire cohort benefitted considerably from Jamie’s structured course and his insightful coaching. From working on areas for improvement to enhancing existing areas of strength Jamie skilfully guided everyone to new heights and levels of performance. The coursebook which accompanies the programme is a permanent guide that allows for the ongoing navigation of leadership challenges. A high-quality leadership and personal development experience.

David Ross ACII | Education Secretary

I embarked on Jamie’s Building Champions Programme having realised that my own leadership skills had become somewhat jaded in recent times. Under Jamie’s tutelage I have seen vast improvements to my personal and commercial resilience, learned the value of “Hard Truths” and how to embrace them, exerted a more positive influence on myself and those around me and built stronger well-being habits. In summary I have now not just re-discovered my edge I have significantly improved it. Jamie’s own personal stand out accomplishments and his authenticity as a leader elevates this course to a level which even established and experienced leaders can benefit from. One of the best investments I have made in myself.

Jamie’s Coaching is thought-provoking, engaging and most importantly has a bias to positive action that really benefitted me. The best investment in personal development I’ve probably ever made and I still use the tools over a year down the line. Thanks again Jamie!
