MEET JIM

Jim Livingstone is an executive coach, leadership specialist and author. He is also the founder and Chief Learning Officer of Northpoint; an organisation that specialises in developing leaders.

Jim is incredibly passionate about leadership... He believes that leadership is so much more than productivity scores and numbers on a P&L.

He believes that leadership is what separates a place of work from a place to work, a group of people you work with versus a team you are part of, and a job you have to do versus a role filled with meaning and purpose.

For over a decade Jim has been helping leaders create exceptional value and make a positive difference to themselves, the people around them and their organisation.

TESTIMONIALS

Jim is a trusted partner of Bata Shoe Organisation, and has played an integral role in designing and developing global training initiatives for sales staff, store managers and senior management teams.

‘I have had the privilege of working with Jim when I managed the L&D function at Jurong Port. Back in 2011, the company embarked on a journey to provide essential skills development to all levels of staff. Jim was instrumental in providing guidance, experience and expertise that helped us shape, design and implement a flagship Executive Excellence Program targeted at Individual Contributors.

This 6-month workshop provided our employees with practical and relevant skills that they were able to immediately apply on the job to support their respective managers and departments.

Jim's engaging facilitation style helped the leaners to understand and take ownership of "What Good Looks Like". In addition Jim pro-actively spent time with the learners to help clarify concepts and ideas and provided ad-hoc coaching. The program was highly successful and due to popular demand we ran a total of 3 runs of the program.

As a L&D Leader, I valued Jim's professionalism in the way he interacted with the Jurong Port management team, made himself available to the learners and his relentless preparation that went into each workshop.

If any organization is after the services of an engaging, professional and highly committed training partner, then I highly recommend Jim.’
