Following her dreams and creating beautiful music

“James Downie has played a hugely significant role in my life over the last 7 years!!!  He has coached me in many different settings … at personal development courses (Mastery of Self Expression, Train the Trainer II), at his personal workshops (Soul to Soul Selling), at ProCoach Systems Quarterly Seminars, as well as on a weekly basis over the phone.

James has a gift of being able to hear and understand what I’m expressing and feeling, and then offers me a healthy way of thinking and acting in whatever situation I am in … whether it’s deeply personal and related to my significant relationships, or business, or life vision oriented. My natural tendency is to set very high, unrealistic goals for myself, and then be frustrated when I don’t accomplish them.  James tames me by helping me restructure my goals so that I win and see my successes and celebrate them, while still having my outrageous goals.

James knows me.  He sees me.  He cares about me.  He’s gentle … and honest with me.  My acting on James’ coaching input in my life is a huge reason why I am so happy in my relationship with my partner and why I am living my music dreams … and this is invaluable to me!!!”

“As a coach, I value the quality of insight that a great coach can give. James Downie has been my coach for almost a year now and I’ve had the privilege of knowing him for almost a decade. I chose him as my coach because he has proven himself completely trustworthy in every dealing I’ve had with him.
James consistently brings his heart, insight, depth and care for people to his coaching. He’s willing to see me as “new” when he coaches me while still being aware of my hearts purpose. What I love most about James is that he remains open to me, cares about me and still calls the truth out of me with gentleness, irreverence and fun. I feel challenged and supported every time we connect.
His impact on my life is tremendous – I’ve changed jobs, started down a new path towards my big dream, created new income opportunities and become more of who I am because of who he is as my coach. I am forever grateful.”

“James is truly an inspiration. With an amazing sense of humor, his never ending capacity to love, and his dedication to help others, James has made a huge impact on my life. He has supported me, given me an entirely new way to see things in my life which opened so many doors for me! After just one conversation with him, I have gone from being angry and in turmoil, to feeling peaceful, having more clarity and laughing. After several conversations with James, I had the confidence to pursue my dreams and make huge changes in my life including traveling and working abroad.

It has been such a gift spending time with, and learning from, James. I will be forever grateful for all the love and support that he has given me.”

“I can honestly say that James Downie is one of the most talented people I know. He has it all – coach, entertainer, trainer, public speaker, successful entrepreneur and MHB (marvelous human being).

I have come to know James extremely well over the past 10 years. Our connection began with business coaching. After seeing him in action I was impressed with his coaching skills and track record and engaged him to work as a coach with our small business clients.

Within a few years James and I were working side-by-side facilitating The Mastery, a powerful personal development course. It was here I discovered his tremendous talent as an entertainer. Over and over I found myself howling with laughter at his humor and antics.

James is a gifted public speaker. When I needed to hire a professional seminar leader to fill in for me at ProCoach marketing seminars, he was my immediate first choice. He did a fabulous job and we received extremely positive feedback from those who attended. Most importantly, he produced excellent sales results for us.

I frequently invite James to present content and experiential exercises at our ProCoach seminars; always to the delight of our members. He is a solid and consistent member of our community and I am proud to consider him an associate and friend.”

“What strikes me most about James is how much he cares about my success.  James has a true joy in helping me move forward.  I know he is on my team 100%. I have seen the same joy in him anytime I have seen him working with some one, whether at a workshop or one on one.

James brings a high level of skill and a great toolbox to his work with people, but his caring is what stands out and makes his work special.  His caring really helps create a space where it is safe, making it possible to get more done or go deeper, allowing greater potential for a shift to a new level.

James is an exceptional coach with an uncommon joy in helping people move forward.”

“As a participant in several workshops and a coaching client of James’, he has an amazing ability to connect with people at all levels of an organization and is very intuitive…..

I recommend his coaching talents to any organization and or individual.”
