“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.”
Andrew Barber-Starkey, President, ProCoach Success System www.procoachsystem.com*
“Every now and again I meet an enlightened, generous soul who is at once engaging, inspirational and pure of intent. James is one of those. He is a captivating and motivational speaker, whose message resonates with the deepest part of my being, as well as being a living example of what he can help people achieve.”

Your delightful way of sharing miracles has been bringing lots of people up to higher vibrations. You are a magnificent being on this planet and I am proud of you.
Love and Light, Bijan”

“James is one of those amazing people who make you feel immediately at ease when you meet him – you feel completely safe and comfortable with him which I believe is a testament to his ability to focus totally on the person he is with at the time. His charisma at the front of the room as a facilitator and teacher is second to none… I have seen him capture an audience’s attention just by standing on the stage and looking at them with a quizzical smile on his face.
I have seen him bring them to tears with the truth of what he is saying and then I have seen him push them completely out of their comfort zone but have them come up to him at the end of the session to hug him saying ‘thank you for seeing I needed to do that’!
I feel privileged to have James in my life as a friend and would have no hesitation in working with him again on another adventure.”
Christine Gabb, Intuitive Life Coach www.inwardreflectioncoaching.com*
“I’ve known James for almost a decade now. I have seen him as a powerful and intuitive presenter to large and small crowds. I have experienced him in one-on-one settings where he places his attention one someone with the same caring intuitiveness. I have always been able to trust James to speak what he feels in the moment and not hold back – all in the name of helping his fellow man. In a nut shell “James really cares” and I am honored to call him a friend.”

“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, irreverance 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 became more of who I am because of who he is as my coach. I am forever grateful.”

“I have had the privilege of working with James Downie for over two years. He has an incredible ability to think out side of the box, his communication skills are second to none. He was the best promoter we have ever had and The Centre still uses the changes he implemented.
I would gladly recommend James to any promotional or motivational speaking events or just as a one on one coach. He would be an asset to any business no matter what he is doing. One of his favorite words is “brilliant” – and he is!”
Holly Bruce, Executive Assistant, The Centre for Transformation www.thecentrefortransformation.ca*
“James, you taught at several Peak Potentials courses I attended. Your presence as a trainer has deeply touched my life. At each event I felt you connected with me as an individual, I felt you understood me and you cared about my success… even though there were sometimes over a thousand people in attendance and we never spoke one-on-one.
Every time I think of you I get an overwhelming feeling of safety and knowingness that I have the potential within me to achieve whatever I set my mind to. Your heartfelt words of wisdom have inspired me to, what I consider to be, great success. And each time I set out for going to the next level, I think of you and know that I can do it.
I’m deeply honored to now be able to call you my friend. Thank you James for being such a fantastic human being!”
Dr. Jennifer Eve Alexander, founder & School Director, Full Circle Hypnosis Training College www.fullcirclehypnosis.com
“James Downie is a man of exceptional wisdom, integrity and compassion. He shines light on the blind spots of those he works with in a gentle manner and guides in a selfless way. As a speaker, facilitator and coach, James provides space for people to come to their own truths and then does everything in his power to assist them with achieving their dreams. I trust him to take wonderful care of people and know that he walks the talk. All this and a wicked sense of humor! Those who work with James are very fortunate. Be prepared to be powerfully touched by the experience. ”

“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 went from being angry and in turmoil, to feeling peaceful, having more clarity and laughing a lot! 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.”
Kim Taylor, Teacher’s Aid*
“I have worked with James and have discovered that he is a deeply committed, honorable, compassionate man that has a capacity for humanity that anyone who works with him, would be greatly benefited.
James has been both a student and a colleague of mine, which in and of itself speaks volumes about his curiosity, his openness, his caring, and his wondrous ability to put aside hierarchy to get to what drives him. A deep and caring heart that is concerned with the human spirit, heart, and life of each individual.
I have seen James take the extra time, so that each person he works with resonates with a personal connection and the words “…. you are not alone …” really mean something. He follows through, he is personal, he cares, he creates a space for people to discover themselves and be better for it.
I am happy to recommend James to anyone considering working with him, as I trust that James will also tell you if he can benefit you or not. A rare commodity in these recessionary times, and let’s you know he is actually listening to you and is worthy of the conversation.
I write this with a great love of the person that James is.”
Larry Gilman, The Mastery of Self Expression www.themasteryworkshops.com*
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!!!”
Monica Munro, Singer/Song Writer www.MonicaMunro.com*
“James is an open hearted coach and mentor. He has an ability to see through my stuff, understand me fully, and take me beyond my barriers. He has been a great coach and huge support to me over the past 5 years in staying true to myself and what I am creating in my life.
Thank you, James!”
Rejeanne Bischoff, Author www.rejeanne.com*
“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.”

Satyen Raja, President WarriorSage Trainings, The Get A Life Company! www.warriorsage.com*
“James Downie is an extraordinarily gifted trainer, speaker, mentor and coach - he easily captivates audiences of 3,000, audiences of 30 and everyone in between. His unique abilities to “get” people and really “see” them – where they are at, plus their true fullness, greatness and natural gifts – and to be able to navigate and TRANSFORM people from where they are stuck at… to that outside-of-the-box place of acknowledging and embracing who they truly are and what they have to creatively offer the world… is inspiring and empowering. James doesn’t just point someone in a new direction; he takes their hand and leads them masterfully to the fulfillment of their potential. Don’t wait – experience James’ gifts NOW… and live the life you are meant to live. ~He is also the most amazing man a woman could be married to. I am richly blessed.”

“I have know James for what seems like a lifetime! I have found him inspirational, passionate and knowledgeable.
He has a strong yet gentle presence about him that makes the experiential environment exceptionally easy for the participants to learn in. He commands his audiences with humor, wit and exceptional information. I always thoroughly enjoy the time I spend with James.
I consider him a teacher, facilitator, colleague and dear friend. I have watched him lead Sex, Passion and Enlightenment Introductory Workshops for WarriorSage for several years now… what I can say about his presentations…? Even I would have rushed to the registration table to sign up.”
Stephen Garrett MA, Vice President & Head Trainer, WarriorSage Trainings, The Get A Life Company! www.warriorsage.com*
“I have known James Downie for several years from participating in several of the workshops he has facilitated. Some consistent character traits I discovered in James are kindness, honesty, and a deep caring for others. James is a great facilitator who can really connect with an audience and feel what words or actions would best serve people in the moment. He’s passionate about his work, which translates into high-energy presentations and life-changing results for the participants. He is a deeply caring friend, loving husband, and supportive father. He always finds time to offer guidance and advice when asked. I am grateful to count James in my circle of friends.”

“James Downie is an exceptional soul..
You will realize this the moment you meet him…in his eyes, his smile, his handshake or his famous heart hug. He exudes a warm, friendly, authentic energy about him of trustworthiness that is un-deniable..
James is a clear, eloquent speaker and an incredible trainer. He has a natural humor about him that engages the audience where they are at and easily facilitates the most challenging and taxing of topic. He is intellectually sharp and quick on his feet on stage..
This man is not only extremely capable but integral. He lives his truth. Once he gives you his undertaking, you can rest assured he will understate and over deliver. He is the kind of man that if you really needed someone to count on….he is right there. Deeply compassionate…yet is about both support and challenge.
A solid friend and an exceptional business associate.
I wish I had met James 20 years ago. I also wish I had ten more of him in my life.”
