I made the decision to get out of debt,but didn't know where to begin. Jim's coaching was exactly the encouragement I needed to take that first step towards financial security.

Christine Atkinson, Coordinator, ISEA, Salt Spring Island

Jim's knowledge, enthusiasm and creative ability to 'think outside the box' has helped to inspire me to think of financial planning as  an exciting challenge rather than the 'dreaded task' it used to be.   Since a lot of this is new to me, I appreciate that Jim is able to convey financial concepts and goal-setting strategies with much clarity, in an easy-going, flexible, nonjudgmental and professional  manner.  With a game plan and coaching support in place, I now feel confident that I'll be able to make much progress towards my goals over time, and that makes me very happy!.

Shari Macdonald, Salt Spring Island

There are few things worse than having that big black debt cloud hanging over you  even though you have pretended for years that it is 28 degrees and sunny!

I was able to turn a corner in my life and start to get on with a task that in the past I have dreaded.  Jim’s generosity with his time and knowledge has enabled me to go forward step by step to clear up an old debt, plus make financial plans for the future. I felt physically lighter after our first meeting.  He has helped me to view my money in a positive rather than negative way.  He is sympathetic to how difficult it is to tackle things you had just wished would go away.  Jim does all this with great enthusiasm in a positive, caring manner.  He has inspired me to get involved with my financial future.

Thank you,

Carolyn Withers,Salt Spring Island

Jim's great communication style and depth of experience really helped my wife and I to clarify how to approach our financial future collaboratively. As a direct result of working with Jim, we were able to move from renting to purchasing a home on some beautiful land and are actively planning for our future. 

Pravin Pillay, Organizational Ecologist, Salt Spring Island

After a lifetime of avoiding my financial realities, Jim's patient and dedicated coaching has empowered and inspired me to face my financial present and future with clarity and commitment.  I am deeply grateful for the time Jim has taken in creating and offering expert guidance and customized tools to help me understand, in real and practical ways, what it means to be in control of my financial situation.  In just a few sessions, I have learned more than I have ever known about taking control of my finances and creating freedom for my future.  Jim's clear, genuine and practical guidance is a real gift.  Thank you Jim!
