His commitment to excellence and path to achievement is one that will truly resonate with anyone looking to take their personal and professional accomplishments to a whole new level.”

“I’d like to take a moment to voice my appreciation to Mr. John St. James for his counsel, as well as applaud his lifelong dedication to helping others realize and achieve their individual goals and dreams. In the few years that I have known and been mentored by Mr. St. James, he has not only helped me visualize paths for furthering my personal and business goals, but helped me establish a foundation of practices to help me make these goals become reality. By breaking down the “big picture” of one’s goals and dreams into smaller, more digestible pieces, Mr. St. James helps to create an environment that is conducive for success in any arena. His sincerity and tenacity, coupled with his leadership experience make for a winning combination of coaching for personal and professional development. Thank You!”

“I came into this seminar looking for principals and thought processes I could apply not only to the success of my business but to all aspects of my life. Mr. St. James did not disappoint. From the idea of ‘everything begins with a thought’ to then applying that concept into the daily practice of knowing and understanding that ‘what we think determines who we are,’ I found Mr. St James’ seminar, Awaken the Leader Within, to not only be powerful, but absolutely useful and 100% applicable to my business principles, practices and success. Absolutely worth it!

Paul Lambros Lopez, Owner, 1220 Media LLC

“I recently attended the Put Your Dream To The Test leadership seminar presented by Grandmaster John St James. During this seminar he reviewed several leadership books and drew on his decades of leadership training to highlight key concepts that could be implemented immediately to improve both my work and family life and to push myself to achieve my true potential.

I had recently hit a slump, overwhelmed with commitments and with a lack of energy and focus, but the motivational message in this seminar helped me pick myself back up and put me back on the track to strive for excellence. Some of the concepts that were covered were ones that I had heard before and had already used in my life, but hearing it again stirred me to redouble my efforts in these areas. Other concepts were newer to me and helped me identify areas that I needed to focus on to improve my productivity and to increase my confidence and the pleasure that I derive from life. Using the ideas and motivation presented in this seminar I am now back on the path of living a life of Purpose, Passion and Potential.”

David Watson-Jones, Wardour Consulting, Inc.

“Enrolling in John St James’ Business Master Accelerator (BMA) program has been a transformative journey unlike any other. Under his expert guidance, I’ve experienced a monumental shift in both my professional success and personal growth.

Thanks to John’s strategic insights and unwavering support, I’ve not only doubled my gross income but also cultivated essential leadership skills that have propelled me forward in my career. His mentorship extends beyond mere business tactics; it’s a holistic approach that touches every aspect of one’s character. Through his mentorship, I’ve found a newfound confidence to embrace risks, knowing that his guidance serves as insurance. I consider the BMA program my self-defence system for potential business threats.

John’s BMA program has equipped me with the tools to develop a comprehensive leadership program and successfully implement JIT/CIT programs (Junior Instructor Training and Certified Instructor Training). These achievements have not only elevated my professional standing but have also reinforced my commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.

M. Weatherburn

“As someone who once felt like a white belt in business, John has empowered me to evolve into a black belt, demonstrating proficiency, resilience, and adaptability. Beyond business acumen, his mentorship has instilled in me a sense of balance and poise, akin to the discipline cultivated through martial arts training.

John isn’t just a mentor; he’s a catalyst for profound transformation. With his guidance, I’ve not only honed my business skills but also discovered a deeper sense of self-assurance and purpose. For anyone seeking to unlock their fullest potential and achieve unprecedented success, I wholeheartedly recommend John St James’ BMA program. It’s a journey that promises not only professional growth but also personal fulfilment and empowerment.”
