Don’t Just Take It From Us.
focus: strategic transformation & executive team development
“We retained Perspective Matters to work with our executive team during a period of strategic transformation to SaaS. We were facing the challenge of a radical shift in our business model and were also coming together as a new management team after many months of remote working due to the pandemic. Jim worked closely with us to build trust and intimacy in our team. He helped us to set some of our longer term milestones and, through independent one-to-ones and carefully facilitated quarterly executive off-sites, he gave us an unbiased perspective on our choices and focus areas.
Jim's approach encouraged us to document what was most important to the team, actively identify and address any conflicts, and fostered an environment of trust and open communication. His style was instrumental in building a cohesive and high-performing team, which ultimately created the foundation to achieve our goals during this period of significant change.”

“Jim, on behalf of the full team I would like to thank you for your guidance and drive during our team meeting. Talking to the team last week the consensus is that we managed to achieve far better results, and maintain a much stronger focus due to your involvement. The session was excellent, and we are only now starting to realise the extent of the ground that we managed to cover. It was well worth it, and we would be happy to act as a reference for Perspective Matters.”

focus: corporate mentoring, talent on-boarding
“I have been mentored by Jim for just over 2 years. We have worked together on my long- and short-term goals (work and personal). His friendly approach really makes it easy to have a flowing and honest conversation. We have structured reviews to make sure I’m on target with my goals and he is always on hand (email/phone) if I have any problems or concerns. Having Jim as an additional support mechanism has really helped me. He has also supported me in my personal growth and in area’s where I feel less confident and with this has offered guidance in how to overcome.”
