Personal Responsibility and Accountability
Thank you to Jim Smith Jr., and the JIMPACT organization for making a
huge difference in our training culture at Aimco!
-Juli Fussell, Director of Performance Training, Aimco
According to surveys completed by all levels of staff, Jim was the most inspirational and
dynamic speaker ever! We have already seen Jims thoughts carry-over into the workplace.
He accomplished everything we set out to do; motivate staff, increase interaction and give
them something actionable.
-Dan Robichaux, Chief Administrative Officer, Neighbors Federal Credit Union
As a veteran trainer, I still find myself learning new and valuable techniques every time I see
you in action.
-Mary Imbornone, VP of Programming, ATD, Philadelphia Chapter.
"What's getting in my way?" Really brings it home for me. So did you! Thank you for
the JIMPACT!
More than a workshop on facilitating, this was a lesson in personal leadership, authenticity and
powerful delivery! I have been Jimpacted!
Uva C. Coles, Dean, Career Management, Peirce College
It would be fair to say that the presentation was a hit, but its Famous to say you were
AWESOME! The responses from the General Managers attending the workshop were
outstanding.
Joleen Flory Lundgren, EVP Human Resources and Training
Jim,
My staff and I participated in your workshop on June 1st and 2nd
and over the past 20 days we have been JIMPACTing everyday.
For me personally your help couldnt have come at a better time.
The following two weeks after your class I traveled the country making presentations to our VPs, Senior
Directors, Regional Directors and District Managers. I started off each presentation by being the story and as
I went through my presentation I kept remembering back to your class (be big, hold your fingers up when
talking about things less than five, focus on someone when telling the story or making a point, etc). My
presentations went off without a hitch and I received great feedback. This was the first time that I went back
to my seat after the presentation and my boss said there was not one thing to improve on. I owe it to you.
As far as my Trainers, they have JIMPACTed our three-week training classes. We have posters and quotes
that are framed and hung at angles, we have quotes on chairs and the floor, we roll dice for breaks, play
music before class and after class, sneaky reviews and more. We recently appointed someone as our
JIMPACT coordinator to share ideas across the Pharma companies so that we can all benefit from the
creative ideas.
Going forward we are building a training class for our representatives that have been in the field for about a
year to come back for a week and take a deeper cut into all areas of the skills. In the process of building this
class we have put JIMPACT ideas in our leaders guides so that it doesnt matter who is facilitating, they must
use the JIMPACT ideas.
Jim these are just a few of the many ways you have helped myself and my team improve personally, but also
in a manner that will have a positive impact on our training classes. I say this because our training classes
have approximately 75 plus people and we have classes every 4 to 5 weeks. Quick math will tell you that we
have trained over 40% of the company this year so everyone that has been trained since June 1st has been
JIMPACTED.
Thanks again for the help and if you have any other resources or aids that you can pass along please do so.
Regards,
Scott Tinkel

What an amazing program you conducted on Executive Presence: Presentation Excellence for the
Just Born Leadership Team! Each of the participants was on the edge of their seat from the
opening to the very closing of the program. They made clear and measurable progress and became
much more effective presenters immediately. I have heard nothing but high level praise from
everyone who attended.
In fact, immediately following the program, the Vice President for Brand Development and
Corporate Services delivered a presentation for a local business organization. She used the tools
and skills she learned in your class. One of her colleagues sat in on the presentation and grabbed
me at the cafeteria the following day. He said Wow! That was the best I have ever seen her
present! She was already a good presenter, but she has really taken her skills to the next level.
Thank you for delivering such high quality results, thereby making me a hero with my internal
customers.
Sincerely,
Meloney Sallie-Dosunmu
