| "Over the years, I have hired many speakers, sales trainers, authors and motivational experts . . . and I am talking about some of the best in the business. However, after hiring Jim Cathcart for a speaking engagement at a seminar in Chicago in the spring of 1979 he became a frequent guest speaker at other seminars and conventions across the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean. I have seen long-term results from his inspirational and educational messages far beyond what I have witnessed from any of the others over the years. Jim indeed practices what he preaches. If you're looking for a man capable of teaching and entertaining your group there is, in my opinion, none better. PERIOD." Gary Goranson, WorkEnders, Inc. |

A very dynamic, fun and useful presentation.” Seminarium Internacional |
