**********************************************************************
Jim blends three worlds most consultants respect but rarely combine: military leadership, deep technology, and entrepreneurial experience. From launching a semiconductor spin-off to overseeing advanced technologies at ITT, he’s led high-stakes teams and multimillion-dollar initiatives before turning full-time to leadership development.
Today, through Choinque LLC and Academy Leadership, Jim facilitates elite leadership programs, executive coaching, and keynotes around the world. He’s delivered leadership events across five continents, works closely with PMI chapters, and hosts ChoinqueCast, where he interviews leaders and authors on growth and service. His work is rooted in a clear moral compass: Service, Prudence, Courage, and Curiosity.
For consulting firm owners, Jim’s perspective is especially relevant: he treats leadership as an applied discipline, not an inspirational slogan. We’ll talk about practical tools like Personal Leadership Philosophies, closing “the coaching gap,” and designing cultures where feedback, development, and high performance actually stick, even in project-driven, client-heavy environments.
************************************************************************
Proposed Interview Structure:
1. You started in spacecraft microelectronics with the Air Force, then built and sold a tech company before moving into leadership. What key moments pulled you from technology into developing leaders full-time?
2. When you walk into a client organization today, what leadership problem are you most often solving, especially around this ‘coaching gap’ between evaluation and real coaching?
3. Who are your ideal clients now, and inside those organizations, who are the real decision makers and champions that make the work successful?
4. Of all the things you do, Choinque, Academy Leadership, PMI, ChoinqueCast, which one or two channels reliably bring you new clients, and what can consulting firm owners borrow from that?
5. When a new opportunity appears from a talk, event, or referral, how do you typically move from that first conversation to a signed leadership engagement?
6. Once you’re working with a client on a course or coaching, what do you do to turn a one-off program into consistent results and a multi-year relationship?
7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now as a leadership facilitator and consultant (if at all)
8. Looking a few years ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunities in leadership development for consulting firm owners, and what shifts should they start preparing for now?
