JIM BOUCHARD
"People perform at their best when––and only when––they know their leaders care. When their work has meaning. When they know they have a real opportunity to learn, grow and develop.
That's the heart of my mission. Developing leaders who care––who put people first. These aren’t soft skills. They’re HARD ASSETS. When your people succeed – YOU succeed.”
Jim Bouchard, The HUMAN CENTRIC LEADER

FROM LOSER TO LEADER…
By his own admission, Jim should have been dead or in jail many times over. Martial arts helped him overcome a life of crippling self-doubt and self-destruction. In his programs, Jim shares his inspiring transformation from dropout and drug addict to Black Belt and Sensei -- and how that experience made him a genuine leader. He went on to open 5 martial arts schools, helping hundreds of people achieve their Black Belt rank, and thousands more discover their best selves. Today, Jim helps leaders around the world connect on a deeply human level to attract, engage, and lead people to their highest levels of performance and productivity.
"Jim shows us how to unshackle, release, and become the leader we aspire to be.”
