Our organisation has had a relationship with Jim for around 10 years. The fact that it has endured this long and has involved many different corporate events and occasions says so much about how highly we regard him. A true professional who prepares thoroughly and delivers consistently on each occasion. A very genuine person with an easy-going nature makes him a pleasure to work with and be around. He is particularly generous with his time and has gone above and beyond on several occasions for us. We look forward to our relationship with Jim continuing and I look forward to our next opportunity of working with him. Suncorp
I have known and worked with Jim Wilson for 20 years. Jim has been an MC for me, provided media and other advice and has become a great friend. He is professional, has incredible communication instincts, has gravitas and impact and has always had my back. I would not hesitate to recommend Jim for your assignment and would be willing to provide references on his behalf that befit the calibre of professional he is. Jim is a class act on multiple dimensions - they do not come any better. Telstra

Jim did an outstanding job as MC of our inaugural fundraising dinner. His exceptional professionalism combined with his willingness to share his own personal experience with sensitivity and authenticity ensured that the event significantly exceeded our fundraising target. As well as being superbly organised, he took the extra initiative to interview one of our researchers before the event to deepen his knowledge of the Institute. He kept the formalities on track all night whilst entertaining and inspiring our audience. I wouldn't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Jim.
