In February 1999 Jim's new book,
The Learning Paradox was nominated for the Canadian National
Business Book Award. Books for Business — the premier business
book seller in Canada, listed it as one of the 10 top selling business
books in all of North America. There are over 30, 000 copies in print.
The book was released by Macmillan Canada in May 1998 and within its
first three months hit the Canadian Bookseller Association's
bestseller list for new business books. The Learning Paradox's
basic theme is that "job security" as we knew it is gone. Individual
and organizational security is now based on learning, changing and
coping with uncertainty. Paradoxically these are what we as adults
fear most!
Association,
the official magazine of the Canadian Association of Society
Executives (CSAE), in its January 1999 issue featured Jim as one of
North America's top speakers and best speaker bets for the century.
Meeting Professionals International has also rated him as one of North
America's best speakers — MPI's 1994 Professional Education Conference
(the largest in MPI's history) ranked Jim's session in the top 15 per
cent of all sessions!
As a management consultant Mr.
Harris, works with North America's best businesses, Fortune 500
companies, and organizations aspiring to join these ranks. Between
1992 and 1996 Jim represented the Covey Leadership Center in Canada —
teaching Dr. Stephen Covey's work, The Seven Habits of Highly
Effective People to Canadian clients.
Jim is skilled not only as a platform
speaker, but is experienced in leading strategic planning sessions
with executive teams. His thoroughly researched and individually
tailored presentations focus on key leadership issues affecting all
organizations. A gifted communicator, it is ultimately his obvious
concern for people, and his commitment to increasing the individual
and organizational security of his clients, that make Mr. Harris one
of the most effective and sought after speakers in North America. His
intensive, hands-on seminars range from three hours to three days.
