Values: What's Behind Jim's Vision?
Core Values
Jim's core values are Faith, Family, Future, Freedom, Fine Art, and Fitness:
Faith: Jim is a Christian and his relationship with God through the person and work of Jesus Christ is the essence of his identity. For Jim, faith also incorporates the concept of worldview which is how one sees and understands the world, the meaning of his life, the purpose of his relationships and the nature of reality. For Jim, coaching is his calling.Family: In addition to his relationship with his creator, his relationships with his wife and his children provide meaning and purpose as well as motivating Jim to stay focused and succeed. His identity as a husband and father are essential to his understanding of himself, his vision and the expression of his God-given gifts.Future: When Jim references the “future” he is talking about both time and eternity. The vision of helping others achieve their goals is worthwhile for this life and the next. Life matters, finishing well matters and for Jim, the link between success in this life and fully enjoying the next is inseparable.Freedom: For Jim, freedom is more than a civil liberty as determined by the U.S. Constitution. Freedom captures the ideas of independence, individuation, autonomy and adventure. Jim is a free-spirit who enjoys the wind in his hair, the open road and if it’s the road less traveled, well that’s all the better for him. Sometimes he even takes a map! (Just in case he needs a placemat.)Fine Art: God has revealed himself to us as a God of Design and Beauty in the order and magnificence of the universe. Creativity is a gift possessed by every human being because we are all created in the image of our creator and artistic expression is an essential element of Jim’s identity and vision.Fitness: Spiritual, physical, mental, emotional; take your pick. Either you are strengthening or weakening. Jim has witnessed the dynamic relationship between these areas of life and embraces the reality that often, as we grow weaker in one, we can, must and do grow stronger in the others by way of that weakness. Health in diet, exercise, spiritual devotion, constant learning and emotional self control are both challenges and core values for Jim.
