James Caplin
James Caplin became a coach after a five-year campaign to clear his housing area in West London of its long-standing sex-and-drugs market. The campaign resulted in a peaceful neighbourhood and a heightened sense of community. It was from this experience that James realised the importance of presenting yourself powerfully –especially when in an apparently inferior position.
From this, James coached a CEO to do a presentation, which has led to a wider practice of one-to-on coaching, workshops and group coaching where current clients include Notting Hill Housing Trust, MorganStanleyQuilter and DaimlerChrysler UK. James has a degree in English Literature and worked as a freelance scriptwriter of training and information videos and other multimedia. In 2003, he became a full-time freelance executive coach, running several communication skills workshops, including one on presentations that proved so popular that it has inspired him to avail it to a wider audience in book form.
