It was our pleasure to visit you!

The I Can & I Am message is hugely beneficial within business too! This week James spoke at Aon , focusing on how we can be more Inclusive. James’s inspiring words were heard by a large group within the office as well as an additional 800 who dialled in. #motivationalspeaker
