About This Podcast

The world is changing - faster than we can keep up. But change is a distraction, and the way to respond to macro change is to focus on micro you. Jim's Take creates an environment that’s ripe for learning practical, tangible and interesting ways to remain relevant while improving yourself and the people around you. Jim Frawley is an arbiter of change; working as an executive coach and business consultant with a unique capability in getting people to do things they didn’t think they could. After some experimentation on using this capability for good or evil, he decided on the good. (But not before convincing an Irish cousin to swim in the Hudson River.) He has learned a lot by making very questionable decisions and loves sharing those learnings with anyone interested in listening. This podcast is just one component of what he always wished to build. More information is available on www.jimfrawley.com.
