Master iMA Practitioner - James Knight
These are exciting, challenging and turbulent times. Everyone is looking for a competitive edge, a way to Win!
Your success, happiness, effectiveness and future are dependent upon your ability to communicate effectively and connect with others. Connectivity is a fundamental life skill, and up until now, little or no training has been available.
I have spent over 25 years researching, testing, applying and teaching a universal language called iMA that can help you connect with people at every level of your life.
iMA is a simple way of observing and understanding the differences in people and communicating with them on their wavelength.
Thousands of people are benefiting from speaking and understanding iMA, and chances are, you will to!

Jim Craig
Jim Craig has a wide range of experience gained through a career in information technology. This has involved roles in; technical pre-sales, marketing, knowledge management, people and organisational development and corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Jim has worked for some of the smallest and largest businesses in the world, from being a business owner himself, through to the IBM Corporation.
Author of "5 steps to profit from corporate social responsibility" a guide aimed to help business owners and executives, grow their business, by being a better business.
Jim is passionate advocate of helping people develop, and realise their true potential, recognising that it's not organisations that change, it's the people within them that do. Increasingly people are looking to own, run, or work for responsible organisations. Ones that aim to tread lightly on the earth, and act in a socially just manner.
Steve Downing, Associate Professor of Strategy, Director of the Henley Centre for Sustainable Enterprise, had this to say "I have been very pleased to have Jim Craig support the delivery of a Responsible Leadership programme for a British global technology firm. Jim has presented his experience of developing sustainability at Sun and Oracle very effectively showing a great combination of practical insight and up to date knowledge of resources, networks and theory. On the same programme he has also worked with a group of senior executives, listening to proposals for new initiatives, giving them supportive feedback and serving as part of a panel of experts taking Q & A in a plenary session. Again Jim came across as credible and helpful. I hope to have the opportunity to draw on Jim's support in future leadership and change development programmes".
One of the most important aspects of his work is in helping business owners, executives and employees communicate better, especially, but not limited too, corporate social responsibility. Jim is proud, and excited to be one of the early practitioners of iMA, and can see great potential for its use.

“Your brand is human. Love it. Nurture it. Let it breathe. Treat it like your soul mate. Quite simply - it’s your greatest business asset.”
Created and built by human energy into an energy source of its own, with its own heart and pulse, your brand is driven by passions and purpose and guided by values to which it gives a voice. It can start and influence global conversations. It can create, lead and participate in communities and tribes, build strong teams, leave behind (digital) footprints. It could do all of this whilst ‘making a difference for good’ in our world.
Trouble is, just like humans, brands can lose their way - or fall at the first hurdle - or not even get off the starting block. No ‘mojo’.
Focus, guidance, motivation, teaching, coaxing, applauding, rewarding... it responds well and flourishes with all this kind of attention. It deserves it. After all, your brand is what connects your business emotionally with your customers and influences their buying decisions. At every touch point your brand is giving off signals - words, tone, visual clues, consistency, authenticity, congruency. Your customers are picking up on these and talking about you through the power of social media and impacting on your credibility and reputation. So before your brand reaches a crisis point and needs CPR, perhaps a small preventative check up may be in order. A Brand Pulse Check.
I am a Brand and Story Specialist and Founder and Editor of iMojo - Brilliant Brands begin with you! In my former life I have created and run a successful Marketing & Design Agency for 25 years. Today I focus on my experience and skill set that gives me the greatest buzz and delivers my own passion and purpose - helping other entrepreneurs to ignite their brilliance in a digital world.
Combined with the art and power of storytelling, I use iMA in my 1-1 coaching and workshops. Mostly, I teach the iMA to business teams so they can quickly and easily learn to communicate more effectively with each other and to deliver the brand message and brilliance of the company accurately and with impact to the outside world.

A Coach is someone who helps someone else (a trainee) learn something that he or she would have learned less well, more slowly or not at all if left alone. (Chip R. Bell)
Having brought BNI to the Netherlands in 2002 and as the founder of “The Master Networker Institute” in 2008 , Jos is an internationally acclaimed networking development trainer. He is the co writer of multiple training courses aimed at improving networking results and is the author of the dutch language blog about Word of Mouth Marketing. In 2010 he was awarded the European title Senior Marketing Professional (SMP).
He aims to improve results in networking and through the structuring of word of mouth marketing programs, give people the tools to maximise their own personal productivity and effectiveness.
He has lived and worked in Peru, Venezuela, Texas, Spain, Austria Switzerland and the former east bloc Czech republic, working in a variety of management roles.
On iMA he says “I vehemently oppose the saying: Treat people the way you want to be treated yourself. As a manager and a networker I learned that I myself and everybody else in the world, we just want to be treated in the way we want to be treated, right within our comfort zones. The challenge , as a person, a manager or networker, is how to find out, how the other person wants to be treated and what are their comfort zones. I am so glad that James created the iMA program and I am happy to get the opportunity to introduce iMA into the Netherlands”

Sue Firth
Sue Firth is a Business Psychologist, Stress Expert, Behaviour Analyst & Author and is a specialist in helping CEOs and senior executives manage stress, from an individual and group perspective. She is an international speaker & presenter and holds both a Batchelor of Science and a Masters Degree. She is a member of the British Psychological Society, The International Stress Management Association (ISMA), and The Health Professions Council. Sue regularly appears in the media and has been a guest/expert on ITV This Morning and BBC Panorama.
Sue aims to make a difference to the way people think and to teach them how to moderate their own habits and attitudes in order to reduce any difficulties they have, whilst still maintaining their effectiveness. With extensive experience in consulting at strategic level for both the management of change and the implementation of stress programmes to support employees, she is well placed to offer insight as to how organisations can help their people handle life better in changing circumstances. Used to presenting Keynotes, half day and full day workshops, she regularly travels to the U.S. to speak as well as frequently working with medium to large corporate organisations, so that they can have an enhanced understanding of the best way to implement changes and shifts in structure or processes whilst still being aware of what people need. Her second site www.suefirth1on1.com describes her work with private clients whom she sees on a personal basis for consultations and confidential support.
Her work includes encouraging and enabling better communication between men and women and supporting the discovery of different approaches to working well together both in personal relationships and in a professional environment. She favours the IMA programme because it is a pragmatic tool that explains behaviour, personal communication style, and the relationship to our stress type. We all revert to certain behaviours when under stress and this can be the downsides of our predominant working style or uses the elements of another IMA style altogether. It vastly enhances a person’s understanding of what is happening to them when they can simply and pragmatically understand how they are feeling, and how to play to their strengths whilst combating their stress.
She works with a number of high profile corporate clients including Legal & General Assurance, The Academy for Chief Executives, Vistage International, Sun Microsystems, Scottish Enterprise Network and Aerosystems International. She has a practice in Surrey and a venue in Harley Street, central London.

Marie Fraser - Personal Success Mentor
I am a Personal Success Mentor with one mission – to inspire YOU to say ‘THIS IS ME!'
Our personal growth comes from within and not from fitting others expectations, but our rollercoaster lives, the many hats we wear, the diverse roles we play in personal and business life means more often than not, our sense of self takes a back seat.
Embracing your own individuality is key to living the life you deserve. My passion and purpose as an individual is to inspire you to celebrate and respect the very special qualities, abilities and experiences that make you unique.
My 20 years HR experience in international law firms across Europe and the USA has given me unique experience and insight into how individuals communicate – (or don’t as the case may be!) and the impact that has on self confidence, personal growth and the general happiness levels in corporate cultures.
Today, I deliver bespoke, interactive mentoring programmes centred on communication, both verbal and visual, to solo flyers, entrepreneurs, teams and team players, business and community leaders using iMA. The fact that this programme is so easy and quick to learn means individuals see instant results for themselves that help escalate self confidence and personal growth within my programmes.

Carole Gallant
“Education is not the piling on of learning, information, data, facts, skills, or abilities - that's training or instruction - but is rather making visible what is hidden as a seed.” Sir Thomas More
My name is Carole Gallant and I am the founder of create a future, an education company whose mission is to enable people of all ages to maximise their potential and live richer, fuller lives. We do this by helping people develop the skills and behaviours they need to in order to thrive in the digital age.
I gained my Bachelor of Education degree and qualified as a Science Teacher, but started my career working with the United Nations in Vienna as a scientist and statistician. Since then I have worked for over 25 years in education, developing my personal interest in why and how people learn and the factors that influence success in education.
I founded create a future in 2001 as a vehicle through which the courses and programmes that we developed could be delivered to a wider range of people. We have developed the UK's first academic skills coaching course (In SHAPE) within which we use a range of profiling systems to help students understand their personal learning and thinking styles.
Since 2001, we have worked with just over 600,000 students and in any one year engage with around 400 schools providing workshops, award schemes, clubs and one-to-one coaching/training.
A great deal of our work is with teens who particularly struggle with communications, which initially attracted me to iMA.
I became an iMA Practitioner, because I recognise the value that iMA offers as a fast simple and systematic way of identifying a students’ learning style. iMA will help us in our work in helping students “learn to learn” and be successful.
In addition to helping facilitate the learning process, iMA also strengthens relationships between teachers and students, provides self understanding to support more effective teaching and learning, boosts moral, and enhances co-operation.

Tanya Awad Ghorra
I come from a media background, with an MBA in journalism (Paris II ). I was a reporter for years, for several TV stations, terrestrial and satellite in Lebanon, and the Middle-East, covering stories of war, people, politics, entertainment, social... , from live coverage under bombshells to TV shows concept development.
In 22 years, I wandered through all departments and fields related to radio and TV. From animation on FM, to live coverage, TV game shows, news gathering and producing, managing reporters and news coverage, TV production, research, editing...
I’ve learned about almost every department in this field, and worked myself in many of them. I have an extensive experience in advertising since I work as a voice over talent and a copywriter too. Translation became also a part of my work since I speak and write in Arabic, French and English.
Through these years, I’ve learned the importance, the tricks and the traps of communication.
My humble experience in my country Lebanon and in the Arab world, made me realize how little we know about communication. Mass communication might be the 21st century essential tool, still, communicating with others is lacking more than ever.
Being an activist in my country, put me few years ago on the path of a new non-violent university (AUNOHR), where I was lucky enough to be among the 73 first professionals in the MENA region, to get an MBA in the major I chose: Non-Violent Education and Conflict resolution.
Quickly, I found myself shifting towards this new field, and with my background, I found what I was looking for in NVC (Non-Violent Communication). I became a trainer, and shared my experience and knowledge with many. I worked with children in school, with young activists, with international activists in peace building.
Conflict resolution, mediation, peace building...it all need good communication skills, we are the only speaking conscious creatures, why not make a good use of what we have? We often speak, and rarely communicate, especially when needed.
Through iMA High, I discovered the importance of colors in order to better know the person we want to deal with. It is a simple yet effective way to better understand each others and resolve our conflicts in a peaceful way.
In NVC we try to build bridges, and iMA High goes the same way. It’s all about empathy, compassion, better understanding... simple natural tools we have but for some reason don’t use as often as we should.
iMA High is a peace tool, to a better communication, and for conflict resolution. If we know what color are the others, we understand them better, we know what they expect, how they expect, what stresses them, what are their needs.
In NVC, we work to become good observers, good listeners, with empathy, in other words, NVC and iMA go together if we want to build a peaceful environment to live in, be it work, home, with colleagues, friends, family, or opponents.

I am proud of being an accredited executive coach, hugely experienced in the Project profession, deeply immersed in the latest thinking on NeuroScience and all the advantages it can bring to people, teams and organisations. Comfortable working with complexity and theory I am known for the passion and belief I bring to developing peoples’ ability to accelerate their performance and achieve the best they are capable of. I do my best to approach everyone with the sentiment that I hold as my guiding principle “I’ve never met anyone who wants to do a bad job”.
Constantly looking for how to help organisations and teams engage their people and increase performance, my objective is to support people to feel connected and consequently be more successful. I have found over many years of working in this field that so many processes offer great insights only to disappoint, precisely because they are overly complex and never get translated into action. Approaching iMA with scepticism and asking if it is not too simple, I have been delighted to see how the simplicity encourages people to adopt the thinking, adapt the way they are behaving, invite others to join them and feel more in control of not just their work but their lives.
In a hugely enjoyable and successful career I have managed many large projects and programmes in the IT industry and led the Community of Practise for project and programme managers in Syntegra. I am now delighted to be working with a Project Consortium of specialist consultancies and industry expert project professionals who are asking the question, “Is your Organisation fit for your projects?”. We can see how iMA fits in providing a fast, effective, proven mechanism for engaging everyone in a team. Since engaged people are the greatest indicator of project success we have become strong supporters. This consortium is now working with Kingston University to create a brand new MSc in “Organisational Project Management”.
Frequently asked to write articles and give presentations, I recently received feedback from an event for Fujitsu that “she really has a good grasp on the unique leadership challenges in the Project and Programme Management space and can offer much more than your average leadership guru”.
I work closely with Prof Paul Brown on a number of initiatives designed to find ways to utilise the latest NeuroScience for the benefit of leaders. James Knight and I are excited about the number of opportunities we can see to utilise my experience of this field to develop further this fascinatingly useful language of iMA.
Current/recent clients include CEO’s, Directors, Vice Presidents, Senior Managers, Project Leaders and various teams in such organisations as APM, BT, Communisis, Composite, County Council, CSA, ENRC, Merrill Lynch, Network Rail, PA, NHS, Visa.

My work results in happier people and more profitable businesses.
People really are the lifeblood of your organisation and the key to your success.
Are you or your organisation striving for improved employee and management communication, team effectiveness, engagement with staff, volunteers and customers, retention of good people and more profitability?
The vital ingredient is connectivity. Connectivity means connecting with mutual liking, understanding, trust and respect. Connectivity is a vital life, business and social skill and until now one we have little if any training in.
I am an iMA Colour Styles Practitioner - iMA is the brilliant new language of connectivity and it's based on proven psychological principles. I can teach you to use iMA and seamlessly integrate it into your organisation; helping individuals and teams to really connect. Groups become teams and teams become high performance teams.
When people and teams connect well cooperation, understanding, communication, trust, collaboration, engagement and profits go up. Stress and tension go down. People focus on valuing and utilising differences between people rather than ignoring or misunderstanding them.
That's how my work results in happier people and more profitable businesses.
We all on a journey and we all get stuck now and again. Together we will creatively work to enable you to achieve all you want from life in terms of connectivity, communication and change.
Get in touch today and see how I can be of service to you and/or your organisation.

Having sold her companies and being in partnership with Jayne Albiston at International Tradelink brings her into contact with many clients of various cultures and Bronwyn understands explicitly and appreciates that because the iMA program is universal it therefore will assist their many clients globally.
Bronwyn is also a co-director for BoB Clubs NZ Limited. This is a business over breakfast club from the UK specifically tailored to business owners/top management staff who recognise the value of a bi-weekly breakfast meeting to encourage and share business matters/ideas and also refer fellow BoB Club members company’s products and services.
Along with being a director in International Tradelink, Bronwyn is a business mentor and is excited about now being an accredited iMA practitioner.
“I see such value in being able to offer our clients this wonderful program. For me personally it will assist us to help our clients get where they want to go at a faster pace therefore alleviating added stress at what should be an exciting time.”
Bronwyn is also a participator in large community ventures and brings her mentoring and entrepreneur skills to boards for the benefit of growth to the proposed project at hand.

About TBC
TBC is a small, independent, management consultancy with significant working knowledge and experience of the European, North African, Middle Eastern and Southern Asian markets.
Our consultants combine many years experience of business development, product development, strategic planning, technical consulting, business leadership, and management development within the food and drink sector to offer a comprehensive portfolio of configurable strategic consulting, coaching, technical and business development services. We are delighted to be able to add iMA to this list.
TBC assists business leaders, technical managers, and staff to rise above the rest; encouraging innovative ‘blue-sky’ creativity to business and technical strategy development, whilst offering practical, cost-effective, help to put all the pieces together which is where iMA now comes in.
In today’s competitive world innovation is the lifeblood of the enterprise. The ability to continuously innovate, manage complex brand portfolios, and deliver high performing products to customers and consumers also requires excellence in operations. Effective product commercialisation becomes key to guarantee expected return on investment. However, for some, more mature successful organisations excellence in product innovation and commercialisation alone may not be enough. The question then becomes one of renewal—what needs to be done to stay ahead.
TBC offers practical, pragmatic, business-oriented help providing client-configurable services in three key areas: Strategic Planning and Conceptualisation; Coaching and Development; and Commercialisation.

Steve Thomson
Steve Thomson is founder and project director of Profile Training, which provides custom training, coaching and mentoring for businesses and individuals worldwide.
“With a background as a live event, and radio presenter it's natural that my focus when I turned to training in the mid 1990s was on presentation skills, and that remains at the core of my business today.
I feel strongly that we are all engaged in making presentations all the time and in all possible circumstances, so of course it's vital that we become the best presenters we can be in order to achieve our personal and business goals.
I use and teach the language of iMA extensively within my workshops, as it offers an invaluable insight into the style and mood of communication that will best achieve the goals we set for ourselves when speaking with or to others.
I'm also very excited to be able to use iMA within organisations as a means of enhancing interpersonal communication, minimising friction and developing stronger teams.
Over the years I have broadened and continue to broaden my personal experience and learning, and look to share this with clients through individually tailored workshops, seminars and talks.”
