I felt an instant connection with Ron. I had done counseling after the death of my husband but felt I needed to learn to move forward not live in the past
Ron has helped me with mindset, goals, what life looks like now and in the future for me not only as a widow but a strong independent woman.

Ron has been instrumental in helping us through one of the hardest times in our lives. He is kind, compassionate, realistic, no BS, relatable. I prayed for an angel to come into our lives to help us with our daughter and my prayers were answered. More...

Ron was not only my life coach at a time when I really needed one, but, he is a true friend at all times! Ron really understands human nature, and has an amazing ability to get down to the root of problems, and quickly come up with the best solutions. I truly believe God puts people in our path, as we go about our lives, that if we have an open mind, we just might get the help we need when the road is riddled with potholes. Ron L. James is truly one of God's people. No less than 5 stars will do for a review of this man. I highly recommend him as a life coach. He's the best! More...

We found Ron to save our daughter, but it turns out that he saved us. We could not have made the progress we have made without him.
We think the world of Ron, both as a life coach and as a human being.
There’s nothing more important we can say than: he saved our lives.

Working with Ron has been a godsend.
He’s inspired me to state positive affirmations in the mirror every morning, we read and text scriptures to each other everyday.
He’s also inspired me to write my first book, which is still underway, but writing fills me with so much joy!!
I’m so much more happier having him to work with!
Thank you for being so awesome, Ron!!

Ron is an exceptional human being, coach, and friend. He leans on the depth of his wisdom and experiences to breathe life into your spirit. He actively listens to your needs and uses the art of storytelling to help you think about life as a collection of circumstances and choices. He reawakens “the giant within you” by constantly reminding you that the power of change is imbedded within the choices you make. His faith, passion, and positivity are infectious. When you work with Ron, you see results because your well-being is his priority. More...

Ron gave me my dad back. He was there to speak with my dad after my mom’s passing, guiding dad through the darkest possible times when no one else could reach him. Ron helped my dad to find again how life can be beautiful, fun, and interesting. Every once in awhile I will say to dad, or dad will say to me, ‘What would have happened without Ron’? He performed a miracle. We both are so lucky to have crossed paths with the amazing Ron James. Neither of us have met anyone like him. We are both greatly indebted to Ron. More...

Life Coaching/General
It is the hope to help individuals see themselves in a different light. Moving from where they are at to where they would like to be once a person has seen what it is they want, he helps them understand that it is their own inner voice that speaks to them to form their own belief systems that eventually they will follow. This transformation is a process that is well worth it.
