"James T. Harris is fully 'present' whether consulting for an individual, a group or a large organization. He listens deeply and respectfully to their stories while discerning their assumptions and the questions behind their questions. James builds bridges among people of different value systems, ages and socio-economic groups. All with a disarming sense of humor and an uncompromising sense of hope."

"Mr. Harris asserts, 'If you don't play a big enough game, you'll mess up the one you're in just to make it interesting.' That really hit home. And his presentation of seasons of change, the rhyming of history, and the generational differences were a wonderful Ah-hah! for all of us that can be interpreted over and over every day."

"You gave my Philosophy of Ed class an eye-opening presentation on generational teaching and thinking. I just wanted to say how enlightened I was leaving class that night, learning about generations of the past and present, prospects for the future, and the seasons of history. It’s great to go home and actually feel the need to pass on the information to friends, family and coworkers for days afterwards. Thank you so much for the inspiration and the recommended read, ‘The Path.’ It certainly motivated me to want to create my "mission statement" for life!"
