Jim Goldstein

Dr. Jim Goldstein spent four years as a college professor and 14 years as a clinical psychologist in private practice. After working with hundreds of individuals, couples, and families, he realized that certain patterns of communication interfered with the development and maintenance of healthy relationships.

In response to the need for clear, concise, communication, he developed a process which allows people to speak truthfully without causing defensiveness or hurt feelings. He teaches this process in an 8-week teleseminar for couples called Powerful Partnerships®. He found that Powerful Partnerships has a transforming effect on relationships regardless of how long people have felt stuck or unhappy. The program not only improves how couples and families function, but also has a major impact on leadership, teamwork and productivity in business.

Since 1993, he has been an executive coach to CEO’s and management teams of national corporations and top government managers helping them to enhance their experience of power, freedom and peace of mind while increasing productivity.

In 2003 Dr. Goldstein was trained by Acura of North America in Continuous Improvement Management. Based on the principles espoused by Dr. W. Edwards Deming and embraced by Japanese manufacturers, he learned to apply these principles to every process that touched customers in the dealership. Sales, Service and Parts departments began to make incremental improvements in all of their processes. Soon he was able to apply these same principles to other businesses and was successful at improving productivity and customer satisfaction in medical practices and in the construction/remodeling industry. Combining these methods with his Powerful Partnerships Coaching Program, he has been successful at fostering teamwork, individual responsibility and accountability among workers at every level of these organizations.
