TESTIMONIALS
Jim's presentation of his GAMER mentality serves as a reminder of how the right mindset can change the world.
Neither his loss of sight or hearing has kept him from being one of the best educators I have ever encountered in my 22 years in public education. Everybody needs to hear his message and understand his story.
He is an inspiration to me and to everybody that he touches.
Paul Defendini - New York
Thank you again for presenting to the North Shore Service Group, I very much enjoyed it, and I know the other members did as well.
I found you to be dynamic, engaging, and relatable. Yes, relatable. Everyone experiences obstacles and difficulties in life, and they do their best to either avoid them or overcome them. Rarely are such hardships ever viewed as an opportunity to test one’s resolve – but they should be. The way you recount the pivotal moments of your life, your initial reaction to them, and then your journey forward is inspirational. Your perpetual drive forward despite adversity is something everyone wishes they had within them. The fact that you couple that drive with being grateful for that which you have, rather than being bitter about something you don’t is a powerful message and a perspective shift from which many could benefit.

I had the privilege of having Jim Hughes speak at our National Sales Event for two of Altimus's Capital's Portfolio business, Navigate Power and Verde Solutions. Jim addressed our entire development team and staff from across the country. His presentation was nothing short of transformational. Jim’s message about perspective, perseverance, and maximizing life’s potential regardless of circumstances resonated deeply with everyone in the room. His own journey, overcoming the challenges of blindness and hearing loss, is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit and the incredible possibilities that come when you refuse to let adversity define you.
Jim’s ability to connect with people, particularly our younger team members, was inspiring. He shared how life is about embracing perspective, committing to follow-through, and choosing to find love, joy, and accomplishment even when the outlook may appear bleak to others. His stories of personal triumph, infused with humor and genuine wisdom, sparked a newfound sense of motivation in our team. Several employees reached out to me afterward, sharing how deeply they were impacted by his words.
I wholeheartedly recommend Jim Hughes to any organization seeking a spark to motivate, inspire, and empower their teams. His message is universal and deeply impactful, but it’s especially effective for those who may feel uncertain or overwhelmed by challenges, whether personal or professional. Jim’s teaching will undoubtedly help unlock their potential and change their outlook on life and work.
At Altimus Capital, we are already planning to host Jim again for both our regional and annual events. His message and delivery are exceptional, and I am confident that any organization lucky enough to engage with him will come away stronger, more resilient, and ready to take on the world.
