Meet James

Many leaders find themselves continually in new territory—navigating larger more complex roles, in more dynamic and turbulent environments, responding to change and disruption. These leaders, as well as those who have been at their jobs for a few years, know how tough it is to get traction and deliver results over time.

I formed James Papiano + Co. to help leaders and managers navigate new territory — for themselves and their teams. We take a holistic view of you and a systems perspective on your team, department, unit, and organization.

We work with leaders in organizations large and small, across professional services, academic medicine, and nonprofits. We have experience in a range of industries including energy, communications, academia, pharmaceuticals, medical research, clinical environments, technology, architecture and engineering, financial services, consumer goods, and hospitality.

Whether it is coaching, consulting, development programs, or meeting design and facilitation– you can expect from us high levels of collaboration, contribution, and communication.

We will be focused on meeting you where you are and bringing a JP+Co. team who can best contribute to your goals, advance on your priorities, and accelerate your personal, professional, and organizational progress.

If you, or leaders you know, are facing challenges of getting traction, sustaining results, or venturing into new territory, let’s talk.
