(June 2016) Jim Lindell, CSP, CPA, CGMA was recognized for the 6th time as an Outstanding Discussion Leader for the AICPA. The recognition is for the top instructors that receive the highest evaluations for the preceding continuing education year.
(June 2015) Thorsten Consulting is proud to announce that Jim Lindell has received the CSP designation. The National Speakers Association (NSA), is the leading organization for the professional speaking industry, and confers the Certified Speaking Professional® (CSP) designation.
Established in 1980, the CSP is the speaking profession's international measure of speaking experience and skill. Little more than 12 percent of the speakers worldwide hold this professional designation.
The CSP designation is conferred by NSA on accomplished professional speakers who have earned it by meeting strict criteria. CSPs must document a proven track record of continuing speaking experience and expertise, as well as a commitment to ongoing education, outstanding client service, and ethical behavior.
"The Certified Speaking Professional® (CSP) is the highest designation that can be earned by a member of the National Speakers Association or another association of the Global Speakers Federation, says 2014-2015 NSA President Shep Hyken, CSP, CPAE. “CSP is earned as a result of experience, education and competency in the speaking industry, which also includes input from clients and a CSP Review Panel process. When clients hire a professional speaker who has earned the CSP designation, they can be assured the speaker brings to the table a high level of experience and professionalism.

Ethics - A Line in the SandEthics joke about the Butcher, the Old Lady and the Chicken - presented at MNCPA Business and Advisors Conference June 2012 Video

Ethical lapses continue at astounding rates in all aspects of daily lives. Ethics are lacking in political discussions, media reporting, religious organizations, use of electronic devices, etc. It is imperative that ethical behavior becomes the norm as opposed to the exceptions. A lack of ethics throughout our everyday lives will only perpetuate the negative atmosphere that is so prevalent. If you organization needs ethics training, invite Jim to discuss practical examples of ethics violations and practical application of ethics processes.

Do executives need executive coaching?
Consider how our business models take a divergent path in contrast to professional football teams (which by the way are business models and are driven by the same goals of achievement and excellence.)
Pro football players have multiple coaches. In addition, they practice the entire week and then play (perform) 3 hours in the game. In work settings, employees "play" 40 hours per week and rarely are given the opportunity to practice (receive training).
Would you like to experience an executive coaching session? Call Jim for a complimentary session to see if executive coaching is for you. If you run your own business or are responsible for a business operation, VISTAGE/TEC is an excellent resource. VISTAGE/TEC helps executives make better leaders, decisions and results. Call Jim to attend a Vistage meeting and receive a complimentary executive coaching session to see how VISTAGE can help you make it to the next level.
