Jim has continued to learn even more about people, and now for the last 10 years has been focusing on learning about and speaking on the trait of high sensitivity. Jim is considered an expert on the inherited trait of high sensitivity and even owns the registered trademark “Highly Sensitive People®.”
His popular website www.HighlySensitivePeople.com
explores all the different aspects of the trait of high sensitivity, and the site now averages over 300,000 "hits" every month! Jim receives e-mails daily from all over the world. Now, in addition to his speaking engagements, workshop and many interviews, he coaches people with the trait of high sensitivity and also consults on the topic, working to educate both HSPs and Non-HSPs alike about this very important, but little known, trait and how it impacts their lives; in business, family, and socially.
Jim currently has monthly speaking engagements in both Los Angeles and Orange County on the trait of high sensitivity and Highly Sensitive People, and is booked to speak on cruises to Alaska, Mexico, and the Caribbean. And, because Highly Sensitive People make up 15% to 20% of the population, or 50 million Americans, you can see how even people who aren’t HSP will come into contact with many of them and it benefits everyone, including businesses, other groups, organizations, and individuals, to learn and understand more about this important inherited trait.
