I'm Jim, and I'm a lawyer.

But I don't write about legal topics.

I write about leadership and personal growth.

Why learn from me?

I bring an expertise you won’t find anywhere else online.

Besides leading teams in multiple law firms for years...

And starting two law practices from scratch...

In 2017 I branched out … I co-founded a telehealth website where we helped people overcome excess drinking through medication-assisted treatment and personal development coaching.

What’s the link to lawyering?

As a lawyer, I defend against injury cases that require a deep understanding of medicine and psychology. 

I’ve deposed over 300 doctors and mental health providers, diving into medical and psychological concepts at their level.

I transferred that skill set, along with years of solving problems for clients, into the wellness and personal growth space.

I applied my analytical skills, the same I use to dissect real-world, complex legal cases, to pick apart the science behind personal development.

I crafted not just medical solutions (through the doctors we contracted with) but also systemized, actionable, personal growth training for our patients.

And we didn’t just aim to restore patients to an average level of health...

We transformed their lives through growth-focused skills ⚡

Here are a few testimonials we received from patients that went through our program:

✅ “This program didn’t just change my habits - it gave me the confidence and clarity to control my life in ways I never thought possible."

✅ “Your support and coaching is invaluable. I’m so lucky to have you and Alcure. It has helped immensely.”

✅ “I especially wanted you to know that your videos alone were worth the first month. You do great work!”

✅ "Loved your videos on Life Hacks, Minimalism, and Gratitude.”

✅ “My future looks so much brighter! Thank you. I was skeptical, but now I’m proof that this approach works. I can’t wait to see where I go from here.”

After helping 400+ people (many during the pandemic) and generating over $500,000 in revenue, we wrapped up the project in 2023.

Now I’m onto new ventures.

Some more about me:

✅ Made over $500,000 in revenue with a telehealth website while maintaining a full-time law practice

✅ Thomson Reuters ranked Super Lawyer (2012-2025), top 5% in Southern California

Learn to lead yourself.
Learn to lead others.

James Kamanski

Everyone has a timeline in their head.
Most of that pressure comes from comparing your path to someone else’s.

But life does not unfold on a schedule.
Growth shows up at its own pace.

You can be:
+ lost at 22
+ broke at 28
+ unsure at 31
+ starting over at 35
+ finally rising at 38
+ finding your purpose at 42
and unstoppable at 47.

None of that means you failed.
It means you’re still becoming the person you’re supposed to be.

Progress is not linear.
Purpose takes time.
And greatness grows quietly before anyone else notices it.

✅ Trust your pace.
✅ Trust your path.
✅ You are not behind.

You’re building something worth waiting for.

Retention is cheaper than replacement.
Every time.

Hiring feels expensive.
But replacing great people costs far more.

Here’s what replacement actually includes ↓

→ Lost knowledge and context
→ Months of reduced productivity
→ Hiring fees and onboarding time
→ Team morale taking a hit
→ Leaders stretched thin filling gaps

Most exits do not happen because of money alone.
They happen because people feel unseen, unsupported, or exhausted.

Treating people well is not a perk.
It is a strategy.

✅ Fair pay.
✅ Respect.
✅ Room to grow.
✅ Clear expectations.

Do that consistently and your best people stop looking elsewhere.

The cheapest talent decision you can make is keeping the people who already believe in the work.

The most underrated career skill?
Taking tough love without taking it personally.

Knowledge is everywhere.
Feedback is rare.

Because once people realize you can’t handle the truth,
they stop telling you the truth.

That’s when growth stops.

The people who rise the fastest aren’t the ones who know it all:
They’re the ones who can hear hard things and use them well.

They ask instead of defend.
They listen instead of react.
They improve instead of argue.

If you want to grow fast, don’t chase praise.
Seek honesty - even when it stings.

That’s where real development begins.

---
I have a vision. And a strong belief.

My belief? People are the heart of every thriving organization. When you invest in your people, your business grows, your culture strengthens, and your impact multiplies.

I help organizations build stronger, more effective professionals and leaders through powerful workshops, seminars, and keynote speeches designed to inspire action, drive growth, and create lasting transformation.

The Reality?
Many companies struggle with disengaged employees, ineffective leadership, and a lack of mentorship that hinders both individual and organizational success.

But leadership is a skill, not a title. And with the right tools, mindset, and strategies, your team can achieve more than they ever imagined.

Why Me?
I’ve lived and worked in 7 cities across 4 countries, experiencing firsthand the power of strong leadership.

I hold an MBA from EAE Business School in Spain and a Postgraduate degree in Management from Canada. My professional journey of 15+ years, includes Directing a Mentorship Program for a top Canadian bank with over 90,000 employees, shaping future leaders through strategic coaching and development.

And I’ve been personally trained and certified by John Maxwell and his faculty, the world’s #1 leadership experts.

How I Help:
I deliver customized training and coaching solutions that go beyond theory, providing real, actionable strategies that drive immediate results in Leadership, Mentorship, and Personal Development.

"Comunica y Conecta para Destacar:
Estrategias Poderosas para Profesionales en Project Management"
 
¿Qué te va a impulsar a destacar y avanzar en tu carrera en Project Management?

No es tener más certificaciones,
ni más años de experiencia.
Ni siquiera graduarte de la mejor universidad.
Lo que realmente te impulsa a destacar y avanzar
es cómo te comunicas y cómo conectas con la gente.

Si observas atentamente a líderes
y profesionales exitosos a quienes tú admiras,
verás que su forma de comunicarse y conectar con los demás
es uno de sus mayores secretos para destacar.

Y en este webinar virtual y GRATUITO organizado por el PMI,
tú aprenderás a hacer de eso uno de tus secretos también.

Saldrás con:
1. Herramientas prácticas para comunicarte con claridad e impacto.
2. Estrategias para conectar mejor con stakeholders, equipos y líderes.
3. Tu propio elevator pitch y una fórmula poderosa para conectar en tus interacciones.
 
Todo esto te ayudará a destacar en tu carrera en Project Management y a construir la base que necesitas para llegar lejos… tan lejos como anhelas y mereces llegar.
 
¿De quién aprenderás en este webinar?
Nuestra speaker es Gabriela Gutierrez, MBA, PMP®, una líder latina–canadiense radicada en Estados Unidos, reconocida en julio de 2025 como la Top 6 Project Management Creator en LinkedIn Estados Unidos.

Lo que más aprecian sus audiencias y lo que anticipamos que tú también apreciarás es que Gabriela no solo domina profundamente los temas que enseña, sino que aprender con ella es una experiencia amena, inspiradora y llena de herramientas tangibles que puedes aplicar de inmediato.

Su forma de comunicar y conectar la ha llevado lejos en su trayectoria.

Success can be built in many different ways.
And 2025 has proven that to me.


Throughout this year, I’ve been working toward 3 big goals.
And I feel so blessed, so proud to share that I accomplished them.

What’s interesting is this:
There was no single “success formula” that worked for all 3.

One goal came by doing the ordinary things extraordinarily.
This one was about consistency and a focus on quality.

Another required overcoming challenge after challenge
for 9 long months.
This one was about resilience and perseverance.

And the third was all about great planning… and a ton of prayer.
It happened smoothly…and earlier than I imagined.
A blessing from above.

As you work toward something meaningful
in your personal or professional life
keep this close:

There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for success.
There’s simply a human being (that’s you!)
showing up, adapting, and moving forward.

Success doesn’t follow one recipe.
Define what matters.
Do the work your way.
Stay open to the blessings on the journey.

Build your success
the way only you can!

💭Are you building your success?
