I don't usually write negative reviews but I think people should be warned about James Malinchak. I attended a public speaking seminar/boot camp. I got roped into buying a package that included a phone call with him and a day of brainstorming at his mansion. The phone call with him was so upsetting I was left in tears. He was rude and dismissive and rather than answering any of my questions he tried to upsell his coaching programs... so in other words if I wanted to get the answers to my questions, I had to spend thousands of dollars on his coaching program. This phone call was worthless. I knew then that I had been taken to the cleaners. After the phone call, I ended any business relationship with James Malinchak. I guess I was lucky I didn't go to the mansion... I later found out the attendees spend the entire day in the sparse desert home, listening to other attendees (not "the expert" Malinchak) without even a glass of water!
I write negative reviews all of the time and I have nothing but good things to say about James. I definitely get a sense that you get what you give with James and if you do not take the interactions with him seriously from the start, then you might have an issue. Were you on time--ready to participate--considerate of his time and expertise? James has studies a great deal and definitely has wonderful practical wisdom to share. I think the many positive reviews speak to that!
Actually, not true. I spent 2 days at James' mansion with seven other people. He poured into us powerful principles of how to evaluate business decisions, how to write your own book, how to get speaking engagements, etc. And he gave us not only water, but wonderful lunches at no extra charge. This two day conference was a free bonus that he offered when I signed up for his speaking program. The speaking program was practical, this 2 day seminar was phenomenal.

It is my core belief that if one wants to have more, one has to become more. My life, personally and professionally, has never been the same since I started acting on this belief. My life, personally and professionally, has not been the same since I started working with James Malinchak. James is truly one the very best trainers for speakers, authors and entrepreneurs. Not only does James care about your business, he cares about your life. Because of coaching with James, our business doubled in two years and will grow FIVE times in the next two years. All while having more freedom. Working with James Malinchak is an absolute NO BRAINER but only if you are ready to take action.

Every once in a while you come across someone who is truly an expert in their field. And if you are lucky, you get a chance to work with them. This was the case with James. I considered the investment I made to work with him for two years as one of the best business decisions I have ever made. In the time working with him, I attended 7 of his trainings, amongst other meetings/gatherings. Each time I walked away with more information I could immediately implement into my business. My reputation is very important to me, so it takes a lot for me to recommend someone. In my time being coached by James I referred over 40 people to his trainings and 8 colleagues became coaching clients of his. James is the real deal!

I have had the good fortune of knowing and working with James for many years now. As a student and client, his content, advice and masterful teachings were paramount in guiding me toward a successful career. When I produced my own multi-speaker event, which included many of the most respected names in the personal and business development industry, I knew James had to be included. The attendees were overwhelmingly impressed by his knowledge and business acumen. I highly recommend working with James if you want to take your career and company to new heights

James is the real deal in every sense of the word. I first met James while attending his "Big Money Speaker Bootcamp" in 2015 and was blown away by the overwhelming quantity of non-stop CONTENT that was provided. Before I even left the event, I was implementing ideas for my speaking business. I then attended his "College Speaking Bootcamp" in 2016 and had the honor of being an author in his book, "Reach Your Greatness." I've since be back to "Big Money Speaker" and attended a Mastermind in his home and am looking forward to another one very soon. The more time you spend learning from James, the more time you want to spend learning from James! He knows marketing - speaking - authoring - business - and more ... as well as how to be successful while remaining authentic! I urge you to attend one of his events - you will be hooked and want more!

James Malinchak is ONE of a kind and the best in the business! I heard about James Bootcamps in November of 2009. December of 2009 I experienced the good fortune of attending his Bootcamp and January of 2010 I was @ James beautiful home for my 1st life changing 1 on 1 Coaching Session! James taught me how to jump start my Coaching and Speaking Practice! He gave me the recipe for SUCCESS, all I had to do was EXECUTE and be patient! During our time together he continues to Lead and Challenge me to be at my very best! James is the Guru of Marketing and he is an open book. Speaking of books... another AHA moment; my bucket list included writing a book, like so many others I would start and stop, but never get close to completion. James and I discussed this at our first session and 5 months later, I was an author and today that book resides on Amazon as a #1 International Best-Seller with 1, 000s being sold! In-fact, I have 2 books and my 3rd is 70% complete! James showed me HOW to get it DONE and as important held me ACCOUNTABLE! The presenters, celebrities, content, networking opportunities from all walks of life around the world are worth every penny during his Bootcamps, but the benefit of a relationship with James is PRICELESS! Reinvent yourself, experience goal attainment and take the opportunity to GROW with James LEADERSHIP if offered!

I have worked with several speaker coaches prior to James with disappointing results, but after spending just one afternoon of personal coaching with James I am convinced that James Malinchak is the REAL DEAL. He listens, then goes to work and the RESULTS for me will be over the top. The old adage "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" applies here. I'm so grateful that I was smart enough to invest in myself and hire the BEST! If you're not sure what you should do, call me. I will gladly share with you my story and if you're ready, direct you to the best speaker and marketing coach on the planet!

Really...I don't make many recommendations. So take this seriously! Yes, Jame's speaker training is exceptional. Beyond that, though, he has a rare ability to cut through the clutter and uncover the highest and best marketing strategy in any situation. James is an invaluable resource for me. Unless you want to stand still or go backward, he should be for you too.

I hired James in 2014 to help me grow my speaking business. I was making roughly $250 per presentation before I started working with him. James' brilliant marketing mind, and the support I get with being in his mastermind, has helped me create the necessary components in my business to command up to $8, 000 per presentation. I continue to work with James because with him, the sky is the limit!
