Laura Smith
It has been my pleasure having James as my Team Leader, he has been a role model for me since he started with NSW Ambulance. His can do attitude, productivity and efficiency is contagious. He is a quick learner and has shown the ability to digest large volumes of information and is continuously thinking of ideas to make tasks more efficient. His interpersonal and communication skills have allowed him to develop productive working relationships with his staff, I am confident that he will establish productive working relationships no matter where he is working and no matter what role he is doing. James has made me feel extremely comfortable approaching him since his first day, resulting in us forming a close working relationship. When you have a great Team Leader, it makes you want to work at your best capacity and James does exactly that. He makes me want to achieve anything and everything I can. It is very refreshing to have a Team Leader that takes the time to listen to their staff. I couldn’t ask for a better Team Leader, he goes above and beyond for his team. I would certainly recommend him without reservation.

Ridiculously efficient’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about James. I was particularly impressed by James’ ability to handle even the toughest financial problems that ACAP faced. James' ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before and made a dramatic increase in the productivity level of ACAP. No matter how tense a task, James made sure that all tasks were done with integrity. As a professional work colleague and friend, James earns my highest recommendation.

Life, Story and a Smile is a collection of poems, short stories and anecdotes which explores the ups and downs of life, a story that is designed to challenge how a person views all forms of emotional experiences in their life. A book which will help you realise your own sense of worth via an unorthodox yet respectful perspective of real issues you will discover in your life This book was designed to help both the ones who want a reminder that they are never alone in the fight against the world and a message to the world that every person is different regardless of how they look or act. Your own individual actions dictate an impression not your looks because you will be remembered by how you impacted others beyond your aesthetical beauty. From the beginning of the day to the last hour of the day, this book will cover your curiosity and challenge what you consider normal in your life and view situations from another’s perspective. This book will cover perspectives such as love, personal growth and hardship. https://www.amazon.com/Story-Smile-James-Ronald-Perram/dp/0648099830 https://www.facebook.com/lifestorysmile/ Over 20k fans Show less
