The media consider him a stress expert. The military have called on him to address stress, leadership and motivation. His books and articles appear in 10 languages and he is frequently asked to serve as an expert in legal cases. But ask Jim Quick about his own motivation and he’ll tell you about his grandfather, a gifted professor of pediatrics. “He made a difference in kids’ lives,” says Jim. “I wanted to be just like him.” Jim’s particular calling — behavioral medicine — caught up with him at Harvard Medical School, and his subsequent years with the Air Force only deepened his interest in the characteristics of an emotionally healthy workplace. He has translated this passion and growing expertise into a successful teaching career, equally at home in academia, government offices and businesses of every size and industry. His greatest pleasure is finding and drawing out the potential of his clients. “When I’m making a difference, I’m happy. I know my grandfather would be proud.” He and Debra Nelson are award-winning coauthors.
