Here I talk to Jim Woodward about his experiences of the Vision for You process. I have known Jim for 24 years. I met him first when my mentor, David Birtwistle, was helping him.

Jim was 24 years old and temporarily homeless in London, England, and had been sectioned just prior to starting this process - he was effectively incarcerated in a mental ward for his own well being. He describes how the Vision for You process gave him faith and happiness and through this stability and a path to a career in business which has taken him to Orange County in southern California, where he now lives.

Some may recognize his name. He was featured in an Appendix in my book The Little Oratory, in which I describe how he implemented traditional principles of harmony and proportion into the layout of his men’s fashion store in Surrey, England. Right at the end of that chapter, published in 2014, I mention how he had hopes for an expansion of his men’s fashion business to the US. This has now come to fruition.

Jim imports Meyer-MMX pants from Germany, which are in demand throughout the US in high-end menswear retailers. If you would like to see them (or maybe even buy a pair for yourself or for the man in your life) you can view their styles here.

As with Peter Murphy, who I spoke to a few weeks ago. Jim is clear that his Catholic faith is the greatest gift of all that this process has given him.
