Dr. James Murray is CEO of Optimal Solutions International, a firm that specializes in helping organizations and their employees reach their full potential. He is a rare breed. He has four degrees including a doctorate, teaches at several Canadian and American universities, is a much sought-after advisor on corporate renewal, has over 25 years experience as a strategic planner, is an author and business columnist, a professor of international law, a labour relations mediator, and the list goes on.

During his eclectic career, Jim built four disparate organizations into success stories, spending an average of eight years on each before moving to new challenges. At every plateau, he redefined how business was done by focusing his intellect and energy squarely on his five principles for success: people, perspective, philosophy, paradox and persuasion.

As educator, transformational thinker and communicator, he has conveyed his views to hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life through his seminars, books and business columns. His courses on Creativity and Innovation, The Art of Negotiating . . .With Anyone, Influencing Difficult People, and Change by Choice have been taught on campuses across North America and in Fortune 500 boardrooms. He has an uncanny ability to motivate people to change and improve their interpersonal effectiveness.

It is this same commitment and vision that led him to write The Game of Life, about which he says: "People have been asking me for years to write this book. It encapsulates over 20 years of my research, teaching and personal observations on the game. It focuses on the dynamics of human behaviour in conflict situations, whether at the breakfast table, in the office or at the bargaining table. It's about handling difficult people in a variety of challenging circumstances. More importantly, it's about you -- and your ability to achieve your personal aspirations in life."
