Name:
James Hickey
Job title:
CEO
Role at LSP:
Building an awesome team to package and scale Lifesize Plans around the world.
Brief description of your background:
Building and Construction background, helping visionary owners and boards shape and deliver their visions.
What does a day at LSP involve for you?
Heaps of energy and fun. During a scale up, you are growing
the offering by learning and iterating. Defining what
strategies, objectives, priorities, and timings are needed to
deliver the companies purpose and vision. All while building
systems, culture, and the right team to make it all happen.
Not one day is the same.
What do you enjoy doing when you are not working at LSP?
I am an active person, my minds move’s that fast with work, I
need hobbies that let me body do some work also. I am a
nature lover; spending my time with family and friends
outdoors; running, hiking, swimming, riding. As our two boys
grow, we are looking forward to share this together as we
merge all our passions together.
What inspires you or provide your favourite inspirational
quote:
I love helping people realise their dreams. Seeing someone’s
eyes when they realise, they can make them a reality is gold.
I live for those moments.
I have a bank of quotes I review monthly. They all provide a
different spark, depending on my current situation.
One that resonates is by Tony Robbins: “Success
comes naturally when you stop thinking about what you
want VS what others need” ALSO One from Mae
West: “You only live once, but if you do it right, once is
enough.”
What motivates you to do what you do here, and how you
contribute to the customer experience?
I fell in love with the simplicity, yet power of what Lifesize
Plans has to offer the world.
My purpose is taking it to market by building an awesome
customer focused team. A team who knows that our clients
are the ones who will make it everything it can be; by utilising
its services, providing feedback of how we can improve and
making it happen. (repeating over and over)
If I weren't so damn good at my job, I'd probably be….
Eternally traveling. Seeing new places, meeting new
people, and experiencing new cultures.
If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd start a company.
And, you know, keep working here.
I would buy a LSP Franchise
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is……
Be in the present and listen. Always.
