I became acquainted with Jim Echols and his firm, Renaissance Management and Training Solutions, LLP, about five years ago when he joined the Kansas Chamber as a general member. He soon advised and assisted with the development of our annual Minority Business Summit. He currently serves as a member of the Chamber’s Board of Directors and received the Chamber’s Small Business Champion Award in 2022. He also established a second firm, Renaissance Community & Public Relations, LLC, at the end of 2022.

Jim’s common-sense approach to diversity & inclusion, along with organizational leadership & management, emphasizes adherence to fundamental business practices, principles and our American free enterprise system. Without hesitation, I recommend Jim and his staff for organizations seeking advice, assessments and staff development & workforce enhancements.

The training series provided to our staff by the Renaissance team was top notch. Our employees participated in a number of sessions, to include cultural proficiency, implicit bias, and introduction to the LGBTQ + community. Their instructors presented the material in a manner that was not over the top, but rather put participants at ease with the various topics. Their approach facilitated the participant’s learning process and led to a better understanding of the material. In addition, their staff used real life experiences which helped the audience relate to the discussion. We also conducted pre/post assessments which helped our organization better understand our strengths and opportunities to improve. If you are looking for a company to provide similar training, we would recommend the Renaissance Management & Training
Solutions team.

I started working with Jim Echols as a business advisor about 4 years ago. We meet regularly to discuss the growth opportunities Jim continues to see with his public relations firm, Renaissance Management and Training Solutions. As a colleague, friend, and advisor over the last few years I have had the pleasure of seeing Jim's consistent focus on providing his clients with effective training in human relations and teamwork in the workplace. Jim's extensive career in public service has provided him with a perspective that helps his clients see the true operational benefits associated with a common-sense approach to diversity and inclusion training. As a CEO, Jim has always been focused on making sure everyone within his organization maintains a  consistent message when providing this training. In today's environment, it is important for business leaders to implement and provide proper DEl training for their employees. I would recommend Jim and his team as an essential component of any company's overall strategy to provide this training.
