James Green on Civic Politics - The David Berner Interview, Ep. 28 (2011)

Teacher. Activist. School trustee. Television producer. Musician. 2005 Vancouver mayoral candidate. James Green has never been easy to summarise -- and that is precisely what makes this 2011 conversation worth watching.

In Episode 28 of the David Berner Interview, James speaks candidly about civic politics ahead of Vancouver's fall elections. Outspoken, independent, and refreshingly direct.

"James encouraged me to pursue my matter and advised me to hold back at times when some of my desired actions may have been fueled by negative emotions. He guided me to be balanced and taught me that in order to gain the results needed, we needed to follow a plan and be patient."

— Mario Amabile

"Your ability to define the problem and work with both parties to resolve our concerns was exemplary. Your demeanour and the excellent way you articulated our concerns helped lead to a solution that was greatly appreciated."

Business Associates | What They Are Saying

“James Green is a high-energy, passionate, engaged individual - one who is a natural leader and motivational coach.  He has certainly assisted me in some business modeling and conceptualizing projects.  His knowledge of entrepreneurship, non-profits fundraising ideas and public policy is extensive.  He would be an asset to any project, especially assisting and supporting people who are in stressful situations.”

“You convinced me that you understood what the problems were and that you could improve the show. I secured the network’s approval for a pilot and the rest is history.”

— John H. Kennedy, CBC Regional Director on Urban Peasant

“He is intentional in his approach, committed to quality, and focused on building meaningful value rather than pursuing short-term recognition.”

“James is a highly creative and thoughtful leader whose work reflects both experience and intentionality. What distinguishes him is not simply his creative ability, but the character, professionalism, and vision he brings to the people and projects he serves.

Throughout my interactions with James, I have consistently been impressed by his ability to combine creativity with authenticity and strong interpersonal leadership. He approaches his work with a genuine passion for serving others, mentoring those around him, and creating meaningful impact through his ideas and execution.

James possesses the kind of emotional intelligence and relationship-driven leadership that is increasingly valuable in today’s business environment. He communicates thoughtfully, collaborates well with others, and demonstrates a level of maturity and professionalism that builds confidence and trust.

In addition to his creative strengths, James carries a long-term mindset that I believe is important for any growing business or venture. He is intentional in his approach, committed to quality, and focused on building meaningful value rather than pursuing short-term recognition.

While many professionals can develop creative skills, far fewer combine creativity with integrity, leadership, humility, and a sincere investment in people. James brings those qualities together naturally, and I believe they position him well for continued growth and future opportunities.

I am confident that investors, collaborators, and strategic partners will recognize the strength of both his character and creative vision.”
