Elevate Your Thinking
All change begins with a mind shift. A successful speaker knows how to meet people where they’re at and then elevate their thinking so they experience their role from a different perspective.
This is the secret to transformation.
I have been working with audiences of all types for over 20 years. While my presentations are entertaining and motivational, what’s more important is that they transform people. I shift their perspective in a way that makes them WANT to bring their best self to work each day.
A mind shift must be followed with a simple path to follow.
In order to make change stick it must be paired with a simple path or steps which people can take in order to get new results. When I leave an organization your people will have proven steps and tools in order to continue where we left off.

Choosing the right speaker or trainer is crucial to the success of your event. The coffee can be great, and the facilities state of the art, but if the speaker misses the mark, it tarnishes the entire event. I’ve planned my fair share of events and conferences and I know some of the challenges in finding the right speaker. I have created this page to assist you in gathering information about me.
What you can expect
Here is what you can expect when you work with me:
James needs the following: A wireless lavalier microphone or headset, a projector for his computer, and a sound connection for his laptop. In workshop settings, he also needs a flip chart and markers.
James’ fee depends on a couple of things such as which program he is delivering, and the location of the meeting. It’s best to speak with him directly so he can accurately give you a price for your specific event.
Yes, James does this when his schedule allows.
Yes, James always tweaks his messages to speak directly to your group. Audiences constantly remark on how well he knows their language and culture.
If you want to be sure to secure James for your date it’s best to book early. Some organizations book him a year in advance. However, if James has the date available, he only needs one week's notice.
