One of the world’s most in demand keynote speakers, Jim is widely respected not just for his achievements but also for his ability to connect with people at all levels. His talks are filled with real-world applications, challenging audiences to re-evaluate their assumptions and take bold steps towards their goals. His methodology emphasizes the importance of agile thinking and decisive action in a rapidly changing world. A deeply trusted architect of transformation and culture, he has advised senior leaders from Apple and Microsoft to Diageo and carries that gravitas onstage with him. His captivating presence onstage is magnified by his energy, humour and compelling storytelling with a deep, lived understanding of the emotions, vulnerability and personal encounters with risk and uncertainty that come with change - drawn from his own experience of achieving the ‘impossible’ in his own life. His immense and immediate credibility comes from the fact that he sits at the top table as a trusted advisor to leaders delivering change and that he literally embodies what he talks about.
