Biography
Jim Lawless is one of the world's leading motivational speakers and a pioneer in the fields of change and performance shift. He has inspired and empowered over half a million people on five continents.
Author of the bestselling 'Taming Tigers' (Random House), Jim has taught the skill of change in Global and Fortune 500 companies, Olympic and Paralympic teams, business schools and government for two decades.
A strong believer in walking his talk, Jim tested his approach to bold, fast change by becoming a televised jockey in just 12 months. At the outset he was 36, unfit, overweight, couldn't take time off work and couldn't even ride.
To test his ideas on managing the neuroscience and physiology of fear (and fundraise), he took the British freediving record in just 8 months. He is now the first Briton to dive deeper than 100m on a single breath of air.
Jim started his career as a City solicitor. After a decade of lawyering with the name "Lawless" he had perfected the trademark wit and humour he brings to the stage.
Over the past two decades, Jim Lawless has evolved to be one of the most in-demand motivational speakers in the world delivering over 100 major conference keynotes each year. What differentiates him, besides having proven his highly effective methodology personally, is his immense personal 1-1 connectivity with people in audiences of all sizes. He brings passion, energy, interactivity and amusing elements to the stage creating an engagement that transforms mindsets with ease.

THE ART OF POSSIBLE
‘Future of Work’, AI and the pace of geopolitical, tech and market disruptions require us to look at ideas we previously thought impossible, create a way to build them, and execute at pace whilst managing the risk.
If you’re asking yourself and your people to do things that have not been achieved before, you will create strong tension.
Unresolved, that tension will cause delays and the erosion of your ambition.
Understanding the tension liberates your people from it. And inspired, liberated people in collaboration can achieve the seemingly impossible.
And that’s Jim’s role in supporting your ambition. After all, nobody can become a jockey in 12 months or break a freediving record in 8 months whilst still delivering their day job…
BOLD CHANGE
FAST
You’re right. The only way to achieve the bold, fast change needed to deliver the plan is through your people owning it, courageously trying new, uncertain things and taking astute, managed risks.
We have taught leaders how to ‘manage’ and ‘drive’ change for decades. We have not taught our people how to manage the evolutionary human ‘fear algorithm’ that causes our whole body to react powerfully against risk and uncertainty. An algorithm carefully calibrated for the old Industrial Age through our education and ‘old work’ systems.
Gathering your people together in the same room is your critical opportunity to give them the skills, confidence, determination and inspiration to recognise and override the fear algorithm and to take managed, courageous necessary risks to create change where it counts.
Highly experienced, world class support is at hand to help you do precisely that.
