As the Founder of The Growth Project, James is redefining the way we think about growth and how to achieve ambitious goals – moving beyond the traditional ‘growth mindset’ to a new, more actionable framework. The Growth Project explores how we can use the lessons of the past and adopt a set of behaviours to accelerate future growth, unlocking new ways for individuals, teams, and business cultures to thrive.
James spent two years cycling a lap of the world solo and unsupported, covering over 41,000 kilometres across 38 countries. He has hiked solo across three continents and even pioneered the first triathlon to span an entire nation.
James is also a Mental Health Ambassador for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), a leading charity working to prevent suicide and support mental well-being. With 125 lives lost to suicide each week, James is committed to raising awareness, challenging stigma, and promoting resilience in both personal and professional settings.
A highly relatable, entertaining, and sought-after speaker, James captivates audiences with humour, energy, and meaningful takeaways. His talks offer a refreshing departure from the everyday and inspire audiences to think differently about life and work.
“I’ve seen a lot of speakers over the years, and James is the best I’ve encountered—a normal person who has done extraordinary things.” — Nestlé
