Jim Lawless

' Jim speaks about personal and team peak performance, leadership, communication and change and his presentations are liberally illustrated with energy, humour and anecdotes. Jim has the ability to delight any audience because he talks common sense and explores how simple changes in mindsets and behaviors can influence our chances of success. To prove his theories about motivation, achieving the daunting and change, Jim recently embarked on a new and dangerous journey - from being an 11 stone non-riding, overweight smoker to become a licensed jockey... in less than 1 year! Jim's presentation will share the experience of this extraordinary journey, and show you how you can face your own challenges with renewed confidence.'

Jim was the best motivational speaker we have ever had at our Conference, and we have had very good speakers in the past. He will be a hard act to follow and I look forward to hearing your suggestions for 2010.

“Jim certainly tamed his tiger in facing an audience of forty Learning and Development professionals !
His dynamic and engaging delivery really hit the spot and created a buzz in the team. Sometimes it's easy to 'talk the talk' but Jim is different in that he 'walks the walk' and the way he spoke so eloquently of his experiences in becoming a jockey was inspiring. It's always good to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak !”
