Popular Talks by James Perryman
How to achieve your goals without losing yourself along the way
In the pursuit of business and professional success, it can be normal to pin your vision and dreams to a destination where goals will be achieved, everyone will be fulfilled, and business will keep on growing. What if that destination is not actually your destination or business performance to be accomplished? James is no stranger to how purpose and patience leads to personal, professional, and business success, and in this thought-provoking talk, he shows audiences the value of recognising and embracing identity and brand, the ability to create ambitious yet achievable goals and targets, and the importance of setting realistic plans to achieve sustainable rewards and outcomes. This engaging session is ideal for businesses and their teams/leaders who want to inspire their people towards a vision, with a plan that allows every individual to bring their unique skills and performance.
High performing business or high performing culture?
High performance results do not always imply a high-performance culture. Some businesses might enjoy outstanding levels of sales, revenues and growth, whilst also experiencing high levels of inefficiency, operating expenditure, employee turnover, disengagement and customer churn. In this enlightening talk, James shares the key areas that any organisation should focus on in order to create a culture that fully embraces its people, leaders and customers, whilst providing clarity on its direction, success and the path to get there. His talk covers the considerations for developing a motivated and well led workforce, the importance of translating a mission/vision into clear, ambitious objectives, and the value of having more efficient ways of working and collaborating together.
“James delivered a motivational speech and he was great - totally pitched it at the right level for the audience, made it relatable through personal stories, and came across as really authentic. He was also able to give practical advice with real examples from the audience.” Sarah Barry, Chief Transformation Officer at Aegon UK
“It takes a lot for a speaker to hold an audience's attention in their palm, but James did just that - there were laughs, and even a couple of audible gasps as he expertly unfolded his story. By building such incredible rapport and empathy, his straightforward take-aways and call to action had so much more impact and created some excited chatter about what people are actually putting into practice.” Sue Evans, Academy Director of Fast Pathways
“James tells a story that will grab at your heart and your brain. Poignant and inspiring, James' storytelling-with- a-message should be heard by as many people as possible. His presentation has the ability to change lives - if you get the chance to hear James speak, make sure you take it!” Mark Saxby, Founder of Positive Social
