Bio
Jim Lawless is one of the most popular and sought-after inspirational speakers in the world today and the only authority on business change and personal development to have put his life on the line to prove his approach delivers solid results.
Over half a million people on five continents have been inspired by a Taming Tigers presentation and countless thousands more by Jim’s book “Taming Tigers”. Clients are delighted by the energy, inspiration and humour he brings to the event, his ability to tie into their themes and the longevity of the change he inspires in people.
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.
