Strategic Advisory Group: Neen James
Neen James, partner in the international education company Thought Leaders Global, is a leadership expert who delivers high-energy keynotes that challenge audiences to prioritize focus in their work and lives. She is the author of nine books including Folding Time and, most recently, Attention Pays. She has been named one of the top 30 leadership speakers by Global Guru several years in a row and has worked with companies like Viacom, Comcast, Cisco, Virgin, Johnson & Johnson, and the FBI, among others.
Understanding that attention and productivity can only come after clarifying what matters most, she utilizes boundless energy and quick wit to leave audiences with powerful, practical strategies they can apply personally and professionally on what matters most, enabling attendees to pay more attention, create more significant moments, and increase productivity at work and home.
With a strong background in learning and development and managing large teams at various corporations, she works with organizations who want systems-thinking based, implementable strategies, resulting in employees who can create space and be allowed the freedom to avoid distractions, stop interruptions, prioritize daily objectives and say ‘no’ to requests that steal time and focus from real goals and priorities.
She is known as a speaker who engages, educates, entertains, and delivers real-world solutions that apply in your organization, your home and your community. She also provides one-on-one consulting on a variety of leadership topics.
She earned her MBA from Southern Cross University and the Certified Speaking Professional designation from National Speakers Association. She has received numerous awards as a professional speaker.
She is originally from Australia. She’s a bit mischievous, a little cheeky, considers herself an unofficial champagne taste tester, and is obsessed with her Peloton bike, a bike that goes nowhere!
