James Jeffley

John F. Kennedy once said, "The ONLY reason to give a speech is to change the world." Every time we speak - whether it's to one person, or thousands - we have an opportunity to make a difference... to make an impact... to change the course of someone's life or, even, to change the world. In this poignant, provocative, humorous and self-reflective presentation, James shares how our message matters, and invites the audience to share their "World Changing Message."

Work for many people is a time-robbing, life-shortening, soul-sucking proposition...a necessary evil by which we justify our existence on the planet. But what if work wasn't a drudgery? What if work was fun? What if work was meaningful? What if work was inspiring? In this eye-opening, provocative and paradigm-challenging presentation, James provides ACTUAL examples of workplaces where employees are productive, thrive and enjoy balance, and provides a blueprint for creating a better workplace for the 21st century.

We all have a story. Many of them, in fact. Our life is the sum of the stories we tell about ourself, others and the world. In this revealing, thought-provoking and insightful speech, James explores the role of "story" in sustaining trauma - and healing from it.
