James Clear Speaking Testimonials

James Clear was amazing. A 10 out of 10. From the moment he showed up (on time) to the moment he left, he brought a peace and calm with him everywhere he went. He was flexible and worked well with the technicians to set up his presentation. He demonstrated humility and discipline in his approach all while allowing for flexibility. He had practiced his speaking and story telling so that it was flawless yet could roll with any adjustment needed to reach the audience. As for message, the message was spot on and relevant to a wide audience. He broke the message down simply and shared relevant stories to drive them home. You could tell he had plenty of stories that he didn’t tell. The other...

Marc

I am thrilled we were able to bring James’ content (and his book!) to our people of ESPN. The numbers we had today for this event have been the highest we’ve seen for a keynote speaker since we went 100% virtual. The amount of texts, emails and DM’s I got were unbelievable. The attendees absolutely loved the content!

Shannon

James delivered a compelling presentation about habit change and personal productivity that will influence how our students stretch themselves to pursue new opportunities. His work is clear and actionable in a way that breaks down some of the most challenging barriers that we all have to overcome. I would highly recommend James to any organization seeking to accomplish great things.

Dan Sommer

James is a strong, confident facilitator and his message was easily understood by the audience. He did a great job teaching and facilitating a conversation with our group about habits. It was a great experience and our team got a lot of valuable ideas from the time spent.

Laura Blanchard

Mastermind Talks is an invite-only event for high-level executives, CEOs, and startup founders. It’s a demanding and intelligent audience. I was lucky enough to have James lead a roundtable session at our event, and to date it has not only been our most attended roundtable, but the highest rated by our audience as well.
