ATOMIC HABITS: HOW TO GET 1% BETTER EVERY DAY
How can you see dramatic improvement in your personal and professional life? The natural impulse is to attempt big steps to improve.
However, taking big steps often results in failure or only temporary gains. You rarely see the permanent results you want.
The key to successful change is in small habits. In this entertaining talk, James Clear focuses on the science of small habits, how they work, and how their effects compound and multiply over time.
Through research and personal stories, audiences will not only be entertained but also come away with practical strategies they can immediately apply in their personal and professional lives.
HOW TO MAKE MOTIVATION LAST
The old way of motivating people is broken. Too often, we provide a fleeting moment of high energy while watching an inspiring video or listening to a motivational speech, only to have the feeling fade within minutes.
The same is true of other motivational gimmicks from corporate incentives to gamification leaderboards. They simply don’t stick. We don’t need more inspirational feelings; we need enlightened understanding.
In this James Clear talk, audience members will enjoy a series of aha moments that help them reframe the way they motivate themselves and others on a daily basis.
Whether you’re trying to figure out how to motivate yourself or how to motivate a team, James talk will give you the skills and knowledge you need to sustain motivation for good.
HOW TO LEAD IN AN UNCERTAIN WORLD
We are living in an era full of unknowns. The pace of technological change is accelerating and we are overflowing with data.
In a world that shifts rapidly beneath our feet, it’s easy to become frozen in the face of uncertainty. How can we make decisions and move forward?
In this talk, James Clear takes audiences on a fascinating tour of the powerful and unchanging forces that have shaped human behavior for thousands of years.
You’ll learn how to make decisions, weigh options, develop strategies and thrive in an uncertain world by mastering the constant and predictable certainties of human behavior.
GOALS ARE OVERRATED: EXECUTION IS EVERYTHING
Everybody wants a gold medal, but few people want to train like an Olympian. Having a goal is easy. Executing is hard. We all know how to start but few of us can finish. In the end, execution is everything. So how can you learn to execute?
In this highly motivational talk, James Clear shows audiences what holds them back is rarely their ideas or goals.
The real bottleneck of progress is daily habits and the systems for making them happen.
Audiences will leave this talk with the tools to build the systems they need to get results they want and become finishers.

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
