The High-Performer In You

95% of people settle for average. But as leaders, are we exuding high-performance in our own lives and careers and are we setting the best example of high-performance to our followers? In this talk, Dr. Peter A. James will provide the audience with five key areas which will allow one to initiate this high-performance mindset in both their personal and professional lives moving forward. While this will benefit the leader, employee or entrepreneur, it will also provide a solid example for those who watch us the most.

So You Think You're A Leader

Leadership in today's chaos requires adapting to new norms. Let Peter help you unveil that leader within, and understand what modern employees seek. This talk effortlessly guides your audience through the essential shifts for effective leadership. It's not hard, just requires a bit of effort.

Reframe the Narrative

Oftentimes, society and our environments place us into a proverbial box. They dictate who we are. And what we should do. How we should act. And we often succumb to their stories. In this session, Dr. Peter A. James will provide examples and scenarios that show us that we, as professionals, know better than “they” do. And he will also provide strategies that will assist in shifting your mindset and crushing your 2024 and beyond.

Who is holding your ladder?

We, as entrepreneurs and executives often toil solo, inadvertently hindering our own success. But, are we hurting ourselves by remaining in such a bubble? If so, what is the best way to accomplish success? This workshop reveals the power of collaboration and the beauty in numbers, urging your audience to break free from isolated bubbles. Discover the best ways to achieve success with Dr. Peter A. James!
