Adam James Speaking Topics

Leading With Heart: The New Competitive Advantage

Leading with Heart challenges traditional notions of authority and shows why empathy, compassion, and connection are the true drivers of organizational success today.

In this keynote, Adam James shares practical frameworks and real-world examples that empower leaders to lead with authenticity without losing accountability. Audiences walk away with actionable tools to strengthen team culture, improve communication, and make better decisions that balance business goals with human impact.

Reimagining What’s Possible: Embracing A Beginner’s Mind

As children, curiosity came naturally. We asked questions endlessly, explored without fear, and approached challenges with fresh eyes. Along the way, many trade that curiosity for certainty, and replace that openness with overwhelm. In a world dominated by AI and constant change, those who thrive aren’t the ones with all the answers, they’re the ones willing to embrace a beginner’s mind.

In this inspiring keynote, Adam James will challenge attendees to step back into the mindset of a beginner; to rediscover the curiosity, creativity, and adaptability that defined them long before titles, deadlines, and pressures took over. Through guided reflection and practical tools, participants will learn how to reduce stress, reignite passion for their work, and lead with imagination. Attendees will leave with a renewed perspective and actionable strategies to not just keep pace with a changing world, but to shape it with the very qualities that make us human.
