  • Keynote speaker focusing on habits, decision making, and continuous improvement
James Clear is a New York Times bestselling author, keynote speaker, and founder of Habits Academy. He focuses on habits, decision-making, and continuous improvement. His book, "Atomic Habits," has sold over 20 million copies and has been translated into more than 60 languages. It was the top-selling book on Amazon in 2021 and 2023 and the number-one audiobook on Audible. James frequently speaks at Fortune 500 companies and has been featured in major publications, including Time, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. He is also a MasterClass instructor alongside notable figures like Serena Williams and Gordon Ramsay. His weekly “3-2-1” email newsletter reaches over 3 million subscribers. James applies research to his own life, experimenting with habits as an entrepreneur, writer, and weightlifter. His talks combine storytelling, academic research, and personal experience, offering a mix of inspiration and practical advice. He has engaged with clients such as Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Pfizer. As a leading expert on habit formation, James simplifies complex topics into actionable behaviours. In "Atomic Habits," which has remained on the New York Times bestseller list for over four years, he draws from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to provide a guide for establishing good habits and eliminating bad ones. Audiences learn how to improve by 1% daily, break bad habits, and develop a stronger identity. They discover strategies to overcome motivation challenges, design supportive environments, and implement small changes for significant results. James also supports the Against Malaria Foundation, donating five percent of his income to help distribute mosquito nets, which protect vulnerable populations from malaria.

Testimonials

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

ESPN

James has a natural delivery style that allowed him to connect to every audience member at their level without feeling he had all the answers, only that he had done and is doing the work himself. I would put James in front of any audience of any size.

Marc

YPO

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.
