James Peach - Award-Winning Keynote Speaker. Global Marketing Leader. World Cyclist and Adventurer. Leadership and Performance Coach.

James did a Keynote speech at a Leadership awayday in York, following a couple of session with Me and our CEO. He delivered a brilliant and engaging session, using a great model our people could take away and use, weaving in engaging stories from his cycling trip around the world and other adventures plus his time at Uber, Vinted and Innocent. A really good balance between the learning points backed up by real world example of success and learnings. He did a great job of relating it back to our business and aligning to the messages we wanted to deliver to the group. I would invite James back in the future if we get the opportunity and I would definitely recommend him. More...

Loved having James as a speaker - very relatable, knowledgable and great information! The whole team enjoyed it and found something that we took to our day-to-day work!

James gave a great talk which hit the brief exactly, talking about resilience relating to his exciting life adventures and impressive industrial career.

James is such an engaging story-teller – he joined us for our annual Tesco Property conference and when speaking to colleagues afterwards, James’ key-note speech is the first thing that everyone mentioned – the feedback was fantastic!

His personal story was told in a light, humorous and engaging way – interweaved with core messages that linked to our Tesco Winning Behaviours – he had really taken the time to personalise his story to make it relevant to the audience. I would have no doubt recommending James – you will not regret it! More...

Working with James was an absolute pleasure. From our initial conversation through to the very end, he was an exceptional professional. James conducted a session for both our staff and students on the topic of resilience, and his storytelling truly breathed life into the subject. The feedback we received from those who attended his session was that they were inspired. More...

James was the best pre-term presenter we have had. Not only was his story compelling and riveting, he had taken on board the context of our own college to make reference within his story so that our staff could relate to specific elements.
There was so much to take in that I can't wait to look at the recording to digest again. Would highly recommend James! More...

James was an absolute pleasure to deal with whilst arranging him as a speaker for our event at Nespresso UK. He understood what we were looking for and the brief. And, wow, did James deliver an engaging and inspiring key note speech.

James brought to life the impact of resilience and teamwork with the most captivating and entrancing talk. He left the audience truly galvanised by his fascinating adventures, yet humbled by how relatable he is.

I've seen my fair share of speakers over the years and hands down James has been my favourite to date. A normal person who has done extraordinary things.

The true measure of the impact is that several months on the teams are still referring to what we learned on the day with James.

I recommend James to everyone without hesitation for anyone looking for a keynote speaker. More...

James masterfully communicated the profound connection between individual well-being and team success. His insights were not only eye-opening but also actionable, providing inspiring and practical strategies for what integrating self-care can look like no matter where you are or what you are doing. He shared thought-provoking examples that underscored the importance of prioritising mental and physical health, and how it ultimately contributes to a high-performing team.

What stood out most was James's genuine passion and authenticity. He didn't just talk; he engaged with our team on a personal level, making his message resonate deeply. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, leaving us all inspired to make positive changes for ourselves and our teams.

James's talk was a true highlight of our day, leaving a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to hear him speak.

James was great to work with. He made the booking process and subsequent coordination and arrangements extremely easy. On the day he was punctual, approachable and friendly. James' inspirational speech surrounding his cycling expedition around the world was awesome. His talk was illustrated with a selection of stunning photographs while giving motivational tips for taking on challenges in our own lives. James' talk was funny, engaging, incredibly interesting and everyone was transfixed throughout his one hour presentation. I would thoroughly recommend booking James to speak in any venue, to any size audience, for any occasion...truly brilliant! Thank you so much James! More...

James Peach delivered a talk at a ‘Wellbeing Engagement Day’ onsite at the National Composites Centre, titled, ‘A Cycle Around the Planet – Lessons in managing your mind and finding the adventure in everything you do’.

All we can say is ‘WOW’. James is an incredibly inspirational, engaging and talented speaker who had the 100-member audience enthralled throughout. He expertly blended his life experience of cycling around the world over 2.5 years and lessons learnt along the way with the importance of looking after your mind and body.

He was relatable and attendees could not stop talking about the session and the positive impact his words had on them.

Whether you are looking for a mental health/wellbeing focus, inspirational talk or a business-related theme, we could not recommend James enough as a key speaker at your event. More...

James spoke to our team at innocent on the topic of resilience, using stimulus from cycling around the world and his experience as a brand leader. He gave a captivating and entertaining talk, with meaningful content and practical advice. James is very engaging, he speaks with honesty and passion – and the talk had a big impact on the team, so much so we have invited him back to speak again. More...

We had James in to speak after our company All Hands and absolutely loved it. He captured the audience so well that the hour just flew by, made the talk extremely personal and relevant to us and our values, and left the wider team feeling motivated and ready to be the best version of themselves.

It won't be the last time we use James and I'd be happy to recommend him to any business that is interested in an inspirational story. More...
