I have over a decade's experience public speaking, from education and awareness around technology and security to motivation and inspirational speaking.
Alongside my speaking experience I have more than two decades of experience in business, focusing on security and technology for companies of all sizes, across a range of sectors, and run a second-generation family business which provides expert consultancy and advisory services.

Public Speaking Lessons
I don't often leave review but James has been the most honest person I've spoken with regarding public speaking services. He carefully assessed my child and told me that there was no need for me to spend money on public speaking sessions for my child as he was doing very well as a child
.
His genuine advice was very helpful for me to be able to make an informed decision.
I rarely come across honest professionals like James.
Strongly recommend!

Reply from James Bore
Thank you, it was lovely to speak to you both, and I stand by what I said - they're doing excellently and I've seen professional speakers who aren't at the same standard of confidence and delivery.

We invited James to join us on the Real Cyber Talk to share his views about threat modelling, the flaws in CVEs, and the value of vulnerability management. James was able to provide a brilliant combination of genuine insight and esoteric knowledge that's hard to come by. We'd definitely have him back! More...

I've had the pleasure of hearing James speak and working with him at many events. His extensive technical knowledge is only surpassed by his passion and enthusiasm for sharing his incisive expertise in a clear, easily understandable manner appropriate to each audience.

I’ve known James in a professional capacity for a good few years now and have yet to find something that founders him. A true professional, in all senses of the word.
James’ talks often go down incredibly well at meet-ups and conferences. I’ve had the privilege of listening to many of his talks, each one delivered eloquently and with substance – not just hastily thrown together with no real point. James is a solid speaker you can rely on as a host to deliver excellent content, in an equally excellent manner, captivating the audience and us organisers each and every time.

What do you love most about your job?
The creativity and variety, whether I'm working out how to secure an organisation's systems, digging into medical technology, explaining AI, talking to a reporter about brain chips, or presenting at events it's never the same day to day. Even better is how much of my job relies on communication, explaining cutting edge technology and security concepts for a range of audiences and working to inspire everyone from the next generation to wider companies.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After 20 years working for others, I took over the family business in 2020 when my parents were semi-retiring. It was the right time for me to go independent, and my own satisfaction in my work has proven that many times over since.
Why should our clients choose you?
I excel at presenting with energy, wry humour, and tailoring both style and content to an audience to create memorable events, whether that's a single presentation or providing hosting for a full event.
On top of that I have an excellent dress sense, and a hat collection that's the envy of my industry.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Both online and remotely are options - one of my business' subsidiaries started up running virtual events and so I'm familiar with most options from simple video broadcasts to more immersive metaverse platforms.
Motivational Speaking
Encouraging, inspirational, humorous and motivational speaking for a range of audiences. Anything from a single presentation to hosting an event.
DeMotivational Speaking
For a more innovative take on motivational speaking, presentations on topics such as "Nobody Cares So Just Do It", "It's Better to be Wrong Than Right", and "We're All Making It Up As We Go".
These talks use dry humour, honestly, and an understanding of human psychology to help people confront and overcome their own mental blocks.
Educational Speaking
With over a decade of experience speaking and commenting on security, technology, and the human effects of both I can explain the most complex topics in understandable terms for any audience and empower them to take ownership of their own relationship with technology and security.
Security and Technology Consultancy
Process analysis, security compliance (ISO 27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS, Cyber Essentials, etc), technology due diligence, awareness training, and various other offerings.
Overall we talk to you, discover what you need to be appropriately secure, and help you build to a goal where you can relax and have peace of mind, knowing that you are ready for any threats out there which might affect you.
