Customizable keynote available in-person and virtually
Formats: • Keynote 45–60 minutes • Keyshop (keynote + workshop) 90–150 minutes • Half-day or full-day workshop • James tailors each format to the event and the people in the room.
THIS KEYNOTE IS PERFECT FOR:
- Leadership events, sales kick-offs or all-hands meetings aimed at raising performance, together.
- Leaders and teams who perform in environments of high change, high demand or high visibility.
- Organisations preparing for launches, results, negotiations or transformation.
- Building a culture that thrives under pressure: Creating an environment where people perform at their best, not just endure the pace.
The keynote's signature model, the 3C Resource Map™, reveals where a team is strong and which areas are vulnerable to cracking under pressure. Optional live brain monitoring shows the audience what pressure actually looks like in real time.
The 3C Resource Map™️ reveals:
Capacity: The physical, cognitive and emotional energy each person brings to the moment, and how to build it before you need it.
Control: The mental skills which turn the pressure response into focus and useful energy.
Co-ordination: The Plan–Brief–Execute–Debrief cycle, which gives teams a shared picture, clear roles and a way to get better every time.
Dr. James Hewitt is the former Chief Innovation Officer for the coaching company behind 19 Formula 1 World Championships, and he continues to advise F1 teams today. He holds a PhD in performance science and has applied his methods with organisations in over 35 countries. His bestselling book, Regenerative Performance, sets out the science behind his work.
