Imagine if your company culture could be rooted in a trifecta of happiness that elicits more bonding among colleagues, collaboration, creativity, support, trust and transparency? Not to mention higher levels of individual joy, fulfillment and a willingness to take more risks and ultimately reach more goals. While it may sound like a unicorn working environment, it is actually possible, is backed by science, and it is exactly what Transformative Culture Change Expert James Beck is helping organizations do through his Unite Your People keynote and relationship-building program.
James’ X-Factor has always been his deep knowledge of, and fascination with, neuroscience, but when he decided to personally test the effects of selfless acts of kindness by giving up all of his possessions and traveling the 50 States to serve others, that is when he knew there was more to giving than feeling good.
He started to think about the opportunity that organizations have to transform by creating more meaningful working environments centered around deeper relationships. Most companies have programs where employees can provide service outside of the organization, but what about inside? How are companies fostering deeper bonding and giving within and between their people?
James shares the strategies, science and inspiration to create this change. He reveals the neuroscience behind stimulating mental transformation and shows how acts of kindness and service toward one another creates a ripple effect of exponential growth for the individual, within teams and ultimately your entire organization.
Inspired by his own need to remove the remaining PTSD and anxiety that lingered from an abusive childhood, James developed a way to use service as a means to create neural pathways adjusting perspective and behavior. In a nationwide, year-long social experiment, James gave away his worldly possessions and served one person or family in each of the 50 states for three days at no charge, instead only asking that they Pay-It-Forward. By embracing the concept of giving so that others may give more — James went from being riddled with anxiety to becoming deeply fulfilled and empowered with new skills to be happier and a higher performer.
Today, James has gone full circle and uses his transformative experience to help others in a variety of ways. In addition to being a unique keynote speaker, he is also a Structural Integration Therapist, creator of Beck Balance Wellness Workshops, speaker, author, and founder of Give Beck, teaching people how to transform relationships through kindness and service to others.
James now inspires crowds of all ages and professions, customizing the message to the needs of your audience. In addition to his TEDx Talk, he has worked with companies, schools and universities, military groups, and charity groups. His project was featured on CBS, Fox News, and National Fox & Friends.
James Beck’s journey and vision of serving one another in our dizzying, fast-paced corporate culture is transforming lives and organizations.
Growing a happy culture is exciting when you have tools that are backed by science, experience and inspiration that can elevate your people to new heights.
At a time when people are struggling to find their place in the world and at work, Transformative Culture Change Expert James Beck shows organizations how to cultivate greater joy and collaboration within the workplace that will inspire newfound happiness, significance and personal achievement.
The key to this change is serving each other. Companies often do community service projects to build teams and cultivate positive brand awareness. But the most significant benefits of service remain between colleagues and that is currently an untapped resource. This unique presentation on Uniting Your People through Service will unlock the secrets of the Happiness Trifecta, showing the benefits of increasing Serotonin, Dopamine and Oxytocin in order to benefit your people and company in the following ways:
Serotonin stabilizes feelings of well-being & happiness. This enables our nervous system to communicate, which helps us digest, sleep, learn, remember, & reward ourselves. Serotonin increases overall happiness
Dopamine is the Feel Good hormone that regulates behavior and the willingness to attain goals. Our nervous system uses it to transmit messages between nerve cells. It's how we think & plan. Dopamine increases positive motivation.
Oxytocin promotes attachment & solidifies relationships by crystalizing emotional memories & reducing tension. It triggers protective instincts & improves social skills. Oxytocin creates deeper social bonds.

In his presentations, James Beck shows you how to achieve authentic happiness personally and professionally, improve your business culture, and grow relationships, through service to others.
James Beck had a life that seemed enviable… a Beverly Hills job… a place by the beach… but it felt empty and lacked purpose.
Unhappy with the direction life was going, he set out to find a new path, one with meaning and fulfillment.
In 2011, he gave away his possessions and committed one year to serving someone in each state for three days, only asking that they pay-it-forward.
By beginning each state with the question, “How can I help you?”, he explored how to live in a constant state of giving.
He discovered that service and kindness fostered healthy, meaningful relationships, filling him with joy and happiness.
His story highlights the immediate impact of his service to these individuals and families. As the pay-it-forward actions spread through the communities, the most significant transformation in people’s lives were revealed over time.
James shares some of these blossoming ripple-effects in his presentations. Through stories, videos and photos, you’ll witness how one small act of kindness truly can change someone’s destiny.

Do you want your organization filled with autonomous and free-thinking leaders that look to solve issues before they become problems?
Servant Leadership epitomizes the greatest good that any leader can accomplish with their team. This leadership style produces a thriving and profitable work culture by enhancing consciousness and accelerating performance when demonstrated well.
The problem is: How does a single leader shift an entire organization into this healthier mindset without push-back from organizational veterans rooted in the old habits that limit corporate culture?
Servant Leadership isn't a model to follow or a style to display. It's not something you would follow step by step on any Management Training. Instead, it's a philosophy to be adhered to, a mindset to demonstrate, and an attitude to manifest under actual leadership conditions: ‘wanting to serve first.’ When done correctly, you will see an incredible camaraderie between team members, a higher purpose driven by the business, and a commitment to excellence that
other philosophies can't touch.
Would you like your people to be more authentic, empathetic, and value others as human beings? Do you wish your group would cultivate relationships with others so they can provide valuable direction without needing your input? Or maybe you want your team to look for ways to help each other, increasing teamwork effectiveness?
James Beck’s ‘Live by Giving’ keynote provides a pivotal milestone for organizations to strengthen the effectiveness of their teams.
Beck utilizes over 20 years of experience working with ancient and modern concepts to expedite your organization's journey into developing their people, drive a vision that inspires a group into action, get individuals to buy into a better future, and build cohesion to accomplish your goals.
The ‘Live by Giving’ keynote shows how people are inherently good and want to grow goodness in humanity. The message reveals how any act of kindness can add to another act of kindness, resulting in a ripple effect of exponential good that impacts anybody connected to the service.
