A talk on the power of small habits by keynote speaker James Clear.
As a keynote speaker, my goal is to share brilliant and interesting ideas in the most engaging way possible. Let me tell you a little bit more about me and my approach to keynote speaking.
I spend most of my time writing about self-improvement tips based on proven scientific research. In my speeches, I share the best strategies I have found for building good habits, breaking bad ones, and improving performance.
I’m the author of the New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits, which has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide.
I love storytelling and I’ve written hundreds of interesting articles about people who have transformed their habits and maximized their potential. My keynote speeches are filled with the same engaging storytelling as my writing.
My top skill as a keynote speaker is taking complex topics and making them simple and practical. In each talk, I’ll explain the science of habit change, human behavior, and high performance in a way that audiences can easily understand and actually use.
My ideas have been tested by a wide range of people. Over 8 million people read my articles each year and more than 3 million people subscribe to my weekly email newsletter. Hundreds of thousands of people follow me on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
I teach ideas that I have tried myself. I am continually working on my productivity habits as a writer, on my exercise habits as a weightlifter, and on my creativity habits as a travel photographer in over 25 countries.
