His thought leadership regularly appears in the New York TimesEntrepreneurBusiness InsiderMedium, and Time, and he is a regular guest for CBS This Morning. In addition, he helps millions of visitors each month through his website and hundreds of thousands subscribe through his popular email newsletter.

Atomic Habits: 1% Better Every Day

A talk on the power of small habits by keynote speaker James Clear.

Habits and Continuous Improvement

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.

Testimonials

James delivered a compelling presentation about habit change and personal productivity that will influence how our students stretch themselves to pursue new opportunities. His work is clear and actionable in a way that breaks down some of the most challenging barriers that we all have to overcome. I would highly recommend James to any organization seeking to accomplish great things.
– DAN SOMMER - CEO of Trilogy Education Services
James is a strong, confident facilitator and his message was easily understood by the audience. He did a great job teaching and facilitating a conversation with our group about habits. It was a great experience and our team got a lot of valuable ideas from the time spent.
– LAURA BLANCHARD - North America Training Manager at Lululemon
Mastermind Talks is an invite-only event for high-level executives, CEOs, and startup founders. It’s a demanding and intelligent audience. I was lucky enough to have James lead a roundtable session at our event, and to date it has not only been our most attended roundtable, but the highest rated by our audience as well. I am blessed to be in the position where I have access to a deep pool of some of the most well-known thought leaders of our time. When it comes to habits, James is the first expert that comes to mind. I would have James back at our event in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend working with him enough.
– JAYSON GAIGNARD - Founder of Mastermind Talks
