England
Europe
Jim Steele is a professional speaker and performance coach specialising in the design and delivery of strategies for driving sustainable change within companies.
He has worked with hundreds of organisations throughout Europe, the United States, and Asia, and whether speaking at conferences, facilitating management off-sites or providing senior executive coaching he consistently demonstrates his proven ability to deliver material that motivates, educates, inspires and entertains… more importantly, he gets results!
Jim spent 9 years of his career working as a life insurance salesman with a multinational corporation where the future was decidedly bleak as he was merely an average performing agent but with a driving ambition nonetheless. The big break came when he was given the opportunity to follow a leading sales colleague closely. It was a time of self-realisation and redefinition of mindset which eventually changed his life for the better. His thirst for knowledge suddenly became unquenchable.
For 20 years, he read and studied tirelessly, focusing on how an average performer can be propelled to excellence. Since then has spent much of the last 20 years working with highly successful companies, teams and individuals from both the corporate sector as well as from the world of professional sport, seeking to understand how these people perform consistently at the highest level.
Jim shares cutting-edge performance strategies and offers delegates the necessary tools to apply these methods to impact business results. He works with clients to highlight the mindset and behaviours needed by those leading and managing the business as well as interventions to engage teams and inspire new ways of working.
Through his highly engaging and inspiring approach, Jim coaches proven principles, ideas and techniques that optimise individual and team performance. He works with leaders and their teams to navigate change and embrace the mindset and behaviours to respond resourcefully.
‘It is safe to say that we cannot control all of the circumstances and changes that we face but we can control how we respond to them’. – Jim Steele

The feedback we received from all our delegates has been extremely positive and many have said it is the best Roadshow we have ever done- due in large part to your presentations. This from some of our staff is serious praise."

The event overall was an enormous success, but it was on your session that the delegates remember most readily, and the philosophies you presented that they are still talking about.
