Honest stories. Told from the heart.


Jim’s talks invite audiences to pause, reflect and ask the deeper questions.

Keynotes

Not your average dry presentation of regurgitated business bullsh*t bingo.

Through captivating stories, my aim is to move your audience emotionally, inspiring them to become they truly want to be, not the one they feel they should be.

Workshops

More intimate and interactive conversations, creating the space for your people to genuinely connect with themselves, each other and their work.

There is a direct link between the bravery of your people, and the impact these workshops create.

"I was amazed by how Jim mesmerised the audience, he had them eating out of the palm of his hand."

Why I Care

I approach my speaking the same way I approach life — with honesty, energy, and a healthy dose of humility.

​

That’s taken me through some hilarious, terrifying, and deeply human experiences: living in nine countries, running an ultra-marathon with no training after being told I’d never run again, and skiing a giant slalom race in nothing but a g-string.

​

At 30, I burned out running a multi-million-pound business in Australia. Not because the work was hard, but because I was trying to be someone I wasn't. On the surface, I was thriving - but underneath, it was all a performance.

​

That experience taught me how costly it is to live as someone you’re not, and how powerful it is to rediscover who you really are.

​

Now, I help people reconnect with themselves, reduce stress, and find the confidence and clarity to perform at their best - without losing who they are in the process.

​

If you’re after a dry, data-heavy talk, I’m not your man.


But if you want your audience to laugh, reflect, and leave the room seeing themselves differently, we’ll get on just fine.

Keynotes

Who Got You Here, Won't Get You There

​

An engaging and relatable keynote introducing my Cast List Concept — a fresh way to understand what really drives human behaviour.

​

Your audience will discover they’re not one fixed “character,” but a mix of different cast members - some bold, some cautious, some loving, some fearful.

 

They'll see that happiness and success don’t come from doing more, but from ensuring the

right Cast Member get's the microphone.

​

When your team understands their Cast List, they can:

​

  • Show up with greater confidence and clarity

  • Recognise what’s holding them — or others — back

  • Create stronger connections and shared purpose

Be The You You Want To Be​

Author of Who Got You Here Won't Get You There, Jim Hughes shows founders and leaders - who've been so focused on performing for others, they've forgotten who they are - how to get High Performance Without the Performance.

You've built your life on being the one who's got their sh*t together. But now, for maybe the first time ever, you don't know which path to take or what you actually want. This confusion has undermined the clarity, confidence and energy your very identity has been based on.

Jim will show your audience how to:

  • Stop second-guessing themselves

  • Break free from others' expectations and;

  • Rediscover what they actually want...

​

So they can make decisions with conviction, bring their whole selves to what they do, and build a life they're genuinely excited to wake up to.

Know Yourself Find Your Playground

 

Ones ‘Playground’ is the mental and physical place where you feel aligned and inspired to be your authentic self. 

​

Our consumption of content and endless screen time however, make getting there harder than ever.

 

Rather than becoming enlightened, we are scrambling the signal between our hearts and our heads.

​

 In this keynote I share deep, personal stories in order to empower your audience to challenge their own assumptions, connect with their true selves and Find Their Playground! 

"Jim's talk was such an amazing experience. My team now better understand what they love to do and what their co-workers enjoy doing.
