Description:


James is a bestselling writer, speaker, coach and consultant who helps create high performance cultures for elite teams and organisations. He is the author of the global best-seller ‘Legacy’ which provides a unique insight into the most successful sporting team - The All Blacks. James has worked with some of the world's most exceptional organisations, from Tier One Special Forces to Formula One teams, Premiership Football managers to Olympic teams, Google to Spotify to Boeing. His forthcoming book, "Where the Earth Meets the Sky", travels to Mount Everest to understand what it takes to 'reach the top’.

He asks: What do all great teams have in common? How does change happen? How can you create a culture of initiative, innovation and agility. How can you build personal and team resilience? How have we got leadership upside down - and how do leaders create leaders, common cause, connection and contribution? How do leaders become storytellers? How do you - as an individual - prepare for and perform under pressure? How do you make your teammates better? And - what will your legacy be?

As well as keynotes and inspiring team talks, Kerr also runs highly interactive LegacyLabs - masterclasses in which participants design their own high performance culture and personal leadership story. In these sessions, Kerr challenges participants to first design, and then take responsibility for delivering, the marginal gains that deliver breakthrough results. Acting as a creative catalyst, Kerr unlocks the latent potential within the team, helping develop agility, resilience, connection, cohesion and common purpose.

A superb presenter and a natural storyteller, his sessions are a mixture of sports psychology, leadership practice, organisational science, and compelling storytelling, and act as a powerful catalyst for change within organisations, and the individuals within them.

Kerr has advised US and UK Special Forces, Formula 1 teams, America’s Cup crews, Premier League football managers, Olympic Performance Directors – as well as corporations from Google to PayPal, Vodafone to Dyson, Red Bull to Roche, Shell to Boeing. He is the founder of Fable Partners, a brand and culture consultancy that uses storytelling to capture hearts and change minds.

James is the former captain of the Waihi School Under 6 Stone rugby team.
