Talk to us about Jim Lawless

In Detail

Author of the international best seller ‘Taming Tigers’, Jim became a televised jockey (and lost 25% of his bodyweight) within 12 months of sitting on a horse. He became the deepest freediver in British history within 8 months. Both of these rapid adaptations were done to test and validate his approaches. Both were done alongside his day job – just as all work transformations are. In 2010, Jim broke the British No Limits freediving record and became the deepest British freediver in history and the first to break the magic 100m barrier on a single breath of air.

What he offers you

Audiences are captivated by his storytelling and his empathy for their unspoken fears that surround change. They give weight to his practical takeaways because he has proven them personally in extreme adaptations.
