Jim Lawless Keynote Speaker, Virtual Event Speaker

Through Symmetry, Jim Lawless takes an organisation-wide approach to transformation, recognising that lasting change depends on how people experience leadership in their everyday working relationships. His work is structured across four levels: the executive team, senior leadership community, team leaders and the wider workforce.

At executive level, he helps CEOs examine how authority is exercised, where decisions are being pulled upwards and how leadership behaviours may unintentionally encourage hesitation. He then works with senior leaders to establish shared standards, trust and accountability, enabling them to become genuine co-owners of performance rather than passive recipients of strategy.

For team leaders, his INSPIRE programme develops practical skills in coaching, setting outcomes people own, holding people to account constructively and having difficult conversations. His work with employees focuses on building individual ownership, helping people understand when to seek permission and when to take responsibility and act.

Jim also extends his keynote work into interactive plenary workshops for audiences of up to 3,000 participants, allowing people to apply his principles directly to their organisation’s strategy and leave with clear decisions, commitments and actions.
