About the Expert
James Beck
Transformative culture change expert
Undertook a "Pay-it-Forward" campaign in all 50 states
Champion of service, trust and relationship building
James Beck, Transformative Culture Change Expert, helps organisations create a culture of happiness, collaboration, and trust. His keynote and relationship-building programme, Unite Your People, is based on scientific principles that foster stronger colleague bonds and increase joy and fulfilment.

James's interest in neuroscience has shaped his approach. He undertook a personal journey, giving away all his possessions and serving individuals in all 50 states. This experience revealed the deeper impact of kindness and the potential for organisations to cultivate meaningful working environments. He questioned how companies could encourage giving and connection among their employees.

Through his work, James shares strategies and insights on how kindness can stimulate mental transformation and create a ripple effect of growth within teams and organisations. His struggles with PTSD and anxiety from a challenging childhood inspired him to use service as a tool for changing perspectives and behaviours.

In a year-long social experiment, he served one person or family in each state for three days, asking only for a commitment to Pay-It-Forward. This journey shifted his mindset from anxiety to fulfilment, equipping him with skills to enhance happiness and performance.

Today, James is a keynote speaker, Structural Integration Therapist, and the founder of Give Beck, where he teaches the importance of kindness and service in transforming relationships. He customises his message for diverse audiences, including schools, military groups, and non-profits. His TEDx Talk and work with various organisations have garnered media attention from CBS, Fox News, and National Fox & Friends.

James Beck's vision of fostering a culture of service and connection transforms lives and organisations in today's fast-paced corporate environment. Contact the PepTalk team today for fee information and a speaker availability check.
