About Dave James

Professional speaker coach and TEDx Editor's Pick
Creator of the Brain-Page-Stage communication framework
Known for blending comedy, mindfulness, and communication mastery
Dave James helps business leaders speak with confidence, clarity, and authenticity while actually enjoying the process. As a professional speaker coach and TEDx Editor's Pick, he transforms anxious presenters into engaging communicators through his unique Brain-Page-Stage framework.

Dave combines his background in healthcare (as both an A&E Nurse and Podiatrist) with expertise in mindfulness, leadership coaching, and comedy to deliver impactful presentations. His TEDx talk on mindfulness for emotional regulation was selected for the prestigious Editor's Pick, while his keynote "How to Be a Happy Human" provides practical tools for reducing stress and building resilience.

In today's business environment where authentic communication drives engagement and results, Dave helps organisations overcome common challenges like presentation anxiety, disconnected messaging, and ineffective delivery. His approach focuses on helping leaders find their authentic voice rather than following rigid scripts, enabling them to connect genuinely with audiences in boardrooms, conferences, or keynote stages.

Participants in Dave's workshops and talks gain practical tools for managing speaking anxiety, learn techniques for crafting compelling narratives, and develop the confidence to present their authentic selves. His blend of healthcare insights, mindfulness practices, and humor creates memorable learning experiences.

Book Dave when you need a speaker who transforms communication skills while making the journey enjoyable and authentically human.
