A lifelong love of aviation and abundant curiosity have inspired James to forge a path designed to change the trajectory of peoples’ lives.
How the Four Forces of Flight
Inspired the Four Forces of Life™
Thrust. Drag. Lift. Gravity. Four words that changed James Grayson’s life. They can change yours, too. James is passionate about sharing his story and teaching others how these Four Forces of Flight unlock a level of personal and professional excellence they may not even know they have. Through a lifetime of experience, James discovered how the physics of flight align with the physics of life—evolving the Four Forces of Flight into a powerful coaching principle—the Four Forces of Life™.
Learn how the best operation supports the people in it: when individuals perform better, teams perform better—and business performance experiences a huge lift.
I hope to leave you with the curiosity, passion, and tools needed to lead a life of purpose, joy, and strength.

Keynote
James begins by unpacking the four forces of flight, drawing parallels between aviation and life. Through his Four Forces of Life™ keynote, he’ll explain how each force can be influenced through curiosity, authenticity, passion and resilience. Finally, he’ll teach the audience how to frame the complexities of life and put them into perspective, intentionally adjusting their emotional and intellectual trajectory, unlocking a life well-lived—and a job well done.
All of James’ Four Forces of Life™ workshops start with an interactive version of his keynote. From there, the participants take off to a series of discussions, action planning, and exercises tailored to individual, team, or organization goals. They will be guided through the intellectual and emotional axes, plotting their own courses to what James calls the Double Positive.
Designed differently for individuals and teams, coaching features multiple sessions and/or visits that ensure full understanding of the Four Forces of Life™ principle and how to apply it in the real world. The ultimate goal, whether for the individual or the team, is to add real meaning to life and their roles in your organization.
Using the analogy of the national airspace system and the planes flying within, James focuses on how your operational construct works with your team members in order to build the best performance that meets the needs of the organization, teams, and individuals alike. His goal: You, only better.
