James Grayson has embarked on a journey to reshape the course of people’s lives. While each person’s path is unique, James is dedicated to helping others amplify positivity and fulfillment on their own.
His experiences in aviation operations led him to develop a powerful concept: transforming the four forces of flight into the Four Forces of Life™. In sharing this mission with others, James finds his own sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Through his keynote, workshop, and coaching, James can help individuals unlock a life well-lived—and a job well-done.
James is driven by a passion for sharing his journey and helping others tap into levels of personal and professional excellence they may not realize they possess. Through his lifetime of ups and downs, 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™. This principle inspires individuals to discover their untapped potential, improving the way they live and work.

Continuing the aviation metaphor, James’ intent is to make participants more self-aware of how their own performance envelop can expand to unlock personal and professional success. Participants will learn how to plot the complexities of life and their desired trajectory in a simple two-axis graph that they can reference when they find themselves in challenging situations. The first discussion and exercise covers the Intellectual Axis. The second pivots to the Emotional Axis. Then it’s time to “Take Flight” (no, not leave!) as individuals enter the final phase of the workshop: Intentionally Pursuing the Double Positive.
What Type of Plane are You?
Expand Your Performance Envelope
Pursue the Double Positive by Living Intentionally
Over the course of eight sessions grouped into four phases, participants will learn how to better understand themselves by drawing parallels to an airplane. James’ primary goal is to help them expand their performance envelope. Along the way, they’ll gain a new vocabulary rooted in aviation, with terms like thrust, drag, lift, and gravity—representing the four forces of flight—and how these concepts relate to life.
The ultimate goal: a life of purpose, joy, and strength.
