Optimizing Team Productivity Through the Four Forces of Life™
By learning how your individuals work together, you can gain a lot of ground when it comes to overall team performance.
Whether you’re looking into James’ spirited keynote, an engaging team workshop, or motivating team coaching—or all of the above— you’ll find an excellent way to build team morale and performance.
Keynote
James is not only driven by curiosity and a healthy passion for aviation—he is also compelled to share his journey and help 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 principle: the Four Forces of Life™.
Each of his presentations goes beyond a typical speaking engagement, offering a valuable learning experience for every participant. With James as their guide, audience members will discover how to harness the Four Forces of Life™ to unlock personal purpose and collective productivity as they’ve never before experienced.

Team Workshop
All workshops begin with ground school and a highly interactive version of the Four Forces of Life™ keynote, teaching participants how the four forces of flight can relate to how they approach their lives and their work as a team intentionally, ultimately taking the team a place James calls the Double Positive.
Participants will learn how to plot the complexities of life and discover the trajectory they want to take in a simple two-axis graph that they can reference when they find themselves, whether individually or as a team, “behind the power curve” in challenging situations.
Finally, after interactive discussions covering the Intellectual and Emotional Axes from a team perspective, it is time for the team to embrace “Taking Flight” in formation.

Team Coaching
Team Coaching is an excellent way to put your team on the same page—to fly in formation so to speak. Whether your team is the leadership of a newly formed startup, one with an established culture, or it is somewhere in between, James will bring your people together in a one-of-a-kind experience.
In four visits over a six-week duration James will observe your team and provide individual coaching to the team leader. He will also deliver team coaching sessions and what he calls “Flight School On-the-Job Training (OJT),” where he will facilitate real-world activities, ultimately resulting in a “Flight School Solo,” where the team puts their newfound skills into action on real-world activities.
All work is done on-site following a fast-paced schedule to maximize impact.
