Jim Lawless
Who is Jim Lawless?
Jim Lawless is a leadership advisor, record-breaking freediver and bestselling author who helps organisations achieve results they once considered impossible.
What are Jim Lawless‘ main achievements?
At the age of 40, while running his own consulting business, Jim Lawless became a professional jockey within twelve months, losing a quarter of his body weight along the way. Around the same period, he trained for eight months to become Britain’s deepest ever freediver, reaching 101 metres on a single breath. Both feats were undertaken deliberately, to test the principles behind the methodology he now teaches organisations: that most limits people accept are created by belief rather than reality.
That methodology, known as the DARE Loop, has since been used to advise CEOs and executive teams at organisations including Apple, Diageo, Microsoft, Amazon and HSBC on strategy execution and high-stakes transformation. Jim has spoken to more than a million people across five continents, and his book Taming Tigers is an international bestseller exploring how fear shapes the limits people set for themselves.
What kind of topics does Jim Lawless cover at events?
- The DARE Loop: How to Deliver the Impossible – Jim uses his own extreme personal challenges to show audiences what it takes to commit to a goal before feeling ready, and how to turn that commitment into a plan for immediate action.
- The Next Dimension of Leadership – Jim examines why traditional top-down management struggles in fast-changing conditions, and what it takes to build teams capable of thinking and adapting for themselves.
- High Performance Under Pressure – Jim looks at the habits that separate people who stay effective under intense pressure from those who don’t, and how organisations can build those habits deliberately rather than leave them to chance.
- How to Lead Others Through Disruption and Uncertainty – Jim equips leaders with practical ways to guide their people through change, addressing both the practical and emotional sides of disruption to build genuine commitment to a new direction.

Here are the most commonly asked questions and answers. If you can’t see your question, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
Booking a speaker is made as straightforward as possible with Evolve. Start by browsing our website for the perfect speaker or call us directly to get a shortlist and advice. We can then get a quote on the price and ensure that the date is available. Once the deposit is received, we can put all the logistical details in place including sorting out the contract, travel accommodation etc. We will also provide a full brief to ensure that your chosen speaker meets your expectations.
The fee normally includes a keynote speech, as well as Q&A and meet and greet, but we can tailor the package to your needs and budget. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are normally charged separately but can be arranged by us.
Instead of having to approach each speaker individually, which can be challenging and time-consuming, we will take care of all of the legwork for you. The relationships that we have built up ensure that we are able to negotiate a fair price and take care of all the tricky logistical details that can otherwise cause a major headache. We ensure that a detailed contract is drawn up and are available to deal with any challenges that may occur along the way.
Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event. If your dates are flexible, it’s often possible to arrange something on shorter notice. While we can accommodate bookings at any time, booking at least 3 months in advance ensures a smoother process and allows time to meet all your requirements.
Of course! One of our team would love to talk you through the range of speakers on our website and what they can offer to your next big event.
Simply get in touch with us over the phone or via email to discuss being added to our stable of speakers.
