If you believe you’re prepared for what’s next.
Think again.
In a world that’s relentlessly advancing, organizations—and individuals—are blind to a critical cognitive force that could jeopardize their very existence. Many who consider themselves agile and forward-thinking are on the brink of harsh reality. Getting unstuck isn’t just a choice; it’s your lifeline to outpace obsolescence and secure your future.
Learn about James’ latest (and perhaps most important) presentation and workshop.
“As this era of change unfolds, it’s not about weathering the storm —
it’s about learning to dance in the rain.”
UNDERSTANDING THE CONNECTIONS THAT SHAPE OUR LIVES
Are you sticky or stuck?
“Sticky” means forging deep, loyal connections with clients, colleagues, and employees—essential for thriving in a rapidly changing world. “Stuck,” however, represents the brain’s inherent tendency to resist curiosity, stifle innovation, and cling to routine and predictability, leaving you unprepared for the future. Mastering the cognitive shifts between these two states is the key to unlocking growth, sparking innovation, and driving success. Learn to build powerful connections that fuel progress and break free from the patterns that hold you back.
THE EVOLUTION OF AN IDEA
CONNECTIONS
In the early 2000s, James found himself on a team of experts who were confident they had discovered the secret to loyal relationships. They shared the prevailing belief that these attachments were solely the products of psychology and consciousness.
He was skeptical.
Driven by a desire for a deeper understanding, he returned to his roots and embarked on a two-decade exploration across physics, chemistry, biology, and neurology. This journey led to a groundbreaking theory that has redefined how organizations and individuals cultivate and sustain their most vital relationships. His work has empowered global institutions to become more magnetic and enduring, fostering loyalty and engagement while breaking free from rigid practices and outdated mindsets. This newfound adaptability and resilience have become their greatest assets.
James’ research identifies two core types of connections: “sticky” connections that fuel loyalty, cooperation, and advocacy, and “stuck” connections that lead to stagnation and stifle progress. He uncovers how our brain’s cognitive mechanisms create these connections and how they shape our capacity to adapt and innovate. Understanding these dynamics is the key to creating cultures where people and organizations can truly thrive.

CONTAINERS
Throughout human history, the essence of storytelling has remained the same—only the containers have evolved. From the early days of sharing stories around a campfire to the rise of theaters, books, radios, movies, and today’s digital platforms, the medium has changed, but the core of the narrative endures. James leverages these evolving containers to share his stories and research, tailoring each platform to suit the content, audience, and context. Whether through a compelling keynote speech, an interactive workshop, quick video insights, or engaging social media snippets, James ensures his ideas are accessible, impactful, and resonant across all mediums.
