James Jeffley is an award-winning international speaker, leadership trainer, and author with more than three decades of experience working with organizations around the world.

Over the course of his career, he has taught and facilitated a wide range of professional development skills — including communication, leadership, collaboration, change, and human effectiveness — for corporate, nonprofit, government, and educational audiences.

Today, James’s work is focused in three key areas. First, Presentation Mastery, where he helps leaders communicate with clarity, confidence, and connection — not just mastering mechanics, but speaking from a grounded, authentic place that builds trust and influence.

Second, FEC’d UP! / UN-FEC’d, a leadership and organizational development framework that offers a new way to understand and lead change by addressing the deeper forces of fear, ego, and culture that often undermine progress, resilience, and performance.

Third, James explores the inner and ethical dimensions of leadership — the soul of leadership — helping leaders reflect on who they are, who the world pressures them to become, and who they can aspire to be as they shape the future. This work is aspirational and human-centered, drawing on vision, conscience, and responsibility in an increasingly complex world.

A two-time finalist in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking, James is known for combining practical tools with depth, insight, and humanity — challenging audiences while leaving them more clear, capable, and connected.
