ABOUT
James Clear is a writer and keynote speaker focused on habits, decision making, and continuous improvement. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits. The book has sold over 7 million copies worldwide, has been translated into more than 50 languages and is the #1 best-selling book of 2021 on Amazon and #1 audiobook on Audible. Clear is a regular speaker at Fortune 500 companies and his work has been featured in publications such as Time magazine, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and on CBS This Morning. His popular “3-2-1” email newsletter is sent out each week to more than 1.5 million subscribers.
James doesn’t merely report the research of others. He tries out the concepts for himself as he experiments with building better habits as an entrepreneur, writer, and weightlifter. In the end, his talks end up being one-part storytelling, one-part academic research, and one-part personal experiment, forming a colorful blend of inspirational stories, academic science, and hard-earned wisdom.
James Clear, one of the world’s leading experts on habit formation, is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. In his book Atomic Habits, which spent over a year on the New York Times bestseller list, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible.
Some of James’ engagements include Fortune 1000 and strategic clients such as KPMG, Microsoft, A&T, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Dell Technologies, Facebook, Google, Liberty Mutual, Pfizer, JP Morgan Chase & Co., Procter & Gamble, Adobe, Lockheed Martin, and Wells Fargo.

Leading in the New Work Order
A monster wave of change has set off a vast reckoning with our taken-for-granted beliefs about every aspect of how and where work gets done. Every leader today must grapple with the inescapable imperative to create and embrace a comprehensive agenda for meaningful change on the design of work and the interconnected urgent challenges of our time—deep inequities, structural dehumanization, environmental calamity. Polly LaBarre takes leaders on a journey across this new landscape—inspiring them with fresh thinking on the work of leadership and equipping them with powerful new approaches for this new work order, including:
• How to transcend the seemingly intractable tradeoffs between performance imperatives and responsibility for people and planet
• How to cultivate an “audacity of imagination” and galvanize people around a shared sense of purpose
• How to “leader-proof” your organization
• How to design platforms for involving, equipping, and connecting people
• How to build organizational respond-ability by enlarging individual responsibility
• How to grow your own resilience in the face of daunting uncertainty
