Harper
Speaker · Coach · EAP Consultant
Failure is not the end of the story. It is the first draft.
James works with professionals and teams who are carrying something: a setback they have not moved past, a workload that is quietly burning them out, or a version of themselves they have not reached yet. Fourteen years in the food and health industry gave him a systems mind. He uses it on people.

Why James
A clinician's training, a coach's instincts.
Most personal growth speakers came to it from speaking. James came to it from a decade and a half of sitting with people whose health depended on changing a habit.
I have known James for approximately 10 years, during which time we have interacted personally and professionally. As a Professional Speaker, James is very competent at ensuring his audience and clients' needs are met with the highest level of satisfaction. It is with utmost pleasure that I recommend him as someone to partner with.
His approach to his work is rooted in ensuring his clients' lives are transformed for the better. I appreciated his excellent customer service, flexibility, high level of communication, and expertise. He practices what he preaches and would be great for your event.
Meet James
He started with bodies. He ended up with lives.
"I help professionals and teams unlock their full potential through personal growth, empowering them to achieve greater success, fulfillment, and resilience."
James Harper spent fourteen years as a consultant in the food and health industry. He holds a BSc in Nutrition and Dietetics and is a certified Diabetes Educator, accredited by the Michener Institute of Education at UHN and the International Diabetes Federation.
In 2020 he launched his own business as a health and wellness coach, working with people living with chronic lifestyle diseases. That is close-quarters work. You sit with someone whose blood sugar is a number on a page and discover the actual obstacle is a marriage, a job, a grief, or a belief about themselves they have never said out loud.
In 2023 he widened the work to match what he was finding, and became a personal growth speaker, coach, and EAP consultant. His primary focus is helping working professionals overcome the challenges in their way and reach their full potential, with keynotes on health and wellness, self-leadership, and overcoming burnout alongside it.
He is known for connecting with an audience through messages that empower rather than instruct, and he writes a business column in Trinidad Express Newspapers. He works from Trinidad and Tobago and presents virtually anywhere.
