Guest speaker's profile: James Lyon

The world's 'go to' HR marketing guy.

James understands that as the driving force behind your consultancy at an operational and delivery level, you struggle to spend time working ON the business, because all of your time is spent working IN it.

And, in usual circumstances, the time you spend working in the business has already had a high cost on your quality of life.

You’re not going to get to the end of your life, look back and wish you’d spent more time firing people and advising business owners.

Instead, you’ll wish you’d spent more time with your children. Or your other half. Or just having more fun.

James has worked with hundreds of independent business owners over the past 10 years. I now work with the owners and managers of HR consultancies. Helping you to get new clients and create a life you love.
