James Glover
He/him
Human performance coach and purpose strategist
The most meaningful leadership transformations start within. James Glover creates the space and challenge for senior leaders to re-examine who they are beneath the role and rebuild their impact from a place of self-worth and deep clarity. He’s not your typical keynote speaker. Before founding The Excitable Soul, James spent three Olympic cycles in elite sport, supporting medal- winning athletes. Over two decades, he’s worked with leaders at Shell, Sky, and Goldman Sachs, always focused on the person behind the performance.
What he’s discovered is simple but radical: The most powerful leaders lead from the inside out. Today, James works with those ready to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters. His approach blends Olympic-level rigour with soulful human insight, guiding people through transformative work on purpose, identity and emotional connection.
This isn’t about doing more. It’s about stripping things back to what’s real. Because when you lead from within, you don’t just deliver results, you change the culture around you.
