Hi, I'm James williams
performance breakthrough coach for driven professionals
James is a coach who's primary focus is to support leaders, teams and high achievers to serve without self sacrifice. Since 2015 James has supported his wife and her team in building a 7 figure coaching and lifestyle business - I Heart My Life. He has worked within various serviced based companies, including Mindvalley, to teach and coach their communities, their teams and leaders to thrive internally so they can succeed in realising their lofty goals.
In 2015 James was on the tail end of a 12 year career that wasn’t bringing out the best in him, and so he chose to make a change and go against the grain of what he was taught was possible. James left his old life behind to join his wife in her online business, whilst training as a coach and studying. In 2016, a year to the day he left his old career, James certified as a High Performance Coach through the Institute of High Performance.
Today, James have found that his true strengths are designing and communicating personal recipes for mental, emotional and physical growth. He is passionate about focusing on creating outer world impact through inner world mastery. James's passion for mastering physical, mental and emotional performance in pursuit of his own life goals is only matched by his dedication to supporting his clients’ belief that anything is possible and available for them.

MY STORY
success is a journey not a destination
The core of my motivation came from my desire to support my mother who suffered with health problems from an early age, and both my parents after they separated. Throughout this time I suffered with irritable bowel syndrome, which affected my confidence and my momentum in most areas. It was throughout these years that my interest in the effects of physical and psychological health on relationships, energy and overall performance started. Back then I didn’t see an avenue for this interest as a career so it remained just that, an interest. I remained dedicated to staying healthy myself but put the majority of my focus on others and became motivated by the results outside of myself for others.
After university, I went travelling for 7 months around Australia to try and reconnect with myself and what I needed. I had kept in touch with a contact who worked in TV in the UK and got back in touch when I returned home. Though this contact I managed to get a job for one of worlds largest TV broadcasters without even having an interview (having given them my services where ever they needed me for free for 3 months) while I worked a delivery van job when I could to earn money. Eventually they gave me a paying career as a graphic designer for the live sports news channel.

For 12 years I worked for British Sky Broadcasting in London, where I had reinvented myself multiple time to try and find a passion. I realised I had become institutionalised in a corporate bubble with a very limited perspective in terms of my options and what path to take. By all accounts it was a great career, for a great company but I knew I wanted something different for myself.
Having kept up a good relationship with my old university mentor, I was invited back to my old university a few times to talk to the students there about life after university and what their options were. Thriving from this it got me thinking about how I could somehow mentor more.
It was then that I met the most defiantly ambitious woman I had ever come across and my perspective truly changed about the man I could be. I later married her, and the story started there.
In March 2014, I supported Emily (my wife) in launching I Heart My Life (now a seven-figure coaching business) and then pursued my own path as a Certified High Performance Coach – trained by the renowned Brendon Burchard.

In 2019 we moved to South California to build on our visions as coaches and impact.
"I was fortunate enough to WORK WITH JAMES AND HE went above and beyond my expectations. I was challenged on many things, which was exactly what I needed. James helped me explore and establish high-performance habits and quickly saw where I had mindset blocks. On that day, I had those ‘A-HA’ MOMENTS, and together we mapped out the exact road map to reaching my dreams, which involves putting myself first. His support and advice help me to get fully ready for my upcoming new online program launch.."
"to impact the world the way that I want to, I needed a mentor to hold space for that to happen. When you are ready to up your game, James Williams is the first person to call.
He is an incredible coach and mentor in high performance and purpose driven behavior. He is compassionate, excited and precise. The moment you say yes to working with James is the moment your game changes."
Solange Blanchard
mergers and acquisitions advisor
“I am so grateful for James Williams! James was our featured speaker on “Day 1” of my 2-day virtual event for my mastermind clients, and it set the tone for the entire event with his presentation on “Running the Business of You.” I was blown away by the way he lead his talk as well as an open Q&A session, with his ability to tune into my clients’ needs and opening up new possibilities for them.
I highly recommend James Williams as a speaker for your next event, interview, or collaboration!”
AMY YAMADA, BUSINESS COACH
"JAMES IS adept in helping people dig into what’s true for them about your key points and in seeing where they have blocks in their mindset, and as a result, have breakthroughs in their performance.
I find JAMES'S style and material very on point and HIS responses laser, always. Whether HE IS walking a group through one of HIS training programs or coaching a group on a specific topic for the day, I learn so much frOM HIS materials and HIS responses to other participants."

Kate MacKinnon, Feng Shui Expert
"JAMES helped me create more focus, purpose, efficiency, and intention to what I am doing while increasing my self-awareness. In doing so, my results have been 10x with significantly less mental effort and energy expended. ."
ALI REDA
SALES MANAGER
"In the first 3 months, you helped me do the following:
* Quit smoking
* Improve important business relationship through positive influence Increase the results in my current business with less effort
* Planned the start of my new business and get my first client
* Increase my own self-awareness to control the energy I put out and attract as a result
* Being true to myself and my purpose allowed me to attract a new romantic relationship
I am extremely thankful for our time together and would recommend you to anyone who is serious about leveling up in life!."
"Working with James has been transformative. His tough but sensitive approach has bought real results. He never accepts vague answers, gives great insights and is a great role model. I was very resistant to coaching before I met James so came to the process with a high degree of scepticism. After just 8 weeks I was seeing results - I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a truly high performance outcome."
