Dr James Hewitt's Linkedin Analytics

For over two decades, I’ve been researching human performance and helping top organizations worldwide unlock sustainable success. My journey began as a full-time racing cyclist. I wasn’t the most gifted athlete, but I leveraged cutting-edge technologies and innovative training methods to push my limits. While I didn’t achieve the podiums I dreamed of, I discovered a deeper passion—understanding what drives peak performance—and an intriguing question: “What does it take to achieve extraordinary performance without sacrificing wellbeing?” This question drove me to seek out, study, and work with elite performers in both sports and business—from Formula 1 teams to Fortune 500 executives—revealing how the principles of sustainable high performance can unlock extraordinary potential and drive transformative success. Along the way, I earned a PhD in Performance Science from Loughborough University, ranked #1 globally for Sport, Exercise, and Health Science, and founded the Knowledge Work Lab, a consultancy that empowers organizations to thrive by enhancing both performance and wellbeing. I’ve also had the privilege of sharing my insights on global stages in over 30 countries including: • Three World Economic Forum Annual Meetings in Davos, • Business conferences such as the Nordic Business Forum, where I was one of 12 speakers, including former President Barack Obama, • Top-ranked International Business Schools , including Duke, IMD and St. Gallen. Through my keynotes and consulting, I translate science into effective strategies that equip leaders and their teams to create workplaces where people don’t just survive but thrive and where employees and organizations can reach their potential with a measurable commercial impact If you're looking for a speaker who can provide a glimpse into the future of human performance—where people can achieve the exceptional without compromising their wellbeing, I'd welcome a conversation
