Biography

Jessen James’ journey into influence, communication, and human behaviour did not begin on a stage or in a boardroom, but on the front lines of mental health. Trained as a psychiatric and mental health nurse, Jessen spent years working closely with individuals at their most vulnerable, gaining rare insight into how beliefs are formed, how behaviour is shaped, and why people make the decisions they do. This foundation gave him an exceptional understanding of psychology, emotional intelligence, and the unseen drivers behind performance and success.

Driven by a deep curiosity around influence, communication, and personal transformation, Jessen transitioned into entrepreneurship, where he quickly discovered that the same psychological principles governing mental wellbeing also determine success in business,, leadership, and sales. What followed was a rapid rise as he began applying these insights in real-world commercial environments, personally closing over $20 million in sales and helping clients generate in excess of $150 million across multiple industries.
