Keynote Presenter 

James Greenshields  |  Director  |  Emergent Leaders Foundation

James Greenshields is husband to Kirsty and father to Abigail and Penelope, who have been an integral part of his incredible personal and professional leadership journey. Seventeen years as an Army Officer saw James command frontline organisations in combat, as well as engage at the strategic level with the United Nations and other Coalition Forces in a diverse range of leadership positions.

When he returned from Iraq James faced an enemy he wasn’t trained for; the inner demon of Post Traumatic Stress and Depression. His journey of inner healing and growth resulted in recovery, to the point he now refers to being hit by a roadside bomb as “the fourth best day of my life”.

Since leaving the military in 2010, James has dedicated his life to assisting others through trauma and their own personal battles. Upon witnessing our youth struggling, he personally developed an 18 month Youth Rite of Passage program that ran for 10 years, contributing to the development of harmonious families around Australia.

Seeing the hole in leadership training, James developed his own leadership philosophy, and he named it Harmonic Leadership. His programs have helped to build organisational leadership frameworks within a wide array of environments, from Jewellery chains, AFL and NRL athletes, to the Construction Industry, Health Services, Financial and Defence sectors.

James’ current project sees him engaging communities in need to develop the organic infrastructure for mental health and leadership across all ages. This Community Empowerment Project equips these localities with the resources to help themselves.

James and Kirsty created Emergent Leaders Foundation to assist in the death of the sustainability mentality, which is based in scarcity, and shift focus to the emerging Harmonic age of leadership, which has its roots in thriving.
