James Owen Roberts is an entrepreneur, podcast host, and international speaker with over 15 years of experience in exercise, diet, and mindset as both a coach and 2x Paralympic athlete. In addition to running James Owen Roberts Coaching, he also serves as a Wheelchair Rugby League Ireland consultant.

James was born to military parents at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (S.H.A.P.E). James’ mother was a NATO civilian for 33 years, and his father was a Master Sgt in the United States Air Force.   He grew up on the base until he graduated from SHAPE American High School.

James was born with a congenital disability called femoral dysplasia, also known as Proximal femoral focal deficiency (PFFD) or Congenital Femoral Deficiency (CFD). This rare, non-hereditary congenital disability affects the pelvis, particularly the hip bone and the proximal femur. The disorder affects James on the left side, with the hip being deformed and the leg shortened. Also, James was born with a floating hip and scoliosis of the spine.

James only truly got involved with disability sport in 2002 at the age of 16 after swimming at age 11. He used the Manchester 2002 Commonwealth Games as a springboard to my future career as a High-Performance Athlete.

There were many highs and lows along with his 10-year career in high-performance sport. James Owen Roberts quickly rose through the ranks within disability sport, and by 2003, he had already broken into British Swimming’s Development Squad. However, two years later, he was dropped from the program. James went home thinking he would become a regular student. Disability Sport Wales (DSW) performance director, Anthony Hughes, asked James to try his hand at rowing; James accepted and went on to compete at three world championships and finished 5th at the Beijing 2008 Paralympics.

Then another opportunity to represent his country once more; however, it was an unexpected call-up to the World Championships in 2010 being held in Oklahoma.

James says that it is surreal at times reading some of the old press releases, especially from his time at The University of Chester, where he studied for his Postgraduate Certificate in Sociology of Sport Exercise. The difficulty was he had to balance the Postgraduate course with his full-time training in the lead up to London 2012 back at Roehampton University, London, where Great Britan Volleyball was based.

James was very fortunate to be quite busy after the games, promoting Paralympic sport and talking about his experiences with school children in North Wales. He received an opportunity to speak at a college in London, and then in 2014, he was invited to talk on the Awaken Your Alpha podcast, which is how he ended up here with us today on the TRUE Success podcast.

What makes up a good leader?

A strong character, iron will, an inspirational persona?

We have beaten to death the argument that leaders are made, not born, so is good leadership a craft that can be learned?

Yes, anyone can be a leader.

But outstanding leadership requires persistent effort and renewed learning. In fact, learning, challenging yourself, and failure shape the foundations of good leadership.

In this podcast, I lay out five principles that form the basis of genuine and excellent leadership. You will be escorted through these steps and supplied with all the means to eventually discover and acquire these particular skills.

Growing up, Kristine always felt different. At an early age, she heard the call to be of service to humanity. For decades, she avoided her true path because she wanted to "fit in" to traditional society. By 2009 she felt depressed, empty, lost, and unsatisfied. Her doctor told her that she would not survive more than 2 years if she didn't make drastic changes. Most of her suffering and struggles were from a single decision 10 years earlier to pursue a career choice.

So she took the first step and took her power back. She left accounting behind and surrendered to her true self and pursued a divinely guided purpose in this life. Kristine's mission was to become a bridge to the source, thereby enabling her to serve others.

Allocating time within nature, praying, and meditating, she was guided to the present. In a moment, she remembered who she was and began a journey of permanent positive change. That decision drove Kristine towards hypnotherapy, spirituality, and her intuitive gifts.

In this episode, you will learn to identify the five ways you can produce more significant and more tremendous success!

It isn't easy to picture a life in which we're not racing against each other. After all, you've been taught since you were little to be the best at sports, academics and that didn't change much in business, so much so that if your neighbor gets a new car or a lawnmower, generally you make a new purchase and up the ante a little. We measure success by comparing ourselves to others. To go beyond your potential and reach your new potential, you have to get beyond the individual effort and start playing a team sport. Yes, you can be an individual success, but you're playing in the shallow end of the pool.

To expand and rise to new levels of potential, you need to join strengths with others. Connect instead of competing. You will be able to combine resources and forces and assist each other to pursue your targets. This will result in new and unique levels of success than if you ever tried alone.

This is expansion. In this episode, I break down five ways you can unlock new potential and unlock incredible benefits.

Success isn't a guarantee of happiness.

Even if you live a have-it-all lifestyle, the income, house, family, and car, something can still feel missing or wrong. Maybe it's the job, or you are reminded of an old passion you haven't made time for in several years. 

If that sounds remotely familiar, you are probably drifting. It's easy to get stuck in a predictable routine. 

What you need is change, and that can be scary for most but also exciting. It's time to shake things up, challenge your fears, and society's mandate for you. It's time to face your anxiety. 

Change can be challenging, but it is possible.

In this episode, we will discuss:
