Every period in history produces renegades and rebels that deliberately challenge the status quo and break barriers.

James Nicholas Kinney personifies this spirit through a rare combination of being a global executive, certified yoga and meditation teacher, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion innovator, author, musician, and motivational speaker.

Kinney’s credibility truly comes from his life experience as a survivor of a near-fatal car accident where he learned how to walk again, a survivor of an eye disease that could have left him blind, and from devastating anxiety and depression after leaving a toxic workplace.

He has been featured on CNBC, CNN, CALM, and Entrepreneur.com and has spoken alongside Ariana Huffington and Gary Vaynerchuk to name a few. He is a member of the Forbes Human Resources Council and serves on several boards including Karena Dawn’s The Big Silence for Mental Health.

Kinney uses his groundbreaking work in psychological safety, meditation, mindfulness, and inclusion to cultivate courage and growth in people and organizations.
