Jim Harris is one of North America’s foremost management consultants, public speakers, authors and thinkers on change and leadership. He was one of the first seven Canadians personally trained by Al Gore to present the slide show for An Inconvenient Truth.

Harris works with leading businesses and Fortune 500 companies and has recently completed a global consulting contract with IBM, writing a white paper on how low carbon leadership drives profitability.

His new book, Green Means Green, will be published in 2010. It documents hundreds of case studies on how environmental leadership drives bottom line benefit, especially in these recessionary times. His last book, Blindsided! is a #1 international bestseller.

Harris is a nationally syndicated columnist for the National Post. He was the leader of the Green Party of Canada from 2003 to 2006, and led the party’s rise in popularity to a level where 35% of all Canadian electors when asked were considering voting Green.
