James Jeffley is an award-winning speaker and trainer, certified facilitator and coach, author, musician and minister. He is no stranger to stages.
For nearly 20 years he has helped thousands of people across the US, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom learn new skills, improve their use of technology, set and achieve meaningful goals and elevate their consciousness to build teams, improve communication and become more successful.
As a presenter, trainer and facilitator, James demonstrates poise, confidence, knowledge and experience in a variety of subjects, and engages with audiences in a provocative, humorous style that grabs attention and stimulates learning and growth. James is currently the District 57 Toastmasters champion in Table Topics and International Speech. He is also the Region 2 champion in International Speech and was one of 9 finalists to compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking for Toastmasters International in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2014.
As the founder of "The Church of Higher Consciousness," James' mission and ministry in the world is to empower people to think higher thoughts, develop a deeper connection to their environment and elevate their consciousness.
As "Reverend UP!," he is known for his tag line, "UP! yours." It is not an insult, but rather an invitation for people to raise their lives up to a higher level of achievement, practice, purpose, peace and consciousness. Training, speaking and facilitation are an outreach ministry of the COHC.

“From the opening session to the close of the meeting (which, to everyone assembled, came too soon – a First!), James provided outstanding guidance and insight. His contributions elevated the level of engagement and real learning during the meeting to a level I had not anticipated. His powerful and persuasive voice, his quiet passion, and his well-constructed presentation combined to win over even the most “stuck-in-their-ways” attendees.
I am deeply grateful for James’ substantial contributions to CDG’s leadership development efforts. I can, and do, recommend him highly, and with absolute confidence that he can help other companies that are also intent on developing the leadership capability of their managers and employees.”
