The Gift helps individuals and teams navigate the pressures and demands of their professional careers
‘We can sometimes lose sight of who we are and why we’re here - life will continually challenge us on that. We must actively work to return to ourselves because that’s where the magic lives’.
About
The Gift has been developed by me, James Deville. First and foremost a husband, a father and a tragic Saints supporter.
Starting out my professional career in sports I was an ‘okay’ tennis player which opened up pathways to becoming a tennis coach. After 10 years on court I found myself fortunate enough to end up at Melbourne Park where I took a role at the high performance academy working with Australia’s best up and coming talent. It was here that a skill and passion for coaching and mentoring became an obsession. This naturally flowed on to decades of work and learning around human behaviour, performance psychology and emotional intelligence.

After spending most of my junior and adult life on a tennis court, I made the transition in to the corporate world, spending time at the AFL, Red Bull, Tennis Australia, Luxury Escapes and many other global brands which further developed not just the ‘soft skills’, but also the skills necessary to drive individuals and teams to sustainable commercial success.
Now, my focus is on sharing all of that with people who may need a little support but more importantly, are invested in their own growth and unlocking the best versions of themselves. If that sounds like you, please don’t hesitate to reach out – I’d love to hear about your story!
