Effective collaboration is the most important element of success, whether you’re striving to grow a company or you’re voyaging across an ocean or tundra. Without real collaboration both endeavours are bound to fail.

In this engaging keynote you’ll learn critical steps in creating a tribe that is aligned and working together, that supports each other, and that doesn’t put personal ambition and success over that of the organisation.

This is the perfect session on how to develop a “culture” that is geared towards collaboration, and ultimately: success.

My other two keynotes – Crossing the Ditch & Crossing the Ice – are highly motivating, story-based presentations perfect for motivating and inspiring an audience to open or close a conference or as an after dinner presentation.

You’ll be thrilled as I take you on an audio-visual journey through two of the greatest feats of adventuring in history.
Imagine facing white-capped ocean swells as tall as a four story building and struggling across blinding-white ice sheets as far as the eye can see. These international keynote presentations will stick with your audience for years to come.

In this lively keynote you’ll learn the critical steps that ensured I not only survived, but achieved two Guinness World Record adventures.

I’ve developed this six step model so that your organisation can apply my learnings to achieving any BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal).

Taking lessons (& footage) from surviving some of the most hostile environments on the planet I’ve created a choose-your-own-adventure style interactive learning experience that emotionally engages audiences through metaphor, creating a shared platform to explore team dynamics, decision making and key insights applicable to the real world.

A growth mindset is not just important for senior management. Your company will benefit if your whole organisation is focused on growing – from EA to CEO.

In this workshop I’ll take you through the five ingredients to growth, relating my own story as one of Australia’s 50 Greatest Explorers of All Time, and I’ll also bring in case studies from people like Lebron James & Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
I’ll finish by forming individual commitments for each of your employees so they can carry forward a growth mindset – meaning you’ll be set on a path for growth into the future.
