Freediving Through Fear: Mental Fitness to Unlock Capabilities We Don't Know We Have

At -79 metres on a single breath, Mental Fitness isn't optional — it's what keeps me alive. In this keynote, through storytelling and real-life experience, I teach your audience the 5 scientifically backed tools I rely on, and get them practising before they leave the room.

This isn't wellness programming, it is performance architecture. The same methods I've proven work under literal life-or-death pressure, applied to how your teams handle theirs.

What Your Audience Will Learn

Dissolving decision paralysis, imposter syndrome and presenteeism

Building sustainable high performance even under pressure
