Speaker Topics

Map It Out... Tap It Out!

We focus in, to get a clear view of where we are and what is needed to go forward. In this process we expose our potential fears of failure to find solutions that will light our desired path.

Attendees learn how to leave no stone unturned when it comes to zeroing in on a desired outcome. Taking responsibility for our actions, we recognize we are in the driver's seat and have the tools needed for sustained success. This is a notebook exercise for each individual.

The Backpack Procedure

Identifying emotional storage that no longer
serves us. We learn new techniques on how to
create space and become highly efficient in both our professional and personal life.

Attendees will learn specific breath patterns to
get clear, stay focused and access key sections of the brain. This session provides a direct link to minimising brain-wave activity whilst
maintaining a decreased heart rate. This sets up a work/life balance and enables our emotional intelligence to connect a 'winning on all levels' vs 'winning at all costs' process. This is a notebook exercise that includes group interaction and team building exercises. This exercise is important to give each attendee a practical skill they can use throughout a busy week. More importantly, it allows a sense of vulnerability amongst staff members to help each other realise that we all have stresses in one form or another and hanging onto them only limits our true potential.

The Mind Body Process

Using an in-class simulation we explore the power of our minds and how quickly we can be led to conclusions based on the over-thinking mind or ego. We learn how to 'feel' and connect to our true self vs the excess noise our minds can create.

Attendees learn how to take control of the exact outcome they want, even when fear or stress is overwhelmingly present. We learn the optimal way to talk to ourselves and the most effective way to communicate to others if they are consumed by excessive pressure or multiple tasks.

The Prepared Mind: Safety is the Ultimate Performance Tool

Mark Visser, a globally recognized expert in mental well-being, author, motivational speaker, and professional big-wave surfing champion, understands that true success in high-risk environments rests on a foundation of rigorous safety practices.

In this tailored keynote for frontline professionals, Mark draws powerful parallels between his world of big wave surfing and the essential safety measures that workers in industries such as mining, construction, and heavy industry rely on every day.

After years of training and achieving a surfing world-first known as "Night Rider", Mark’s practises were used for the US Navy SEALs, Australian SAS, Olympic athletes, two AFL premiership clubs, and serves as a trusted brand ambassador and partner to leading corporate groups.

In this presentation, Mark shares how he prepares to face some of the world’s most dangerous waves, not with fearlessness, but with careful planning, teamwork, and a mindset that prioritizes safety above all else.

This talk is structured around the same principles that keep frontline professionals safe: methodical preparation, hazard recognition, trust in the team, and readiness to adapt when the unexpected occurs.

Mark’s keynote encourages employees to see safety not as a limitation but as the ultimate enabler of excellence. Through his engaging story and striking visuals, he connects deeply with audiences, inspiring them to protect themselves and each other while reaching new heights in their work. This positions safety not just as a requirement but as a source of pride and professional excellence.

Following the keynote, an optional workshop package is available to boost individual selfworth, foster team-building, and reinforce alignment with company culture.

Who's holding the Mic?

We take a deeper look into how we operate from day to day, what is the key mental structure driving us forward? We learn how to provide support from within and strengthen new patterns for our desired intention.

Attendees gain awareness on what's happening internally, how to provide emotional stability, self-worth and confidence going forward. We learn that ignoring self-limiting problems, tough situations or potential roadblocks can often create bigger ones. A better approach is to pay attention to the internal process and provide support for it. This is what drives a sense of inner stability and confidence. This is a notebook exercise that includes group interaction and team-building exercises.
