Invite Tom to Speak

It’s easy to think of survival guys as chest-thumping conquerors who claim triumph over all odds. But that’s not Tom. He understands that it is more relatable to share the crippling lows and challenges before reaching soaring highs. That’s precisely the spirit of his keynote speeches – they’re more than just presentations. They’re an inspiring immersive experience that pull you into his journey, creating a deeply engaging and authentic connection with the audience.

Tom shares how through enduring adversity, and channelling unwavering optimism, he has been able to find the resilience to overcome his own adversities in life. His captivating narratives draw from the wealth of lessons he’s learnt on his adventures – whether it’s walking to the North Pole, an unforgettable sojourn in a Bolivian prison, an 8,000-mile sail through the Pacific, setting up his very own venture, Desert Island Survival and being marooned countless times. Or, most recently, surviving in the Canadian wilderness on the TV show Alone.

The Psychology of Survival

From understanding fear and stress responses to analysing decision-making under pressure, Tom shares valuable insights into how our minds navigate and cope with extreme circumstances. 

The Power of Asking Questions

‘You don’t ask you don’t get’. Tom shares how asking questions his whole life has opened up countless opportunities to live a rich and adventure-packed life.

How Adversity Builds Resilience

Tom explores how we need the right amount of adversity in our lives to develop resilience to challenges when they arise.

How Time in Nature Heals Us

Long prescribed by doctors in Japan, Tom shares how nature has healed him of stress, anxiety and IBS. Sharing a collection of empirically proven studies, which are opening up a new insight into how we can improve our mental health through time in nature.

To ensure he can go toe to toe with some of the best public speakers, Tom has undertaken training with some of the best keynote speaking coaches available, and his own Ted X talk is coming out soon.
