When everything is a crisis, nothing is a crisis! 


How would your organisation react if your CEO didn’t wake up from their sleep, you were hit by a cyber attack, a major storm destroyed your office, or any other critical incident struck?

Organisations that are not prepared usually enter crisis mode, which leads to chaos and overwhelm for their teams, clients, and stakeholders!

On one of my worst days on the rescue helicopter, a person we had just rescued off a disabled yacht fell from our rescue harness and back into the raging sea below, where we quickly lost sight of him. It was a horrible moment for us (and him!), but we found and rescued him again thanks to remaining calm and in business-as-usual mode.

Dave’s keynotes prepare organisations for their worst working day, using stories from the rescue helicopter to bring the lessons and frameworks to life.

Testimonials

"Dave was the keynote speaker for our ServiceIQ Business Briefings, which involved 14 events from one end of the country to the other. He was entertaining and interesting, and the feedback after each event was excellent, with people finding Dave’s talk engaging and well worth their time attending. Dave is very easy to work with, taking on board the purpose of the event and integrating this into his keynote as appropriate. He also adapted his talk and style to each venue and audience size, whether a big crowd in Auckland or a more intimate group in small centres. As usual with these things, there were last minute issues, none of which phased him. Highly recommended."
