Not your typical conference speaker.

Real credentials, honestly told

Rio 2016 Paralympian. Fastest above-knee amputee Ironman finisher in 11:49:20. Brant shares the failures as honestly as the wins, so the lesson feels lived rather than polished.

Practical ideas for the next day

Audiences leave with clear tools for controlling the controllable, dealing with change and owning both the good and the ugly.

Built for your room

Brant learns your audience, event goals and theme before shaping the stories and frameworks. There is no template talk.

“Brant delivered a powerful presentation to the Healthengine team at our annual event about transforming challenges into opportunities for growth. His talk was highly engaging, exceptionally-delivered and left our Healthengine team feeling inspired.”

Bree RidleySenior People Partner & Team Lead, Healthengine

Three useful angles. One honest voice.

Resilience Built From Scratch

Brant doesn't talk about resilience as a concept. He's lived it, from being born without his right leg above the knee to qualifying for the Paralympics and setting an Ironman record. This keynote gives people practical tools for the moments when motivation is gone and the work still has to happen.
