You are not born with resilience. You build it.
Bart Walsh is one of Australia’s most influential fitness experts and currently serves as Head Coach for Jetts Fitness Global. While his professional credentials are impressive, it’s Bart’s extraordinary personal journey that sets him apart as a truly inspiring speaker.
Diagnosed with aggressive cancer in his early 20s, Bart faced a battle that reshaped his perspective on life. Refusing to let the illness define him, he chose to confront his pain with courage, transforming it into a source of strength and growth. This pivotal experience laid the foundation for his philosophy on resilience.
In 2020, Bart and his wife endured the unimaginable loss of their firstborn son, Aurélien, shortly after birth. Out of this heartbreak, Bart created Aurélien’s Workout—a tribute to his son’s legacy of courage and love. This annual workout not only honours Aurélien but serves as a cathartic experience for others facing loss, proving that even in death, his son continues to inspire and uplift.
Bart’s resilience was tested again when he was diagnosed with a degenerative neurological condition that threatens his ability to move, the very thing that defines his life’s purpose. Yet, he embraces this challenge with the same relentless determination, proving that adversity is not a roadblock but a stepping stone.
Combining his background in acting with his hard-earned wisdom, Bart delivers captivating presentations filled with storytelling, humor, and actionable insights. His Three Rules of Resilience, forged in the toughest corners of human experience, empower audiences to shift from a victim mindset to one of empowerment.
After hearing Bart speak, your audience won’t just leave inspired, they’ll walk away equipped with the tools and perspective to overcome their own challenges and build a life of purpose and strength.
