Talking Points
Embracing risk and thriving beyond your comfort zone
At the very top of the world, as in the business world, avoiding risk altogether is simply not an option. Going beyond typical risk management, Daniel Bull encourages his audiences to challenge themselves, employ effective decision-making strategies, and ultimately to embrace risk. He takes audiences on his harrowing journey from his hospital bed whilst suffering severe chronic childhood asthma, facing his fear of not being able to breathe sufficiently at sea level, to the thin air of extreme high altitude, where he pushed way beyond his comfort zone to climb the highest mountain and the highest volcano on every continent (including Mt Everest in the Himalayas and Mt Sidley in Antarctica) - the Youngest Person on the Planet to achieve the feat. Dan explores the importance of aiming high and reveals how to find the courage to step outside your own comfort zone and accept epic challenges.

Managing change and overcoming adversity
Surviving the harshest environments on the planet, from ever-shifting glaciers to dense jungle and remote deserts, these vastly different terrains are constantly in flux, making them both extremely difficult and dangerous to navigate. Daniel Bull shares his insights on what it takes to succeed where change and uncertainty are inevitable: maintaining a clear vision, seeing change as an opportunity rather than a threat, adopting the best mindset to deal with the unknown, and planning and preparing meticulously. Through his unlikely ascent of arguably the world's most dangerous climb - the infamous North Face of the Eiger in the Swiss Alps - nicknamed 'Murder Wall’, Dan demonstrates first-hand how anyone, confronted with insurmountable odds (and in his case the “point of no return”), can overcome adversity, conquer self-doubt and move past setbacks.
Managing change and overcoming adversity
Building resilience and achieving the impossible
When the stakes are high and we’re confronted with hardships, how do we maintain our focus and progress towards reaching our goal? Believing that we can all accomplish great feats in the face of overwhelming obstacles, learn from our mistakes, and bounce back from failures, Daniel Bull shares his stories about how to practice resilience in tough times and rise to the challenges in front of you. Illustrated by his most recent expedition to the top of the world’s highest volcano, Ojos del Salado, situated high within the Atacama Desert in the Andes which is compared to Mars due to its other-worldly environment, Dan shows audiences how to push past mental and physical barriers, explore innate strengths, persevere through setbacks and develop resilience and grit in the process.

Truly Outstanding! Not only did Daniel reach these incredible heights, but he has inspired and challenged us to do the same!
At Conviva, we’re entering a new era of transition, so Daniel was the perfect choice for us when selecting a motivational guest speaker for our annual SKO. This year, we wanted to focus on change in a big way, by empowering our Sales and Customer Success Teams to be agents of change and lead the market into a new way of thinking. We wanted to arm our team with all the tools they would need, plus a healthy dose of motivation and inspiration so they would walk away feeling like there’s nothing that can stop them. Daniel sure did deliver! Daniel didn’t just tell us, he showed us that it’s ok to move beyond our comfort zones and lean into change, and even the most daunting terrains can be navigated with confidence with the right mindset and strategies. Whether we’re climbing a mountain or dealing with big challenges in our professional lives, Daniel demonstrated that we can all conquer our own mountains. Daniel’s stories had our team incredibly engaged and inspired. With the incredibly positive feedback from our attendees, it’s clear why. It was wonderful to have Daniel with us!
Thank you, Daniel, for your truly inspiring and motivating story. Your remarkable achievements as an Aussie adventurer, breaking three-word records and thriving in the toughest environments for over two decades, have not only captivated our individual team members but also provided invaluable strategies for fostering teamwork, optimism, resilience, courageous leadership, and an unstoppable mindset in uncharted territory. Your speech has ignited a fire within us to challenge our comfort zones and take courageous steps toward transforming our mindset. While our journey may not involve scaling literal mountains, our metaphorical climb against fear, self-doubt, and lack of motivation resonates deeply. Your journey of constant risk and unwavering perseverance serves as a perfect parallel to the challenges we face in the property industry. Your delivery, distinct from other motivational speakers, has breathed new life into our approach. We've already integrated some of your lessons into our Culture of Care Awards Ceremony and foresee using your strategies in tackling tough projects. Here's to conquering the impossible and achieving greatness.
