Keynote themes: crossing the ice and collaborating to win

In Crossing the Ice, Cas takes audiences on a rich audio visual journey through one of the greatest feats in modern exploration. In 100 years of polar exploration, no one had ever walked from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole and back without support. Many had tried. However, none had succeeded, until Cas and his partner made history by completing the longest unsupported polar journey. Through grit and teamwork, they turned an audacious goal into reality. As a result, audiences leave with lessons in resilience, collaboration and dealing with failure, fear and uncertainty.

In Collaborating to Win, Cas shares how he built an aligned high performance team to achieve two Guinness World Records. Specifically, delegates learn the critical steps in creating and leading high performance teams. These teams support each other and prioritise collective success over individual ambition. As a result, this session shows how to develop a culture geared towards team alignment, collaboration and eventual success.
