JAMES CASTRISSION

Cas is highly regarded as one of Australia’s premier public speakers. He has written 2 bestselling books: Crossing the Ditch and Extreme South.

Cas has now shared his incredible story with over 320,000 people around the world. Insights into leadership, teamwork, risk management and how to overcome adversity have captivated global audiences.

In 2011, alongside his best mate Jonesy, the duo made history by completing the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time. In 100 years of polar exploration no-one had EVER walked from the edge of Antarctica to the South Pole, and back, without assistance. On Australia Day, after skiing an epic 2275km over 89 days, Cas and Jonesy made history.

Four years earlier they crossed the Ditch - paddling 3318km without assistance across the Tasman Sea for another world first. They braved 10 metre swells, howling winds, endured severe food and sleep deprivation and adverse winds and currents. They became the first kayakers to cross the Tasman Sea as well as becoming the longest transoceanic double kayak expedition. Staggering upon the shores of New Zealand, the adventurers were sunburnt, bearded, underweight, and physically and mentally wasted...but most of all happy to be alive!

Cas's store of persistence, endurance and triumph will assist you to tap into your own inherent resources in the face of insurmountable odds. When the critical voice in your head is screaming at you, learn how to make focused and deliberate actions in spite of fear. Do you have an Explorer Mindset? You too can move forward with purpose and know that with courage and a burning desire to succeed, nothing can stop you from reaching your goals.
