The Circuit
Breaker Session

TM

Help your people stay calm under pressure, make better decisions, and show up with purpose—in work, life, and leadership.

This session blends neuroscience and lived experience into something relatable, practical, and instantly usable—
So your team can break their stress circuits and start making better decisions, fast.

"Everything I teach comes from lessons I've learned the hard way—this is why I do what I do."

What it does

Your people are carrying stress, pressure, and personal baggage—old patterns wired to protect them, not help them improve. It’s affecting how they show up at work, at home, and under pressure.

They don’t need another pep talk.
They need an eye-opening moment that helps them understand their reactions—
and a practical shift they can feel immediately.

The Circuit Breaker Session blends neuroscience and lived experience into something real, relatable, and ready to use.

So you see less reactivity, more responsibility—
and a culture where clarity, composure, and ownership are the new baseline.

Who it's for

This session is built for:

Teams facing pressure, fatigue, or burnout

Leaders who want their people to respond—not react

Workplaces ready for transformation—

not just another talk

“Truly one of the best presentations we have had at Drillsafe.

You could hear a pin drop. Absolutely unreal.” 

-Chris Wilson, Drillsafe Chair 

🧠 Why It’s Called The Circuit Breaker Session

​​​Stress, shutdown, snapping under pressure—these aren’t random.
They’re patterns wired into your people’s nervous systems over years of pressure, trauma, and habit.

This session helps them recognise the circuit they’re running on—
then gives them the awareness and tools to break it… right when it matters.

So instead of defaulting to survival mode,
they lead themselves with clarity, calm, and control—

In a way that lifts those around them.

From Rock Bottom to Real Change

I don’t speak on mental health, leadership, or growth because I’ve read the books.
I speak because I’ve lived the kind of hurt most people never talk about.

I’ve faced depression, sexual abuse, addiction—and the consequences of my own behaviour.

I gained 45kg trying to numb the pain after finding out I wasn’t my daughter’s biological dad.
I’ve had strokes, heart problems, and brain bleeds that stole my memory, my speech, and my ability to walk.


There was a time I couldn’t remember my family’s names—and my wife was told I might never speak again.

I’ve had to rebuild from rock bottom—more than once.
So I know what it’s like to feel stuck in your own mind. 

 

To want to make progress and show up for the people you love—but feel like you can’t.

 

So I know what real change takes.

 

Not hype.
Not hustle.
But truth. Tools. And showing up—moment by moment.

 

Today, I speak to leaders and teams because I believe in who they can become.
Not just for performance.
Not just for productivity.

 

But for themselves, their families, and the people who look to them for strength.

 

If you’ve found your way here, you’re probably not looking for another motivational speaker.
You want someone real.
Someone who’s walked it.
Someone who can help your people do the same.

 

That’s what this session delivers.
That’s why I do what I do.

"This isn’t about motivation. I’ve lost 45kg, rebuilt my life, and kept doing the work—because real change shows up under pressure.


Now I help others make that change—before they hit rock bottom."

Real change is felt personally—and seen professionally.
