What does it take to not just win – but to keep winning, again and again?

For over two decades, Steve Gurney dominated the world of Adventure Racing, conquering some of the most extreme landscapes on the planet—mountains, swamps, deserts, and jungles. As a nine-time winner of New Zealand’s legendary Coast to Coast race, Steve knows a thing or two about resilience, innovation, and the mindset required to stay ahead.

But Steve’s greatest challenge wasn’t one of his races – it was a fight for his life. After contracting a deadly case of leptospirosis in the jungles of Borneo, his doctors believed he would never compete again. His organs had shut down. His body was failing. Yet, against all odds, Steve made a comeback—not just surviving, but returning to win more decisively than ever before.

In his highly engaging and entertaining keynote, Steve will take you behind the scenes of what it truly takes to win—in business and in life. Expect real-world strategies for overcoming adversity, building unstoppable teams, and turning obstacles into opportunities.

With his wildly creative mind, engineering background, and infectious sense of humour, Steve delivers a keynote packed with laughs, hard-hitting truths, and game-changing insights that will leave you inspired to take on your own challenges with renewed energy and purpose.

From near-death to record-breaking success – Steve Gurney’s story is one you won’t want to miss.
