    Mindset is one of the critical factors that set up the success on my world first expeditions (& set the foundation for successful organisations also). Having the right mindset is critical organisations dealing with a VUCA environment. This session will commence with an “earn your right” keynote (structured around introducing the Growth Mindset model), then launch into an interactive workshop.

  • Keynote and team build: Antarctic tent challenge
    Effective collaboration is the most important element of success, whether you’re striving to grow a company or you’re voyaging across an ocean or tundra. Without real collaboration both endeavours are bound to fail.

    In this engaging workshop your delegates will learn steps to create an aligned tribe that is working together, that supports each other and that doesn’t put personal ambition and success over that of the organisation. This is the perfect session on how to develop a “culture” that is geared towards collaboration, and ultimately: success.

Testimonials for James Castrission

James is an outstanding keynote speaker who is not only inspiring but extremely engaging. James hit the mark with the brief and his learning experience was well worth it for all of those in attendance. I would love to be able to put all of my staff through this presentation. Well done!
NSW Police

James is always engaging and the client and audience really loved his presentation.
MCI Australia

Cas spoke at a recent workplace conference in Sydney about his adventures crossing the ditch and also taking on the South Pole with his best mate Jonesy. What a truly inspirational story of endurance and resilience and his passion for what he does was clearly displayed. Thank you for sharing and would definitely recommend to others looking for a difference at their next work get together.
WESTPAC

James captured the audience with his story that showed resilience, drive, the ability to succeed, humility and humour.

Engaging, and tied the topic of leadership into his presentation wonderfully, very appropriate for the students.
Fairfield City Council

Funny, inspirational, motivational – an hour with James makes the spirit soar. He spent 62 days in a leaky boat and proved that with dedication, determination and two very brave hearts, it is possible to achieve the impossible dream, to stare down your greatest fears, to do the undoable and enjoy the pure rewards of achievement and triumph. After spending 62 minutes listening to this can-do bloke from Sydney speak, I defy you to not be inspired and embrace your own challenge and reshape your own future.
Sandra Lee, best-selling author and journalist
Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Magazine

What an inspirational story. James seem like an ordinary young man, until you hear his story and the journey they accomplished that you realise just how extraordinary he really is. The sheer passion he displayed is uplifting and inspirational.

CommInsure

Crossing The Ditch gave me the experience of hearing first hand what can be achieved through preparation, commitment, perseverance and a tough attitude. It also showed what special Australian Adventurer James really is. A truly great story which gets me excited as I feel this may only be the start for this Great Aussie Adventurer.
Ricky Stuart

He spoke of their adventure with a great balance of facts, emotion and humour, and most importantly, he linked in very well with our conference themes of planning and team-work.
Foster’s Group

His ability to describe their incredible adventure in a light-hearted and entertaining way was also balanced with clear messages of the importance of planning, teamwork and persistence, giving our clients and lawyers a lot to talk about after the presentation.

James gave us a timely reminder about digging in when times are tough and never giving up. By no means what we do goes even close to the what James and Justin have done but there are some general themes that we can take on board from their unbelievable journey. He’s a great bloke with an inspirational story and will always be welcome at the Waratahs.
