- Positive Mindset
Fuelling your body to keep your mind switched ON. Meaning not showing up for work hungover from the night before or having eaten McDonalds all week. This puts you and your work mates at greater risk.
We all have tough days at work but if you tell yourself enough times, today will be a good day, you start to believe it.
Negativity breeds quickly. There is no reason to focus on things you can’t control. Break the negativity cycle by developing 'Triggers' to switch the positivity back ON. One trigger Steven used during his skating career was a sign on the ceiling that read ‘this is the Olympics get up’. It's the first thing he saw every morning when his alarm went off at 430am. He knew if he didn't get up and got beaten at the Olympics that he’d regret it. What Trigger can you develop to keep your mind switched on to positive? No Regrets! - Teamwork
The ‘jack of all trades’ doesn't really exist anymore. You need to become expert at your role and rely on your teammates/workmates to execute their role properly as well. A team is only as good as its weakest link. - Experience and Judgement
Rules, guidelines and procedures are in place for a reason. Usually because somebody in the past has cut a corner to save a little bit of time to clock off 15 minutes earlier, resulting in accident, injury or even death. Most Aussies gain experience and judgement by learning from their mistakes and then getting it right. The consequences of this attitude in the workplace can be dire. The best way to get experience and judgement is to listen and learn from those who have been doing what your doing for a lot longer than you (normally your superiors). Short term gain = Long term pain. - Steven’s own injuries and recovery process from:
- A skate blade skewered his thigh. It cut all 4 quad muscles and 3 veins, causing him to lose 3/4 of his blood in 60 seconds (audience sees the crash video). Steven could feel his eyes closing, his organs shutting down. He knew if he lost consciousness he was going to die and that was not an option. After almost dying on the ice ‘a bad day at the office’ didn’t seem so bad. This positive mindset allowed Steven to pursue his goals with more passion than before.
- A broken neck during a training crash and wearing a halo brace screwed into your skull for 2 months (audience sees photos). During that 2 months Steven had lots of time to think about the ‘Big Picture’. People often overlook thinking big picture, and in the workplace, this leads to complacency.
After he broke his neck everyone around Steven told him that it was time to quit, the doctor told him he would never skate again. Steven went to another doctor. The big picture told him that after the halo brace had been removed he had 18 months until the next Olympics. Before breaking his neck Steven’s had one goal in life – Olympic Gold. After 3 Olympics campaigns it had not been achieved and was no longer realistic. This is where Steven’s mindset changed from Outcome to Process. He longer cared where he finished at the Olympics he would just do everything he and his team knew to the best of his ability every single day for 18 months and see what happened. In the workplace goals and OHS are achieved by focusing on the process not the outcome.

Testimonials for Steven Bradbury OAM
Steven was OUTSTANDING at our APAC conference in Singapore and was the highlight of our event. He established a great connection with all of our delegates, had time to talk with everyone after his presentation and was engaging, funny and insightful in his delivery. We will definitely look to engage his services again in future and can highly recommend him.
Polytan
Steven was the keynote speaker at the F5 Agility APAC Conference in Singapore. He was motivating, entertaining and had the audience in the palm of his hand for the entire hour. This is commendable when speaking to 500+ people from various countries in Asia where English is not their first language. His success strategies were well tailored to the conference theme, his use of Audio Visual was brilliant and the way he involved members from the audience onstage in his lactic acid test brought the crowd to its feet. I will be recommending Steven's services.
MD and Founder
MCCorkellL & Associates
In his Last Man Standing talk Steven Bradbury was able to engage an audience of various ages. He not only had them interested in the narrative, but very successfully interwove a number of important values into his talk. I found the manner in which he was able to show the relationship between present effort, discomfort and possible annoyance with future achievement and success not only comprehendible, but relevant to the ages in the audience. This reinforcement of the qualities of resilience and perseverance was very effective. Steven's advice on the setting and attaining of clear goals was also a useful and focused example of what our senior students need to do. The adults to whom I have spoken thoroughly enjoyed his talk and the students found him engaging.
Head of High School Service
UWCSEA East, Singapore
Steven is a skilled presenter, engaging, entertaining and able to present a clear message that stays with the audience because it is relevant to their lives. Through the use of many examples from his epic journey as a young teenager through to Olympic glory and fatherhood, Steven was able to articulate very clearly the values of hard work, persistence and together with the support from his family, Steven was able to achieve the success that he richly deserved. It is with much pleasure that I highly recommend Steven’s presentation to school community groups who are considering the services of an inspirational keynote speaker.
Head of Counselling
UWCSEA Dover, Singapore
The key points from Steven Bradbury’s presentation that I thought were most relevant for our students (and indeed for us all):
1. Success doesn't just happen, It is the result of perseverance and hard work.
2. In order to gain success, you have to want it. You have to set your goal.
3. There are people who support you, maybe even sacrifice some other things for you to reach your goal. If you share your goal with them, you have to trust them to help you get there, especially when it gets hard!
Head of Counselling
UWCSEA East, Singapore
Hard work has made it easy. That is Steven's secret. That is why he wins. He is also a fantastic speaker and entertainer.

Steven Bradbury visited UWCSEA East Campus and delivered a talk to students, parents and teachers which they thoroughly enjoyed and which inspired all ages of attendees. Here are some of the comments from participants:
One of the things I learned from Steven is to never give up, fight through it if you want it. You might not get it at the first time, but you definitely will, don’t let anyone or anything stop you.
Student
I found Mr. Bradbury not only to be one of the funniest presenters I've ever seen, but also to have so much enthusiasm in the way he spoke that just his body language and air of personality is enough to inspire anyone to go for their dreams. On top of this he actually did have a lot to say, he talked about all the things he had accomplished and about the dedication you need in order to do succeed in life. I walked away a very inspired individual.

Director
Centre for International Education
Steven is a legend. We have had him speak at 2 of our events now - he is always so great to work with. His session was fun and engaging and always a highlight of our events.
The Faculty
Probably one of the best speakers I have heard. Very relevant.
Shore Hire
Steve surprised me with his prior research, humility, hands on approach and diligence to the Linfox Active Recovery project. He speaks well with empathy and humour making the seemingly dull, but necessary topics around safety engaging for all. As a recently self-insured company Linfox wanted to reduce cost, increase moral, reduce risk and speed up recovery time for injured employees. Steven nailed this brief and presented approximately 25 times around the country. Anyone who wants their team to be motivated, entertained and inspired Steve is the man!
Gorman Enterprises
The feedback from your 3 x 1 hour safety presentations has been fantastic. I had a conversation with one of the contract staff before your first presentation and suggested that the presentation would be one of the best hours of his life. He just looked at me as though I was mad. I caught up with him after the session and asked him what he thought: He said, not quite the best hour of his life but it was bloody good. Your presentation style was entirely appropriate for the audience. The impact was enormous and will provide us a base to improve our workplace safety and culture. “Doing a Bradbury” will be the talk of the site for many months.
HSSE Lead, Clyde Project
The Shell Company of Australia Limited
Thanks for an amazing afternoon with the boys during our safety day. You really drove home the importance of working as a team and following procedure. I’m confident this will have a positive impact on our company OHS. Everyone is still on a high and talking about your presentation the next day!
Lend Lease
I have had so many compliments about the day – everything ranging from “Our best lunch ever” to “How do we top that for next year ?”. It’s not easy coming up with good speakers every year but you nailed it. A special story with a lot of Australian humour thrown in. When you sent me your bio and it said you were a comedian I questioned it, but the room was in stitches, the combination was just perfect.
Manly Rugby Union Club
Would not fault Steven in anyway! He will get a lot of referrals from this event. Some attendees had heard him before and commented how he has changed and is still getting better and better. They liked that he did not just talk about the Olympics. His comedy routine at the start was unexpected, funny and fantastic.

Heard Steven 12 years ago whilst living in Sydney. Brought him to Hong Kong to speak to 500 people at a charity dinner. Knew it would be good, but 12 years later it was outstanding. Helped raise HKD2.5m for the charity. Class act. Mix of comedy, motivation and humility. Perfect and many thanks.
Cathay Pacific
Steven, Nothing but positive feedback from all who attended. You were engaging, provided a positive message and pushed the key themes we needed. Absolutely money well spent engaging your services……cannot commend you highly enough. What was a highlight was how approachable you are and how you engaged with all the people at the conference. Being involved with a lot of conferences and having seen a number of motivational and conference speakers… you are the top of my list. I will defiantly be looking for your engagement at future conferences

I’ve been with Poolwerx for 13 years, your key note was the best I’ve ever seen. You took us on an amazing ride that had a profound impact on all in the room. A couple of our 20 year veterans also said it was the best that they’d seen.
Seeing you helping some of our supplier partners setting up on day 1 was brilliant, and the event was Buzzing for 3 days after your keynote. You set the event up in spectacular fashion. I reckon we’ve got a heap of our people around the country with their “positive turned on” and will have for some time to come – Me included.
Chief Services Officer

I recently had Steve speak at one of our events. This was the third time and once again we have had glowing reports from our guests. He is intelligent, witty, entertaining and inspiring. One of the best speakers you can get and he delivers every time. Cant wait to have Steve back again for future events.

Your contribution the Davey Bickford conference was invaluable and it was great working with you.

You have a terrific story that will resonate for a long, long time. Thanks again.
General Manager

Steven was not at all what was expected and after hearing him discuss all the history, challenges, training and other obstacles he overcame the whole story is a very different one. He was the absolute highlight of our meeting and the team are raving about him still. He really put a different perspective/spin on things and many of us had ah-ha moments.
Amgen Australia Pty. Ltd.
Can I just start by saying how brilliant you were! Such an honour to hear and learn from your story - truly inspiring. Accepting the gold medal for 15 years, not 90 seconds speaks volumes for your maturity and given how hard I work, I know that I am not defined in 1 day! You would be a great speaker for our events, will be in touch!
Managing Director
Microsoft Australia
We were indeed fortunate to have Steve Bradbury present to our extended team twice over two days at our Safety Training Day, and also to our local High School in-between our work sessions. Steve's relaxed and engaging style had everyone hanging off every word. While being extremely funny, Steve's message of focus, hard work, persistence under pressure and just making sure you ‘turn-up’ every day also hit home with everyone. Comments received were on how applicable Steve’s message was to Safety as well as applying to professional and general life. The school kids were obviously awestruck and 100% engaged over the course of their 45min presentation, and were also able to recite the same key messages as received by the workforce. I would have no hesitation in recommending Steve to anyone that wants a motivational speaker who appeals to a wide cross section of people and can relate over a range of topics.
Geological Services Field Operations Manager
BHP Billiton
Steven was the keynote opening and closing speaker plus MC for the most recent Laser International conference in Hawaii. Wow did he deliver, personable, inspirational, funny and totally hit the mark with all the members and their partners.
We are looking forward to working with him again in the future. He was also the last man standing at the bars when socialising with the delegates.
Awesome stuff Steven!
Sales And Marketing Manager
Laser Plumbing and Electrical
Our team responded extremely well to Steve’s delivery style and his story fitted beautifully with the Winners & Losers theme for the night. His ability to tell his amazing story with humour, passion and humility really won over our delegates. It had a bit of everything – particularly enjoyed the audience participation and his commentary during the video presentation. I would certainly recommend Steve for anyone wanting to hold an event of a similar nature.

Steve recently presented at a series of Finance And Systems Technologies (FAST) Professional Development Days to great acclaim. He actually received a standing ovation in Sydney after his presentation (unheard in of Australia). FAST CEO Mr Steve Kane said ‘Steve’s presentation was very entertaining and his messages of passion, persistence and teamwork were spot on’. I could not recommend Steve highly enough and will definitely use his services among other clients in the future.
MD
Frontrunner Consulting Group
Steven is a dynamic and engaging speaker. His speech on team work and support networks was relevant and timely in our changing world and workplace. He shares interesting information in a format that both educates and entertains. I would highly recommend him to any individual or organization looking to increase their knowledge of and skills in dealing with challenges in their personal and professional lives. Steven did an outstanding job on getting our attention and holding it for the entire speech. Everybody enjoyed it and I believe his message hit home with and will inspire some of our people to push out of their comfort zones and broaden their horizons and accomplishments…Thank you on all counts Steven ! I will recommend you to our other functional departments.
Amber Cooper Lion
On behalf of the Sunshine Coast Council, I would like to extend a thank you and congratulations to you for your services as MC at our Australia Day Awards 2011. There has been nothing but praise and thanks from all who attended, especially regarding your humour and relaxed style behind the microphone.
Senior Events Coordinator
Sunshine Coast Council
It is without reservation that I provide this endorsement for Steven Bradbury.
AMP used Steven as MC at our financial planning conferences held in the key capital cities around Australia. Steven, as the MC, made a major contribution to the success of all five events. His MC style appealed strongly to the audience and his ability to relate some of his life experiences to the messages on the day were first class. Steven was also keynote speaker at our National conference in 2008. Bringing him back as MC for our state conferences in 2011 was a big success and I would highly recommend him as both MC and motivational speaker. He has broad appeal for business and private functions or conferences.
Director
AMP Financial Planning and Services
All of our delegates were very pleased to have had the opportunity to re-live with you, the marvellous victory that you achieved at the winter Olympics. Your speech, together with the video of the race, captivated our delegates and left them all with the clear message that if you worked hard and kept trying, then anything is possible.
Retravision Australia
Steven was really lovely and very nice to work with. He was professional and very keen to get involved in all the activities during the day. The public loved him.
Corporation of the City of Adelaide
Steve was genuinely entertaining. As part of the debate and to brief he provided an extremely amusing yet relevant piece in his summation that left the audience both on the edge of their seats and in throes of laughter. He fully deserved the thunderous applause. He tolerated the never-ending adulation and requests for photos and autographs with good humour and a smile and was an excellent representative.
IAG
Very likeable, approachable, funny guy. Interesting history that few knew about.
Hoyts
Excellent. Steven was very well received by the audience and he was funny and informative and able to relate back to the brief.
SSA Global Technologies
Steve did a great job and regaled us with stories of accidents, Salt Lake and his feelings when he won the Gold Medal. He was candid, approachable and very down to earth.
Mellon
Steve was an excellent presenter and was very well received by our delegates. We all relived the gold medal with him as well as learning the cost of getting to that race. It was really a matter of "never, ever give up. Steve was also very generous with his time, staying for morning tea with our delegates, and then returning for lunch so that everyone could have photographs and signed copies of his book. He is a lovely young man, and I wish him the best for the future.
The Mawson Group of Companies
Steven shared the MC platform with TV celebrity Melissa Downes to host Quest Newspapers annual YoungStar Awards, the event was attended by around 600 people including the Deputy Premier, Ministers for sport, arts and education and other leading dignitaries such as local mayors and business leaders. Steven's performance as MC at our awards night can best be described as refreshing, humorous and definitely not your traditional stand up presenter. If you are looking for Different, Quirky and Memorable, Steven could well be your man!
Quest Community Newspapers
Steven was amazing - the best keynote speaker I have ever seen (and I have seen a few!) I read his book on the weekend and couldn't put it down. What an amazing story - I am so glad he told it.

Conference org. Crane Ind. Assoc.
I was lucky enough to be on the list of people invited to a super Westpac Breakfast today, and the bonus was hearing Steven speak. It struck me how badly his achievements where recorded by the press at the time, how all the effort to just be there was so badly overlooked. The logic of his success is something I have found very useful in the way I have developed my business, thinking about long term success through consistent effort, avoiding the limelight, but secretly hoping one day your efforts will be recognized. Maybe his medal was the most deserved, all the richer for all the time it took to happen.
David Shaw, audience member
I would like to thank Steve sincerely for the great presentation that he provided to our MasterClass 2007 conference. His story was both inspiring and motivating and certainly gave me and most of the others in the room a tremendous lift. Last Man Standing is a story of triumph against adversity and his story is without doubt one of the greatest Australian sporting moments of all time.
Future Financial
Thank you again for being the guest speaker at our luncheon. We have about 5 luncheons per year and many agreed that this one was the best ever. Your numerous business (through your skate making company), life and sporting experiences were extremely relevant to the hard work required for success in any field. It was the most highly entertaining and your presentation was a breath of fresh air compared to most speakers and you are very easy to deal with. People are still talking about your story and it made Front page of our local paper The Observer on Saturday 12th May.
GAPDL
On behalf of the farmers, researchers and regional participants associated with the national Grain & Graze program, I write to thank you for the utterly brilliant presentation you gave last week. Wow! No-one left the dinner without having taken away a totally new perspective on how to give their all in any endeavour they pursue. You had the audience spell-bound not just by your own incredible story, but by the possibilities that they too may one day have an incredible story to tell. For days we talked about one key message or another that you presented and as a result, you not only made the dinner enjoyable and successful, but indeed made our whole event successful. You certainly touched all the right buttons, cleverly tailoring the messages by knowing your brief well.
As a speaker, your presentation style and skills are indeed unique, standing you apart from the myriad of after-dinner speakers I have engaged previously. Your professionalism shines through as much as your shear enjoyment of all that life throws your way. I do hope that you never lose your relish for speaking, your humbleness or that larrikin persona so many Australians instantly relate to. Perhaps I shouldn’t say this, but you do underprice your services compared to your speaker-circuit competition, particularly given the rapport you establish with your audience.
If ever I feel a group’s batteries getting low, I know exactly where to go to get the required recharge. Thank you again for sharing your story and inspiration.
Grain & Graze
Steven was outstanding, so much so, you could hear a pin drop in the room. I would highly recommend him to any group. He was down to earth, natural, and yet extremely professional. He took the time talk to everyone afterwards, and stayed well into the night, allowing people the opportunity to talk to him and have their photos taken with him. He was definitely the highlight of our conference, a real inspiration.
Onesteel Ltd.
"Steven Bradbury was an exceptional speaker."
"HP has made an excellent choice with Steven as a speaker."

"Steven’s session was very inspiring and helped convey the spirit till the end of the day."
Comments from the audience from HP - (Hewlett – Packard)

Really wanted to say a big THANK YOU for all your assistance with our National Sales Meeting. The event has been deemed a success and you certainly contributed to that outcome. It was a pleasure working with you and I really appreciate the professional service you provided. It is a dream working with people who actually make life easier! I have sent a survey to the participants at our Awards Dinner and received a lot of positive feedback with regards to your presentation eg. Fantastic, brilliant, excellent – well worth it, awesome, great, excellent choice, great story. This is obviously a reflection of the effort you put into your presentation before the night and I appreciate your enthusiasm and passion to deliver an enjoyable and inspiring story. Thanks again for taking the time to be with us on Hamilton Island and I look forward to next time we can work together.
Smith & Nephew Surgical Pty Ltd
We were looking for a speaker who could engage a group of people who had encountered the most difficult period in the their working life. Steve Bradbury not only engaged the group, but was able to communicate a number of key messages that lifted the feel of the entire conference. His messages were extremely strong and could be easily assimilated to the audiences personal situation. The feedback from Steve's presentation has been overwhelming, we would recommend Steve to any business who is looking to re-energize and engage.

Please accept my sincere thanks and congratulations for the superb job you did as MC of the Awards Night at Longreach a week ago. From my previous experience hearing you as guest speaker at our National Sales Conference last year, I knew that the MC role was in the most capable hands. The result at Longreach was a most enjoyable and memorable one for all present, due in no small way to your relaxed and humerous management of the night, together with your warm interaction with the crowd. As subsequently discussed, we would greatly appreciate your involvement as MC for our annual Fleet Golf Day dinner, as well as at other Dealer and Customer events where I have every belief that your expertise in that capacity will ensure a most successful occasion

Steven was excellent and really added a extra something to the evening. His story was very enthralling and was told with a great mix of genuineness, humour and inspiration. I am sure everyone left a bit inspired and also with a huge amount of respect for Steven and his achievements. It was a story/presentation that offered something for everyone.
Australian Grain Industry Conference
Steve was excellent to work with and very easy going throughout our dealings with him. His relaxed style and manner were perfect for the event and people enjoyed having him around for the whole night and chatting to him during the evening. The chance to see / hold his medals & have photos taken with him etc was also greatly appreciated by many of the guests. His story was very inspirational and kept the audience captivated. He was entertaining, funny and thought provoking. Overall an excellent speaker, who was well received and a really good bloke. Definitely added value to the event & was good to meet him.
