I'm a motivational speaker. I provide a range of keynotes and workshops that coach, motivate and inspire your team to higher performance.

From my unique background in business consulting and ultra-endurance adventures,  I share powerful, battle-tested tools and techniques that make your team more effective  in taking on big challenges, more resilient when dealing with adversity and just plain motivated!

I tell surprising true stories of surviving towering waves, desperate ocean chases and yawning icy abysses that keep your team enthralled, while I coach them to higher levels of performance.

After taking part in one of my keynotes or workshops your team will have the skills and attitude to expand what they are capable of, to take ownership of problems and apply themselves with renewed enthusiasm and persistence.

My expertise is in providing teams with the mental skills to take on tough challenges. 
SPECIFICALLY:
 Dealing with doubt, uncertainty and scepticism; 
 Enhancing teamwork;
 Boosting mental toughness and resilience;
 Growing leadership skills; and
 Improving compliance with safety protocols

Since 2004 Ive presented to over 500 organisations  in NZ and Australia. Ive presented to some of the biggest household brands, industry groups, small family run businesses, government departments and everything in between. Im always one of the highest rated speakers at the event, and often get invited back to present to other parts of the organisation. 

The secret sauce is the value that I bring, and that starts with the story of my transformation.

I was a couch potato, getting fat, eating fast food
on my Mums sofa when I saw a news clip about the 5000km trans-Atlantic rowing race. I was enthralled by the romance of rowing across an entire ocean ... until I found out how tough and potentially deadly it was and remembered that I didnt know how to row. So I quit before I even started.

No one was more surprised than me to find myself, two years later, at the finish line, having won the race and set a new world record. It still stands.

To do this I surrounded myself with experts and went through a master class in goal-setting and performance. I learned an extraordinary amount. Its these techniques: about how to get yourself engaged, and how to take ownership of a challenge, how to get a winning mindset, how to get a team working and persevering through adversity that I share with the audience.

How do I know that these methods work? Because I used them again to achieve a much tougher challenge, to be part of the first kiwi team to trek unassisted from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole. This was a 52 day, 1,200km journey on foot towing 160kg sleds in temperatures as cold as -40 degrees C.

You may also recognise me as the co-host of the award-winning TVNZ series First Crossings and Intrepid NZ  where I recreated the adventures of pioneering NZ explorers.

In my presentations and workshops I introduce practical skills and techniques backed by proven research. No faddish neuroscience, no interpretative dance. Techniques that your team can take back to your workplace and use immediately to deliver better results.

My approach - delivering, tailored, transformational messages through powerful anecdotes - has worked for big companies, small startups, government departments, logging gangs and lawyers and it will work for your people too.

Let me take your team on an adventure. One I promise you that they wont forget!

Whether it's laugh out loud humour, inspiration or thought provoking anecdotes and perspective, Rob Hamill's deeply moving and motivating presentations have it all.
