MY STORY

HI, I’m Barnaby

Using my own real-life experiences, I can show you and your team how to bounce back from life’s setbacks. I help people realise that the strength and resilience they need to deal with any challenge is inside them right now.

A relateable human being telling a remarkable story

Barnaby thinks of himself as an average bloke. His story however, is anything but average. A type-1 diabetic and former AFL player, his life changed dramatically at the age of 25 when he was king hit in an alcohol-fuelled attack, leading to a stroke and permanent brain damage.

He was forced to rebuild his life and learnt to dig deep and find the power within to overcome his challenges.

When his first wife died of cancer, he had to again look within to move forward. Barnaby is a successful keynote speaker and resilience coach who draws on his experiences and amusing anecdotes to help people be the best they can be.

Get in touch with Barnaby today to have to arrange a relateable resilience coach speak at your next function.

"Rain falls on the jest and the unjust alike, but there comes a time when you just have to get over it and go and play in the puddles."

What clients Have to say about Barnaby

"There is no one I'd rather have here at Kirribilli than you given everything you've done over the last 10 years on Everyday Greatness and the joy and privilege is really all mine, because you're one of the people I think who exercises care and kindness and generosity and respect wherever you go...and I'm so happy to be sitting here with you."

Governor General of Australia Excellency Sam Mostyn AC on Everyday Greatness

“Barnaby is more than a friend of the Club, he is a Blood. To say his story is one of resilience does not do it justice. Quite simply, Barnaby is a remarkable human and delivers his lessons with candour and humour in equal measures. Anyone who spends time with Barnaby will walk away a better person."

Tom Harley Chief Operating Officer – AFL. Formally Chief Executive Officer – Sydney Swans

“As a business woman, and having the privilege of chatting professionally, I experience a lot of speakers- Barnaby is one of the best!! His relaxed, casual, fun, real chatting style is easy to listen to. He is an articulate, wise and a prepared presenter and he is committed to sharing strategies rather than “rah, rah”.

I watched Barnaby chat with 13 and 14 year olds-the toughest audience of all, and they were inspired by him and took away a stack of immediately implementable tools to grow themselves as human beings.”
