Meet James Castrission
The Founder of MyAdventure Group, James Castrission, is a famous Australian Explorer, Keynote speaker and Leadership Consultant.
On the 26th January 2012, alongside his best mate (Jonesy), he made history by completing the longest unsupported polar expedition of all time: the first return journey from the coast of Antarctica to the south pole and back without assistance.
In 2008 the duo became the first kayakers to cross the Tasman Sea.
James has led mountaineering expeditions to some of the most challenging peaks around the world, run numerous ultramarathons and sailed to remote destinations across the globe.
In 2013, he founded MyAdventure Group – a business committed to providing Australia’s premier corporate Adventure-based development programs. Harnessing lessons learnt from the most hostile environments on earth, his corporate programs are designed to develop teams and drive competitive advantage in organisations.
He holds 2 Guinness World Records for his accomplishments and is highly regarded as one of Australia’s premier public speakers. He has written 2 bestselling books: Crossing the Ditch and Extreme South.
James Castrission, 31, aka Cas, is a highly motivated, self-confessed outdoor junkie. If he's not off on an epic adventure, he's pretty much guaranteed to be found up in the mountains; climbing, trail running or canyoning.
James lives with his wife, Mia, and two young children in the upper Blue Mountains.

THE 6 STEP JOURNEY FROM INSPIRATION TO EXECUTION
In this lively keynote you’ll learn the critical steps that ensured I not only survived, but achieved two Guinness World Record adventures.
I’ve developed this six step model so that your organisation can apply my learnings to achieving any BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal). Whether it’s a roadmap to achieving your 2020 vision or launching a new product. It’s a model that will help your team build clarity and alignment to organisational achieving the impossible.
COLLABORATING TO WIN
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 keynote you’ll learn critical steps in creating a tribe that is aligned and 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.
FEEL THE EXCITEMENT AND DANGER OF TWO OF THE GREATEST ADVENTURES IN HISTORY
My other two keynotes – Crossing the Ditch & Crossing the Ice – are highly motivating, story-based presentations perfect for motivating and inspiring an audience to open or close a conference or as an after dinner presentation.
You’ll be thrilled as I take you on an audio-visual journey through two of the greatest feats of adventuring in history.
Imagine facing white-capped ocean swells as tall as a four story building and struggling across blinding-white ice sheets as far as the eye can see. These international keynote presentations will stick with your audience for years to come.

WORKSHOPS & TEAM BUILDING
ENGAGE YOUR TEAM WITH OUTCOME-BASED WORKSHOPS AND HIGH ENERGY TEAM BUILDING
A UNIQUE AND POWERFUL SOLUTION TO TODAY’S CHALLENGE WITH TEAM PERFORMANCE
I’m James Castrission, a two-time Guinness World Record holder and author of two bestselling books on adventuring, and in my past life I was also a senior management at Deloitte.
I’ve designed my workshops to meet these new challenges head on. Your employees will be thrust into a range of different outcome based sessions that are exciting, and full of lessons that can be applied directly into the day-to-day performance of your team.
I’ll help you shake things up and get your employees interacting with each other on a completely different wavelength, so they’ll stop seeing each other as “corporate colleagues”, and more like a tribe with a shared vision.

THE EXPLORER’S GROWTH MINDSET
A growth mindset is not just important for senior management. Your company will benefit if your whole organisation is focused on growing – from EA to CEO.
In this workshop I’ll take you through the five ingredients to growth, relating my own story as one of Australia’s 50 Greatest Explorers of All Time, and I’ll also bring in case studies from people like Lebron James & Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella.
I’ll finish by forming individual commitments for each of your employees so they can carry forward a growth mindset – meaning you’ll be set on a path for growth into the future.
