Keynote speaking

​

Gary has presented to audiences ranging from small leadership teams to conferences of hundreds across:

 

  • Government departments 

  • Emergency services

  • Corporate organisations

  • Veteran community

  • Marine and remote industries

  • High-risk workplaces

  • Community organisations

  • Support workers

  • Youth-based support

  • Leadership forums

  • Conferences and industry events

​

Every one of us has an internal dialogue. It shapes how we think, lead, respond to adversity and support others. Change that conversation, and you can change the way you live and work.

​

That's the foundation of every keynote Gary Hawkes delivers.

Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in remote diving, disaster response, crisis management and mental health, Gary shares lessons forged through real-world experience—not theory.

​

From supporting communities after the 2004 Asian Tsunami and coordinating large-scale evacuations across South East Asia to working with veterans, disengaged youth and high-risk industries in Australia, Gary's presentations combine lived experience with practical strategies audiences can apply immediately.

​

Whether speaking to corporate leaders, government, emergency services or community organisations, Gary delivers honest conversations about resilience, leadership and the power of our internal dialogue.

Real stories. Practical lessons. Lasting impact.

Be Calm -Be Patient -Be Kind.

​

Because the most important conversation you'll ever have is your internal dialogue.

​

Available for conferences, keynote presentations, leadership events and workshops across Australia and internationally.
