Wood

With his unique ability to engage with people, Dave Wood takes the audience on a journey, simplifying and navigating the often daunting and convoluted world of self development.

Dave combines theory-based knowledge and practical experiences gained from 12 years as an Intensive Care Paramedic, and Professional Ocean Lifeguard. In these roles, he was required to respond with high acuity to high pressure situations and critically unwell patients. Here he acquired and honed his skills in stress mitigation and ability to remain calm and focused under pressure. He also shares his own health journey from debilitating pain to now pain free, discussing a range of health
factors he used personally and the importance of taking radical ownership of your own physical and mental health.

Dave runs his own business in human performance, mentoring some of the world’s most elite level athletes in a diverse range of sports such as The UFC, sailing and football. His clients have included: Israel Adesanya, Emirates Team New Zealand SailGP New Zealand, to name just a few. He has worked alongside organisations and companies, ranging in professions from lawyers, firefighters, navy personnel and web designers.

The foundation of human performance is the same no matter the task. Those that hear his personal story and professional success will be inspired.
Dave’s knowledge, solutions, and protocols have improved productivity, work satisfaction and sustainable peak performance.
