Freddie Bennett

Freddie Bennett

“I learned about decision-making when a drug dealer held a gun to my head and pulled the trigger”

Freddie Bennett is a man on a mission.

Do you know anyone who went from:

Stressed, depressed, addicted, unfit and overweight corporate executive…

...To complete the world toughest footrace across the scorching Sahara Desert, fighting blizzards, frostbite and polar bears to run across the Arctic towards the North Pole, and is featured in the Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest person to ever run a marathon…dressed as a fisherman?

You do now.

Described by Men’s Health magazine as ‘The foremost expert in mindset, resilience and high performance’, Freddie Bennett is a bestselling author with ‘Starting at Zero - The Guide To Making Your Dreams Come True With Everything Else is F**ked', Apple Top-25 Podcast host, sought after consultant and speaker at a variety of leading global brands including Coca-Cola, Amazon, Microsoft, IHG, Vodafone, Heineken, PwC, Accenture, Virgin Atlantic… and The United Nations.

---------

When it comes to resilience, performing under pressure, strength in adversity and leading through change, Freddie gives you experience, insight and emotion like no other.

Other speakers talk about it. Freddie is the only speaker who has lived it.

New Zealand media calls him “The saviour of the professional services industry” and Men’s Health magazine described him as “The foremost expert in mindset, resilience and high performance”.

But this is not your bog-standard, unrelatable, ‘rally the troops’ yawn-fest delivered by a cookie-cutter, square-jawed ‘motivational speaker’ dropping tired-old cliches.

What makes Freddie unique is that he’s NOT an ex-Navy SEAL, a professional athlete, privileged adventurer or a smooth-talking life coach. He was an everyday corporate manager who battled depression, addiction,imposter syndrome burnout and and breakdown…

…then decided to become extraordinary.

Now, he proves to businesses and individuals that they can achieve the goals they once considered impossible.

---------

From Amazon to Virgin Atlantic, from Coca-Cola to Vodafone, and from PwC to Heineken via IHG, Freddie has graced some of the most iconic stages in the US, Australasia and Europe on topics like:

- Turning a Disruption into Your Unfair Advantage
- How to Create a Win In a Losing Streak
- Fit for The Future: Creating Confidence & Resilience Through Change.
- The Mask of Confidence: Why Imposter Syndrome Is Your Secret to Success
- From Burnout To Breakthrough
- ‘Time-Folding’ to Turbocharge Productivity
- The Authenticity Myth: How to Profit From Your True Nature
- Anabolic Thinking: How to create a win in the toughest of markets

My expertise spans a wide range of areas, including CAD design, manufacturing, electronics design and fabrication, automation, and PCB design and fabrication.

My multifaceted approach to product design allowed me to contribute effectively to the successful completion of the project. It was gratifying to witness how this platform addressed the diverse needs of the Kenyan setup, making a positive impact in areas such as agriculture, transport, ecommerce, and logistics.

In this capacity, I was involved in implementing innovative solutions that resolved challenges faced by individuals and industries in Kenya. The experience taught me the importance of understanding and addressing real-world problems with creativity and technical expertise.

My passion for product design and development drives me to excel in both software and hardware realms, always striving to create solutions that enhance people's lives in the Kenyan context.

In conclusion, I am deeply committed to my field and dedicated to using my knowledge and experience to drive positive social and environmental impact. I look forward to taking on new challenges and creating products that leave a lasting and meaningful mark on the world.
