Currently we are all coping with incredible levels of disruption and change. For the past 10 years, Dr. Adam Fraser in partnership with Dr. John Molineux from Deakin University have been researching and studying how do we have a more constructive relationship with struggle and discomfort. Adam is renowned Internationally as a peak performance researcher and expert who helps organisations and individuals push beyond their potential. What is unique about his research is that it focuses on how do people go beyond their potential without the collateral damage that normally comes with elite performance. A self confessed research obsessed "nut", Adam has forged a stellar career now as a best selling author ( "Third Space" and "Strive"), keynote speaker and media commentator. Adam brings a refreshing evidence-based honesty that goes to core of the inherent resilience of human beings. Collectively Adam and Avril do not believe people need to be more resilient, on the contrary, they need to practice better self care to strive, thrive and survive!
