The act
Reg spent 22 years in the Australian Army, most of it in the SAS after passing its selection course. He was deployed on operations to Rwanda, to East Timor, and to Iraq, and commanded everything from small teams up to units of 300, with Egyptian, British and American soldiers among them. No Australian reached Rwanda ahead of him after the 1994 genocide, and Rwandan soldiers held him at gunpoint while he was there. The US Bronze Star Medal followed for his leadership during the 2003 Iraq War. Since then he's advised the UN in New York, NSW Police during the Sydney Olympics, Olympic and World Championship teams, and the International Criminal Court, and he chairs and fundraises for charity. The talks he offers are titled Leading in Adversity, Decision Making Under Pressure, Elite Team Performance, The Energy of Giving, and one on thriving with PTSD. A lapel mic and a screen for slides is the usual ask.

Good to know
What to expect
Reg doesn't lecture at a room so much as take it somewhere. He commanded multi-national units on operations, briefed prime ministers and presidents, and was reviewing Collingwood's football department a while later, and the sessions draw on all of it to show an audience what's actually possible. He translates his own experience into what people can use in their own work. Questions and discussion are welcome all the way through rather than saved for the end. His talks carry titles like Elite Team Performance, Courageous Leadership and The Energy of Giving, along with Decision Making Under Pressure, Leading in Adversity, Thriving with PTSD, and one on living and learning outside the comfort zone.
On the day
Small rooms don't need a microphone at all, though Reg is happy to use one if it's there. For a larger audience a lapel mic is his preference and a handheld will do the job. He'd also like to be able to connect to a screen for slides.
