Topics for Justin Jones

  • Daring to dream then riding out the storm
    The story of why two young successful Aussies sacrifice everything to achieve a seemingly impossible dream; to become the first to paddle across the Tasman Sea. In this mindblowing account, Justin Jones shares with the audience what life on the Tasman was like; the good, the bad, every lesson learnt, and every wave inbetween. 
  • To hell and back: A journey across a frozen wasteland
    Starting with very limited experience, Cas and Jonesy spent years researching, consulting with international experts, training in the Arctic and NZ, and rehearsing the skills needed to survive in the highest, driest, windiest and coldest place on Earth. On the ice they were pushed to their very limits and almost didn’t return; Antarctica was a ruthless mistress. Staring at the brink of death and defeat, they were able to methodically refocus and regain control over their fate and ultimately, succeed. The end to this journey will move the stoniest of hearts.
  • Double header presentation
    A presentation Justin Jones does with his wife focused more on the most recent expedition.  
  • Conquering the Tasman: The sum of many parts workshop
    Focusing on the kayak across the Tasman, Justin Jones explores indepth, the lessons learnt from this expedition. Your team will go on a journey running down every wave and crisis met, and facing the decisions that had to be made by Cas and Jonesy in the middle of the Tasman Sea. Your team will make decisions and then analyse what went wrong and why. 
  • Antarctica: An expedition into resilience workshop
    Down in Antarctica, you have to be reliant on only you and your team. All the plans that you have put together over the previous 3 years culminate in the next 3 months. In a blizzard, there is no rescue. This workshop focuses in particular on the consequences of one’s actions and the resilience needed to overcome crippling adversity. 
  • Lessons learnt from adventure workshop
    Focusing on the 12 lessons that he has learnt from Adventure, this workshop uses both expeditions and all his experiences to take the audience on a fun and informative journey through what adventure has to teach us all and how we can apply it in our lives.
  • Business growth: A leadership journey workshop
    Justin Jones has partnered up with management consultant and master facilitator Steve Lennon to create a punchy workshop aimed at the leadership journey. It focuses on the fact that no leader is perfect but has to adapt to each stage of business/expedition they are in.
  • Adventure thinking expeditions
    Think immersive adventure and epic, hyper-fresh food extravaganzas for small corporate groups. Each event is highly curated, small group and fully immersive. Clients are involved in sourcing and gathering of the food (ie lobster, abalone, oysters, veggies etc) - so it gives a very different perspective on the regular ‘gala’ dinner. It straddles that tension point between luxury and hardship that adventure brings and fosters true growth. Justin's aim with this offering is to enable connection. Connection between members of high performing teams and connection with the environment that we all live, work and play on. In doing so he wants to enable them to make better decisions for the planet and future generations.

Justin Jones (Jonesy) is truly an inspiration. His story is engaging, his style is energetic and witty, and he is relatable even though most of our audience couldn’t even have dreamt of doing what he’s done. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

University of NSW

This is the gripping and inspirational account of two ordinary blokes deciding to shake off their slack city ways, climb out of their fat comfortable ruts, and use their brains, their brawn and their sheer awe-inspiring courage to turn themselves into modern-day supermen and double handedly prove that the Age of Adventure is not over.
Peter FitzSimons
Best selling author, Ex Wallaby

At first you ask ‘Why’? Why do some individuals risk everything to test the boundaries of endurance? Like all great stories this one offers answers. Through its humour and tears, its aspirations, perils, follies and ultimate triumph we learn what it is to be human. That, together, we negotiate the chaos of the world by relying on the better, more heroic, parts of ourselves.
George Miller
Oscar Winning Director

...one of the greatest adventure stories of this decade!

His ability to describe their incredible adventure in a light-hearted and entertaining way was also balanced with clear messages of the importance of planning, teamwork and persistence, giving our clients and lawyers a lot to talk about after the presentation.
Minter Ellison Lawyers

It’s more than a tale about two mates and their passion for adventure. It’s a story about mindset; the influence of positive thinking. It’s a story about planning; a well thought out approach. It’s a story about what to do when things don’t go your way; risk taking and risk mitigation. It’s a story about motivation, sheer grit and determination; a genuine desire to never give up no matter what. But most of all it’s a celebration of success: a wonderful journey with one of the finest young Australians you and your business partners will ever meet.
ING Direct
