Topics for Ky Furneaux

  • Achieving your Goals
    Ky Furneaux spent her early childhood in a small outback town and went on to become one the top stuntwomen in the world. She employed simple strategies that enabled her to make her big dreams a reality. She shares these strategies in a memorable way that helps people create the change they want in their lives.
  • Surviving and Thriving in Adversarial Environments
    Drawing on her years as a survival expert, Ky noticed that all the attitudes she learnt to keep her alive in extreme outdoor situations were also ones that allowed her to navigate unexpected situations with ease in her day-to-day life. Simple strategies like “STOP, LOOK and LISTEN” have prevented her from rushing into making decisions that could have been detrimental to her career. Using outdoor and stunt examples allows the information to be absorbed in a way that distinguishes it from a more formal presentation. 
  • Not Letting Setbacks Define your Future
    Ky Furneaux discusses how to use setbacks to your advantage. Failures shouldn’t be seen as an endpoint, rather the beginning point to try something new. It’s this attitude that helps maintain a positive working environment in times of change.
  • Not Letting Other People Set your Limits
    After constantly being offered reasons why she wouldn’t succeed in her goal to become a stuntwoman, Ky exceeded all expectations in 2012 and won an award for being the Best Stuntwoman in the World. She talks about the importance of letting your own knowledge and belief in yourself be the guide to what you can achieve.
  • Resilience, adaptability and strategies to implement change

After watching Ky Furneaux on Discovery Channel's Naked and Afraid, she quickly became an inspiration because of her calm, level-headed and rational demeanor.
