Through tailor made keynotes and workshops, Akshay Nanavati helps organizations create a culture of extreme high performance while simultaneously building teams that experience radical play, joy and mental well-being.

Improving performance in any area is often thought to produce heightened stress and anxiety due to an increased workload. However, when done correctly, peak performance goes hand-in-hand with better mental and physical health.

This leads to increased productivity, more engagement at work, greater retention of top talent, reduced burn out, happier teams, significantly lower mental health costs, and greater profits. 

Having explored the edges of the human condition, both within and without, Akshay Nanavati has figured out not only how to unleash the limitlessness of the human potential in leaders and teams, but to do it with more play and fun.

He has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting the war in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles to find bombs), depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide.

Since then he has built a global business, spoken on stages all over the world, run ultramarathons like a 24 hour run and a 50 miler around a cul-de-sac, written a book endorsed by the Dalai Lama, conducted humanitarian work in post-conflict zones, spent 10 days in darkness and isolation, and explored the most hostile environments on the planet, from mountains to caves to polar icecaps.

Combining his hard-fought life experiences with decades of research in neuroscience, psychology and spirituality, Akshay will bring the most advanced methods of mastery, high performance and well being to your organization.

This is not motivation. This is lifelong transformation. Motivation will make you feel good for a moment. As a speaker, Akshay will give you and your team the tools to be great forever…
