Sean Bell

A standard Sean Bell session is a 45-minute keynote followed by 15 minutes of questions, so it slots neatly into one hour of a conference program. Given a longer slot, he adds a goal-setting workshop and runs to two hours. Sean is an endurance athlete and a co-founder of First42K, and his own story sits at the centre of the talk. What he wants is an audience that walks out ready to lift its standards and push for its best. That message carries from a boardroom to a high school hall, and he speaks to both, plus sports groups. Tech needs are simple: AV for a laptop with slides, and a headset mic, though he carries a spare of his own. Home is the Gold Coast, and he'll fly anywhere in the country.
