How to Spark Success - Episode 40 (Adapt & Thrive with Mike House)

Adapt and thrive? – Think what one of Australia’s leading survival instructors could teach you and your organisation about building resilience in times of duress.

My next #HowToSparkSuccess podcast guest shares some of his success secrets that he’s learnt over his career as a survival instructor and now expert speaker and facilitator.

Mike House worked for 20 years as one of Australia’s leading survival instructors. He is a highly experienced speaker and facilitator. As a survival instructor Mike worked with groups as diverse as youth at risk, multinational corporations and television documentary crews on what has been described as the “world’s most arduous survival exercise outside the military” (National Geographic America 1999).

Mike has survived several life-threatening survival situations on the ocean, in tropical jungles, in raging white-water and extended sea kayak journeys.

As a birthday present to himself, Mike undertook a 12 day solo survival walk in one of Australia’s most hostile environments, taking 2 litres of water, a pocket sized survival kit and the clothes on his back. Mike put his survival skills to the test sourcing all his food and water off the land – and loved the experience!

By observing and leading people in complex situations of extreme deprivation and duress, Mike has developed keen insight for how humans either panic and suffer or adapt and thrive. He sees the same behaviours in ordinary workplaces and shows people how to view their work, daily tasks, relationships and opportunities through new eyes. Mike is passionate about building resilience in teams and individuals.
