Barry Du Bois

Barry du Bois is one of those rare speakers who leaves a lasting impact on every person in the room. As a proud ambassador for the Leukaemia Foundation and someone living with myeloma, Barry speaks with a level of honesty, courage and heart that is truly inspiring. Time and time again, Barry has generously given his time to support our community — whether speaking to our corporate partners, supporters or our own staff — always showing up with authenticity, compassion and an unwavering commitment to helping others. His willingness to openly share his personal blood cancer journey, including the emotional and mental health challenges that come with it, creates a genuine connection with audiences and leaves people feeling empowered, hopeful and understood. Barry has an extraordinary ability to combine wisdom, humour and vulnerability in a way that resonates deeply with people from all walks of life. His speeches are not only inspiring, but practical — offering meaningful insights and strategies for navigating life’s challenges with resilience, perspective and gratitude. Every interaction with Barry reminds us why he is so highly respected and admired, both within the blood cancer community and beyond. He is an exceptional speaker, an incredible advocate and, above all, a deeply generous human being who continues to make a profound difference through every story he shares.

I recently completed Barry’s 5 Days to a Calmer, Stronger You program and honestly didn’t expect it to affect me as deeply as it did. What I loved most was how calm and grounded it felt. There was no pressure, no overwhelming advice, and no feeling like I needed to “fix” myself. It felt more like having someone steady beside you, helping you slow down and breathe again. Barry speaks in such a real and compassionate way, especially if you’re going through a difficult season or carrying a lot emotionally. The breathwork video was incredible and is something I know I’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend for anyone feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or just needing a calmer way forward.

I have had the opportunity to experience several of Baz’s keynote sessions and each one has been incredibly impactful. He is relatable, authentic and speaks in a way that resonates with a wide range of audiences, both personally and professionally. Baz has a unique way of combining motivation, life experience and practical insight. His stories are moving, genuine and often challenge you to reflect on your own mindset, resilience and approach to life and business. What I particularly appreciated was that his messages were not only inspirational, but also adaptable to everyday situations, Baz delivers with sincerity and impact. I would highly recommend Baz as a keynote speaker for any event looking to leave a lasting impression.
