A sought after keynote and motivational speaker, Cyril draws on his unique experience of adventure, positive mindset and natural love of life to craft unique talks that impact and challenge his audience.

Cyril is not just in it to win it. He is in it to expand limits, to rise to the occasion, to redefine possible, and to share what he has learned.

Some of his topics include:

  • The ALL-IN mindset - “The only way to get there is forward”

  • It’s ALL in the MIND - Reframe: It’s all a question of perspective

  • AIMING HIGH, DREAMING BIG - "Impossible is nothing if you allow yourself to dream big"

The most important is not my adventure itself, but the learnings I received from it, and what I can in return teach and transmit to others as a mentor and an example: going further and looking for other things in life that make you move inside, things that makes you feel alive”
