Together Dr. Glenn Singleman and Heather Swan have set world records and accomplished trail blazing world firsts. From mountaineering and BASE jumping the spectacular peak of Mount Meru, a 6672 metre mountain in the Indian Himalaya, to wingsuit gliding rim-to-rim the majestic Grand Canyon in Arizona’s Mojave Desert, to swooping their wingsuits across the azure skies of Antarctica, the coldest, windiest and driest continent on earth. They have dreamed it, planned it, and executed it, together.
Their joint keynote speaking presentation- ‘Better Together’ - is just as spectacular and inspiring as their adventures. Commonly it is 45 minutes of inspirational entertainment and powerful take-home education that audiences deeply appreciate. As a result they regularly receive invitations to deliver Keynote addresses at conferences all over the world.
Together, Glenn and Heather have been awarded Australian Geographic’s highest honour – the Lifetime of Adventure Medal. They have appeared on 60 Minutes and Australian Story many times, and in feature and documentary films. Heather has written three books about their adventures and they have been profiled in many more books and articles.
When they’re not adventuring they’re busy with their other careers. Glenn Singleman MBBS FACRRM Dip Comm is a practicing medical doctor with a special interest in the psychology of peak performance. He is one of the world’s most experienced expedition doctors having accompanied countless trail blazing expeditions including James Cameron’s expedition to dive to the Mariana Trench and the Five Deeps Expedition that dove the deepest trench of every ocean. He has many years experience in Wilderness and Expedition Medicine and is Medical Director for many major extreme sport events. He lectures for the University of Tasmania on Extreme Sport, Expedition and Marine Medicine.
Heather is a World Record holding extreme sport athlete, the only woman in the world to successfully combine high altitude mountaineering and BASEjumping, let alone wingsuit BASEjumping. Formerly a high-level marketing and management executive, she is a successful author and photographer, a wife, mother and grandmother, not to mention an Australian Geographic ‘Women in Adventure’ Ambassador, As a highly in-demand motivational speaker and best-selling author worldwide, she combines the heart-pounding thrills of exhilarating potency, pace and world-record breaking performance with a lifetime of learnings that can be summed up in a modest yet meaningful message: If an opportunity presents itself, don’t walk away. If you don’t confront your fear, it will win. On stage, Heather propels her gift for story-telling with powerful passion that purposefully plucks at the heart strings. In person, she exudes an authenticity that accelerates you towards achieving positive personal transformations. It’s that same determination Heather brings to Dark Horse Farm, the rural holistic retreat she and Glenn steward. Nestled in the foothills of the Stanley State Forest and steeped in the legacy of gold. Offering a wide tapestry of wellness programs, it’s a place that embodies everything Heather and Glenn stand for and just another adventure in a life jam-packed with velocity, verve and vitality.
