Josh is a Passionate, Unconventional and Widely Celebrated Keynote Speaker

His raw approach to sharing stories is refreshing and takes you through the natural cadence of life, exploring the peaks and valleys of the human experience.

His incredible success in sport has inspired him to explore the depth of his own humanity, which he shares with grace and humility. His candid observations will have you on the edge of your seat and the cusp of tears.

Josh Dueck is a champion in two respects. He has been victorious at the highest level of sport.  Beyond that, he champions the belief that sport can have a tremendous impact on a person's life.  He is courageous, inspirational and exceptionally talented. Josh Dueck is also a human being who understands the power of the competitive spirit. He is a leader who champions the potential which exists in all of us.Scott Russell, CBC Host Olympics/Paralympics“Dear Josh: Thank you for the outstanding job you did as Keynote Speaker at our 2015 Conference . Your presentation was highly engaging and truly inspirational. The feedback from the conference attendees was very positive, and your post-conference survey score indicates that you were our top rated Keynote Speaker of the past 5 years."Canada West Ski Areas AssociationDavid Lynn, President Advisers Office"On January 18, 2018 Josh Dueck was our featured keynote speaker at Do You Believe in Magic? a gala dinner at SilverStar Mountain Resort. The event was sponsored by the non-profit Silver Star Dreamweavers Society to raise funds for Silver Star Fire and Rescue. Josh held the audience of 200 spellbound with his personal inspirational story, the value of the Silver Star community and positive messages for the future. His relaxed and confident manner, along with the warmth of his personality, combined to create a wonderful presentation in which he interacted with and formed a connection with the audience. He was extremely easy to work with and generous with his time to speak with people before and after his presentation. I have also enjoyed watching Josh hold large theatre audiences spellbound as he MC’d various events at the Banff Mountain Book and Film Festival over the years. His sense of humour and knowledge of outdoor pursuits make him a good choice for any mountain themed event. I would welcome the chance to work with Josh any time in the future."Silver Star Dreamweavers SocietyPatti Lefkos, Communications Chair"We asked Josh to speak at our Managers conference, our first time ever bringing a speaker in. Leading up to the meetings, Josh was excellent to deal with and tailored his message to maximize impact with our audience. Josh’s story is truly amazing, inspiring and motivating. He is an excellent storyteller that completely engages the audience as they were hanging onto his every word. What our managers took away from his story would be hard to duplicate in any other way. Thank you for making our meeting an overwhelming success!!"Toyota CanadaCEOBlog

HistoryTriumph Through Tragedy

From humble beginnings in a small mountain town to casually sitting on top of every major podium, from the Paralympics to the X Games, this story of triumph through tragedy is anything but conventional. Inspired by a generation of mountain enthusiasts before him, it became clear to Josh from an early age that he would dedicate his life to the sport he loved, freestyle skiing. After a tragic accident on skis in 2004 Josh was given a choice; wallow in misery or shift his perception of how one can move through the mountains.
