Simon Rieter
Mental Gratitude Speaker

Hi, I’m Simon
It wasn’t just a 'near death experience'. It was a 'should have died' or otherwise medically described as 'how the bloody hell did you survive that?!' experience.
On November 3, 2017 at 35-years-old, I was driving my workmates to Hamner Springs for a social weekend.
Leaving Murchison on State Highway 7 after an early dinner break, I found myself confronted by an oncoming truck and trailer unit attempting to overtake a Campervan, ignoring oncoming traffic.
Little did I know at the time, the truck driver had been driving without the required rest breaks…

I speak about valuing your top 2-inches
While my story appears to be primarily a physical journey of resilience and determination, the greatest part was and still is, my journey of well-being.
The mind is the centre of it all. We see people achieve extraordinary feet's everyday and it's not because they have huge biceps and a six pack - it’s their grit, perseverance, attitude - it's their mental strength!
Simon Rieter now speaks to workplaces, leadership teams and community groups on the importance of well-being.
An advocate for a selfish life, Simon challenges his audiences to ask if they are really looking after themselves and more importantly, looking after their top two inches before anyone else.
How do you break from the all too common human behaviour of catastrophisation to create a life of joy, not one of doubt or worry?
