David Knoff is an extraordinary man with an extraordinary story. A former infantry platoon commander in the Australian Army & member of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, David has served our country in volatile territory around the world. However, the most testing time of David's life begun in 2019 when he embarked on a research mission to Antarctica as a station leader of the Davis Research Station.

The global pandemic changed the course of the expedition, turning a one year commitment into 537 days of winter with no way home. David's leadership was tested, his 'why' was question & he was without any option but to knuckle down, exercise resilience & find a way to get his team through to end.

'537 Days of Winter' was not only his reality but it became the name of his now published book. A book containing the lessons learnt in the face of adversity, lessons that he hopes to share with the world through his work as a keynote speaker.

David is a great man & it was a great honour to hear his story.
