Theo Venter Biography
Theo Venter is a renowned Australian inspirational keynote speaker and workplace-safety advocate, recognized as the only known person to survive a 22,000-volt, 1,200-amp electrical shock through the heart. Drawing upon this life-changing experience, Venter delivers the powerful "Just Another Day" presentation, which challenges workplace culture and safety complacency by fostering emotional connection and personal accountability among teams.
Venter specializes in engaging audiences in the oil, gas, and mining sectors, and his talks are informed by psychological insights that inspire sustainable cultural transformation. Originally from South Africa, he moved to Perth, Western Australia, and has since shared his message across Australia and internationally.
A published author, Venter co-wrote "Get Real" and "Convenience Kills," both focused on workplace safety paradigms. His work has also earned him recognition as a safety ambassador, including roles such as championing safety with RediMed.

The Shocking Truth
Theo Venter uses his own tragic story as living proof that a fatality lurks just around the corner, waiting silently in the background until someone in the workplace takes a “convenient option” (short-cut). Theo discusses the role of every individual within your organization in his must-see presentation. Not just for each and every member of your work crew or work team, but for managers and leaders alike.
If you are looking to create an intrinsically motivated workforce with personal accountability and ownership, and voluntary operational discipline, these are the 6 key lessons out of his presentation.
- Honor the agreement you make...
The best way to teach personal accountability and ownership in your workplace is to make an agreement, and honor that agreement until the end. The reward is a sense pride and achievement.
- Trust and listen to your gut feel...
Chronic unease, intuition, primal nature or limbic brain, regardless of what you call it, it is the key to unlock your Safety Brain. The inbuilt superpower that warns us that what we are about to do could end up in a disaster. The secrets on how to unlock that in your workplace are revealed.
- Dare to dream about your perfect day...
If you are reminded of your failures and mistakes, every day you become your failures. If you can aspire to experience your perfect day at work, you become motivated by results.
- Count your 5 Brave sec down...
The first step of influencing keystone habits, in the heat of the moment those 5 brave seconds lets you reflect and consider your gut feel instead of just getting the job done.
- Take a step in the right direction...
After taking those 5 brave seconds, you make choices that are driven by your “Why”.
- Find your "Why"...
The most important key learning of all. Once you've found your “Why,” you can endure any “How”. Those who have a “Why” will know why they need to be safe at work every day. This contributes to an intrinsically motivated workforce with voluntary operational discipline.
