Daryl Elliott Green

From ambush to impact – On May 1, 2000, Constable Daryl Elliott Green was ambushed and TWICE SHOT in the face and shoulder from less than a metre away. Despite critical head injuries, Daryl managed to draw his service firearm, exit the vehicle, and take decisive action — every agonising second captured on a chilling police audio recording.

Survival was just the start of a gruelling road to rebuild his life. What followed was a decade-long journey of grit, discipline, and more than a dozen maxillofacial reconstructive surgeries. While the shooting was a turning point, it was but one chapter in a distinguished 30-year policing career. Daryl returned to the frontline and served as an investigator for the world-renowned Task Force Argos — dedicated to dismantling global child exploitation networks — and he challenged himself to overcome his greatest fear by becoming a police firearms instructor.

A fork in the road appeared in 2006 when a Police Academy instructor asked Daryl a challenging question: “Will you speak to my police recruits about the shooting?” That single question revealed a purpose far beyond sharing a war story. By analysing his experience, Daryl discovered he could equip others with a blueprint to navigate adversity, disruption, and high-stakes pressure. From that presentation, TWICE SHOT was born — a keynote experience now delivered to leading organisations globally.

The TWICE SHOT Experience is much more than an epic story of survival — it is a keynote experience designed to help teams and leaders excel when the stakes are highest. Through gripping storytelling, humour, and insights forged in the firestorm, Daryl arms audiences with the actionable wisdom to perform under pressure. Delivered with energy, wit, and raw authenticity, his down-to-earth style ensures the message lands and sticks. By anchoring high-performance tools in strong emotions, he moves audiences beyond fleeting inspiration — your people leave bulletproofed, motivated, and ready to take action.
