Dr Glenn Singleman & Heather Swan

Dr Glenn Singleman and Heather Swan are a husband-and-wife team of world-record holding extreme sport athletes, high-performance wingsuit pilots, and climbers. They are passionate advocates of a lifestyle that optimises health, fitness, emotional resilience, and the pursuit of personal potential.

Both Glenn and Heather are highly sought-after keynote speakers and trainers, specialising in inspiration, peak performance, and fearlessness. Their talks combine captivating stories of extreme adventure with practical strategies to overcome fear, build physical and emotional strength, and live life to its fullest.

They have received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Spirit of Adventure Medal from Australian Geographic, and have been featured three times on 60 Minutes, twice on Australian Story, in the internationally acclaimed documentary A Search for Freedom, and in countless other media stories.

Glenn and Heather’s adventures together are extraordinary. They have achieved three world records and two Australian records in extreme sport, including the Guinness World Record for the highest BASE jump in a wingsuit (6,604m from Mt Meru in the Indian Himalaya, BASEClimb 3 project) and the first and only wingsuit crossing of the Grand Canyon on 9 April 2015. They have flown across Sydney Harbour, Brisbane city, Lake Eyre and Wilpena Pound, and climbed mountains in Nepal, Pakistan, New Zealand, the USA, Canada and Europe.

Their partnership began when Heather attended one of Glenn’s keynote presentations. At the time, she was a corporate executive managing one of Australia’s largest speakers’ bureaux. Inspired by Glenn’s authenticity and energy, she embraced an adventurous lifestyle, developing the skills and mindset to become an extreme sport athlete herself. Heather has since studied fitness, nutrition, and meditation to support both her adventures and her work helping others achieve their potential.

When not adventuring or speaking, Glenn and Heather live on their 100-acre farm, in Yackandandah, North East Victoria. There, they grow much of their own food organically, regenerate a wetland, plant trees, and care for 11 horses, 3 dogs, 2 sheep, and 6 chickens. Heather is also the author of three books and numerous articles, and pursues her passions for meditation, exercise, horses, writing, and photography.

Their lifestyle reflects their philosophy of holistic health and peak performance: daily trail running, a mostly vegan diet, mindfulness, meditation, and consistently challenging themselves intellectually and physically. Together, Glenn and Heather continue to set and achieve ambitious adventure goals while inspiring others to explore their own “what’s possible?”.
