Braam Malherbe, a renowned international speaker, extreme adventurer, conservationist, youth developer, and author, has a rich history of pushing boundaries and promoting important causes. Among his notable feats, he has successfully run the entire length of the Great Wall of China, which he details in his book "The Great Run: Conquering the Sleeping Dragon Within: Life's Lessons on the Run," and the entire coastline of South Africa. In a daring test of endurance, Malherbe completed a race to the South Pole under -45 Celsius temperatures and rowed unassisted for 92 days from Cape Town to Rio de Janeiro.
Malherbe's career is not only about personal accomplishments but also about inspiring and challenging others. He founded the DOT Challenge, a social initiative encouraging individuals to "Do One Thing" to make a positive impact. Through his public speaking engagements, he helps others move from a life of success to a life of significance, emphasizing the importance of leadership, personal growth, innovation, change, resilience, purpose, courage, and teamwork. His motivational talks are designed to empower listeners to overcome obstacles and achieve what might seem impossible.
Moreover, Malherbe leverages his adventures to raise awareness and funds for important causes. His run from Plettenberg Bay to Cape Town was dedicated to raising awareness for the protection of species in the Langebaan Lagoon. Likewise, his run along the coastline of South Africa was to support Operation Smile, and his race to the South Pole was to highlight the problems caused by climate change. These endeavors underline Malherbe's commitment to saving the planet's biodiversity and motivating others to take action.
