Not many people can say they've spoken to an audience of 2,500 people, but I can. This epic picture was taken at the 2018 Barfoot and Thompson Annual Convention. Peter Thompson gave me some great feedback from the convention and I'm looking forward to more large scale events!

Super privileged to be a keynote speaker at the first NZ Primary School Teachers' Conference in Wellington this week. I spoke to some of NZ's incredible teachers about how crucial it is for them to be prepared to step outside of their comfort zone and build effective teams!

“William’s presentation was fantastic! For most of the presentation you could have heard a pin drop, a part from the ‘in sync’ laughter and occasional oooh and arghhhh from the 200 strong audience." — Brenda Flood, AUT, Snr Lecturer, Interprofessional Education & Practice, 2018.

I love an adventure. I love being committed to something. I love making sacrifices and taking risks that others aren’t willing to. I love being a part of something money can’t buy.

WATCH || Full house. #HMNZSCanterbury is taking 46 New Zealand Army vehicles across the Tasman to Exercise Talisman Sabre and Exercise Hamel. The vehicles have to be strategically packed in for weight distribution, like a giant puzzle. #NZNavy #Force4NZ

Food and inspiration, the perfect combo. It was a whirlwind experience speaking to the team at Bluerock Foodservice and sampling some delicious treats, thanks for the opportunity!

I got my hands dirty over the weekend volunteering my time to plant trees on Motuihe Island. Since 2004, volunteers have planted a whopping 440,000 trees transforming Motuihe Island from farmland to forest. It was awesome to spend the day giving back to the community.

I've always wanted to be a TEDx speaker and when I was given the opportunity to speak at The University of Auckland ASPIREx conference I jumped at it. I spoke to all of their staff about the necessity of stepping outside of their comfort zone to achieve the extraordinary.

Taking a break on a recent trip to the Coromandel bush. Where do you like to go for an adventure? #bushwalk

Im so very sorry to hear the devastating news from Whakaari / White Island. My heart goes out to the victims & their families. Kia Kaha.

William Pike was on Mount Ruapehu in 2007 when it erupted, resulting a near-death experience and a leg amputation. Upon hearing the news of the White Island eruption, William said it 'really struck a chord'. William Pike
