John Maher – Biography

Keynote Speaker on Road Safety, family and fatigue.

John’s a husband, a dad, and a grandfather. He’s also in the unenviable position where he can speak with authority on a fatal car crash in which he was involved. John received life threatening injuries after an 18 year old girl went to sleep at the wheel of her four-wheel-drive and crashed into John’s stationary car; tragically she was killed.

At the time of the car crash John was married with four daughters (two at private secondary college and one at University), he was a successful businessman and had a significant mortgage, leased cars, education commitments etc. etc.

Four months after the car crash his employment was terminated because of the extent of his injuries, and soon after that, doctors would tell him that he would never work again. By this time John was already receiving his Income Protection benefits, the regular fortnightly payment that would become his family’s financial lifeblood for the next 16 years.

Incredibly, more tragedy was to come. Just 30 months after John’s car crash, he and his family was dealt the cruellest of blows when Carmen (age 18), the youngest of their four daughters, went to sleep at the wheel and she was killed in a car crash.

John takes you on his journey where fatigue is the villain, he tells how it is a silent and sinister killer on our roads. Fatigue cost two 18 year old girls their lives, and it could have destroyed his family.

John’s true-life story is one of triumph over tragedy, and he speaks about the strength and love of his family. As an International Keynote Speaker he inspires people to appreciate their loved ones and to understand the importance of their own life and the true value of family, and how each member of their family is truly the ‘most important person in the World’.

John is the go-to keynote speaker for corporate, where his message builds an unshakeable bond between management and employees. It builds a culture that embraces safety in the workplace and builds moral and loyalty where everyone strives to succeed and prosper together.

John is a unique Australian, and his story motivates and inspires as it touches the hearts of everyone.

There is laughter and there are some tears, but importantly he brings hope! This truly is a presentation that you will never forget.

 In 2013, 2014 and 2015, John was nominated for the National Australia Day Council ‘Australian of the Year Award’.

 In 2014 John won the Victorian “”Regional Achievement & Community Awards”” in the VACC sponsored SAFETY category.

 In 2014 he also won the ‘Ballarat Safe City Award’ in the area of Road Safety.

 In 2015 John is featured in the CommBank ‘Australian of the Day Campaign’.

YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT’S AROUND THE CORNER – (BANKING – INSURANCE – INVESTMENT)

John was a successful Insurance manager, but life can change in a heartbeat. A car crash changed John’s life forever when he was just 42, and his and his family’s lives would never be the same. Told he’d never work again by doctors, John’s Income Protection became his family’s financial lifeblood for 16 years. Valuable ‘risk’ protection lessons learned.

MY JOURNEY, A TRIUMPH OVER TRAGEDY

When specialists told John that he’d never work again, he ignored them and chose to fight for the right to live his life on his terms. With determination and the support and love of family he proved anything is possible. For John, the alternative was simple not an option. This is a motivational and inspiring journey of triumph over tragedy.
