In 2000, Daryl survived a near-death ambush where he was TWICE SHOT a moment that forged the high-performance blueprint he now shares with audiences globally. Drawing on his extraordinary story and 30-year policing career, he arms organisations to build resilience, enable courageous conversations, develop inspiring leadership, and execute brave decisions under fire.

On 1 May 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 drew his service firearm, exited the vehicle, and took decisive action every agonising second captured on a chilling police audio recording.

Survival was just the start. What followed was a decade-long journey of grit, discipline, and more than a dozen maxillofacial reconstructive surgeries. Yet the shooting was just one chapter in a distinguished 30-year policing career Daryl returned to the frontline, served as an investigator for the world-renowned Task Force Argos dismantling global child exploitation networks, and overcame his greatest fear by becoming a police firearms instructor.

In 2006, a single question from a Police Academy instructor "Will you speak to my recruits about the shooting?" revealed a purpose far beyond sharing a war story. From that presentation, TWICE SHOT was born.

Today, TWICE SHOT is a keynote experience delivered to leading organisations globally.
Through gripping storytelling, humour, and insights forged in the firestorm, Daryl arms audiences with the actionable wisdom to perform under pressure building resilience, enabling courageous conversations, developing inspiring leadership, and executing brave decisions under fire.

Every keynote is custom-crafted, combining immersive visual production original incident audio, dynamic re-enactments, crime-scene visuals, 3D surgical reconstruction modelling, and physical artefacts from the line of duty with practical strategies your people can apply immediately.
