certified virtual presenter

Anton Guinea transforms high-pressure environments into psychologically safe high-performance cultures — delivering systems that create conscious, resilient, and safe leaders.


Anton has been trusted by 200+ organisations. He is a best-selling mindset author and strategist. Those organisations include global enterprises like Rio Tinto, BHP, as well as local organisations like the Toyota dealership.


Anton is the survivor of a near-death workplace accident. Who has represented Australia in the sports of Triathlon and Aqua-Bike.


The Boom Events that started it all:

At 21, Anton almost died from a workplace explosion (a switchboard went boom). That moment sparked a global mission: to ensure no leader ever has to tell a family that ‘We could’ve done more.’ Today, he teaches leaders, and teams, how to put people first, to act with emotional intelligence, and how to drive a safety-first culture.


At 31, Anton suffered through the WORST types of leadership (leaders went boom). Leadership that was aggressive, abusive, and abrupt ... all at the same time, and all having a devastating effect on Anton's emotional state. Today, Anton teaches leaders how to have a positive impact on their teams, and to lead with psychological safety, in a way that upgrades, upskills and uplifts teams.


At 51 (ish), Anton was on a Power Station site that blew up, literally (the plant went boom). That world scale incident cut off power to the whole of Queensland, and luckily no-one was injured. The site leaders stepped up to the challenge and led strongly. Today, Anton teaches leaders how to be better at leading under pressure.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Anton's clients:


"The program is empowering, not only by the trainer but also by the people sharing their experiences during the training course, it brings the best out in everyone, highly recommend."


"The content developed for us, to suit what I wanted to get out of the course in a 1-hour sitting was great. The course could realistically gone 2 days to cover the content I wished to go through. In the end people got what the course was about and believe we will be better for having done this training. Thanks Anton"


"Anton is great at what he does. He is well educated and listens patiently with empathy and understanding. He is a true leader."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"I'm Anton Guinea, from The Guinea Group and I'm here to help leaders UPGRADE, UPSKILL, and UPLIFT their leadership and their teams."
