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.

Highly professional, organised, was here an hour early — exactly what we love when we are organising conferences. What a courageous, resilient, leadership-driven story… inspiring.” Janet Holling, Conference Director, itSMF Australia
