Derrick McManus, Building Confidence, Courage, Capability & ResilienceDerrick McManus was an Australian Police Sniper, Diver and Counter-Terrorist operative when he was shot 14 times in less than 5 seconds, lying on the ground for three hours before he could be rescued. Doctors don’t know how he survived and predicted he would never return to work. Derrick has now developed a world first philosophy of ‘Durability of Human Performance’, which goes well beyond resilience. Derrick’s distinction between resilience and durability is so significant that the School of Psychology; University of South Australia is collaborating with him in research.
