Human connection drives all success

When communication connects at a human level, decisions improve, teams align, and sales take off.

Meet Deon Basson

Founder of reCInate and Chairman and Founder of Spatialedge, Deon Basson turns 35+ years of behavioural science and leadership into practical systems for decision-making, sales, and communication under pressure.

A multiple Ironman athlete and two-time finisher of The Munga, one of the toughest ultra-endurance mountain bike races on Earth, Deon draws on hard-earned lessons from these extremes to shape his message. His keynotes blend data, resilience, and structured insight, grounded in the mental and physical demands of ultra-endurance sport. Deon’s talks show that when AI reaches its limits and sales and leadership begin to falter, it is human connection that drives all success and moves everything forward.

Real results. Real impact where it matters most.

Deon’s talk draws a powerful parallel between the lessons of The Munga, the toughest race on Earth, and the key principles for success in business. His focus on the importance of human connection brings attention to a factor we often overlook in pursuit of performance and results. This message is essential for any company aiming to build sustainable success. Deon’s presentation is both engaging and deeply emotive, with moments that bring laughter and sometimes even tears.

I love the way Deon connects lessons from one of the world’s most extreme races to what truly drives success in business. As someone who has spent a career in sales and been recognised among the top sales trainers globally, I thought I understood what selling was about. But the principles Deon speaks about go far beyond process. They focus on what really matters, the human connection behind every result. I would strongly encourage any sales organisation to hear this message
