Brooke’s bubbly personality, authentic delivery and natural stage presence has been pleasantly received at the hundreds of events Brooke speaks at and hosts each year.
Brooke has become a source of inspiration to many people through her story of resilience, determination and her positive outlook after much heartache is motivating. Her extraordinary personal journey makes audiences smile, laugh, cry and leaves individuals inspired to live a purpose driven life.
Missing two Olympic teams by a fingernail seems incomparable to the 3 almost tragic events when Brooke very nearly lost her life.
As a toddler Brooke almost drowned twice in a backyard pool, she survived a work place incident and had a touch and go child birth with one of her four pregnancies.
After achieving so much success in the pool and overcoming some personal close calls, Brooke experienced more heartache facing her biggest fear with the death of her second son Jack Hanson Clarke.
Brooke has continued to manage to find happiness and face every difficulty with a smile and loves nothing more than to share her inspirational story with everyone she meets.
The life lessons, compassion and growth she has learnt through her experiences gives Brooke an opportunity to share her story and the tools she has used to get successful outcomes. Brooke’s focus is on resilience, adversity, success, balance, happiness and well-being. She shares how to embrace love, leadership and internal strength in the face of your biggest challenges.
Brooke dedicates her time to her passions and aligns with charities close to her heart such as Life’s Little Treasures Foundation which helps families of babies born premature or sick. Her autobiography was released in 2009 and the profits from her continued personal sales go to this wonderful charity making a huge difference to Australian families.
Despite everything that Brooke has faced she has dedicated her speaking career to helping individuals and businesses achieve personal and team greatness.
