Brooke Hanson OLY OAM

Excellent presentation that all could relate to.

Brooke's exceptional Olympic achievements were only part of her courageous and humbling life story. She inspired our leaders to live their best lives, and to tap into their determination and resilience to ride the highs and lows. Her energy and ability to viscerally connect with a group of strangers is exceptional and a true gift.

Brooke was amazing from start to finish! She was able to deal with any last minute program changes and keep speakers on track if they began wandering off on a tangent. Would highly recommend her for any future conference MC positions.

Such a dream to have Brooke Hanson join us as a keynote for our annual Women’s Day event. Cannot speak highly enough of her commitment to the entire experience & success of our fundraising endeavours on behalf of our chosen charity partner. Her generosity & authenticity evident throughout from our very first planning conversation to post-event follow up – a consummate professional & someone who truly cares, making a positive impact on all those she encounters. Every interaction so positive, uplifting, inspirational – her story one that it sure to resonate on so many levels, her amazing attitude/mindset, resilience & tenacity staggering. After many tears, laughs & a standing ovation, our guests were straight out of their chairs to meet Brooke with follow up questions, feedback, requests for book signings & photos, each of which Brooke greeted with such warmth & sincerity, completely in the moment, approachable & totally engaged throughout. An absolute pleasure & honour to work together – with feedback from so many attending, that Brooke was one of, if not the best speaker they have ever experienced – we cannot recommend her highly enough for future engagements as a speaker, MC, ambassador & just all round fabulous human!

We recently invited Brooke Hanson to attend a team function, to talk to us about her sporting and life experiences, both challenges and highlights. Brooke was very receptive to our function theme and tailored her keynote address perfectly. She has a positive, engaging style which made for a perfect connection with the team. We were so impressed to see that she had brought along her cherished Olympic medals and let the team pass them around and even stayed after to take pictures and chat with staff. The team were asked at the end of the workshop what was their highlight, and many said that it was Brooke’s address that had really touched them, and everyone certainly agreed. We really appreciated Brooke’s generosity with her time and her personal experiences, and would not hesitate to recommend her to share her amazing story with others.  We can’t thank her enough!

WOW! Thankyou Brooke for presenting an absolutely captivating, innovating and motivating presentation as our conference key note speaker. What an incredible 90minute journey and rollercoaster ride you took us on. We loved hearing of your truly inspirational story of not only Olympic success but life success and finding happiness. Brooke’s infectious smile, captivating expressive voice had us all hanging on every word. Brooke’s keynote had us holding back tears, crying with laughter and then up on our feet with a singalong and dance. It was the highlight of the conference and you deserved the standing ovation Brooke. Thank-you!

Brooke Hanson was the keynote speaker at the Knox Sport and Leisure Awards, an event held to recognise the contributions of volunteers at local sporting clubs. Brooke’s energy and passion when speaking left the entire room in awe. No matter the sporting background that people came from, Brooke’s stories and struggles were relatable for everyone. As was the theme of the night, Brooke spoke passionately about the importance of volunteers and shared personal stories about the impact of volunteers on her career, which gave many in the room a renewed sense of positivity regarding the importance of volunteers on sport from junior to professional athletes.

Even though Brooke faced many setbacks throughout, she never lost sight of her goal and has continued to smile and inspire others to enjoy their individual journey to success. Thank you Brooke, your outstanding presentation gave us a lot to think about and aspire to.

I was at an event where Brooke Hanson spoke at a Women in Clubs function. I found her goal setting insights really powerful, in fact it triggered the start of a great journey for one of my staff. She was quite over weight and ‘visualised’ herself doing a marathon. She has changed her lifestyle and so far has dropped over 20kgs. So incredible. And it all started from Brooke’s speech and her sharing her incredible journey and her secrets to goal setting. So powerful!

Brooke Hanson took us on an inspirational and an emotionally connecting journey, we valued her time, energy and passion that she displayed not only on the day but throughout her life!
A strong role model who understands life’s challenges (so she walks the walk, and talks the talk)
To have the mental strength to keep persevering to achieve her dreams was inspirational and then to be knocked down again with the loss of her gorgeous little boy, which no mum should have to endure. I don’t think that there was a dry eye in the room. Thank you for sharing your story and being so engaging, uplifting and positive about life and family.
I was completely captivated by her and am now a big fan. She has inspired me to just enjoy each day and to not think about stuff we can’t change (the past) and can’t control (the future) Love her! Also, to follow your passion. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be Inspired and Motivated.
Powerful and enriching way to close out the day. I always find interactive; i.e. how can I apply this to my work life specifically helpful.

Brooke Hanson MC Belgravia Leisure’s awards dinner 3 years in a row, as well to give a key note presentation during the main plenary sessions. Brooke comes well prepared and was very attentive to the running details of our evenings. She is engaging, authentic and effectively managed the audience to allow the awards presentation to stay on track and on time. Brooke’s keynote ‘When Silver is Gold’ was inspirational. Despite being familiar with some of her career highlights, her story telling had us on the edge of our seats cheering her along. Brooke is an outgoing, friendly and approachable speaker who is the consummate professional. We would recommend Brooke’s speaking / MCing services to anyone considering engaging her.

Brooke Hanson hosted Triathlon Australia’s annual Celebrations of Champions annual awards dinner from 2015-2018. Brooke goes to great lengths to ensure she delivers a polished performance with in-depth research, attention to detail with a personal touch. She also brings her own wealth of knowledge from past functions that we have adopted into our night. Her warmth, and infectious personality brings another depth to the evening, with a special blend of professional yet personable touch that is entertaining and dignified. A very special mention must be made of her delicate skills at seamlessly smoothing over any issues that arise. Brooke has become part of the triathlon family, and we are thrilled that she is able to continue to host our night of nights, made even more special because of her.
We cannot recommend Brooke highly enough to anyone considering selecting a host for their function.

Brooke Hanson; captivating, heartfelt and real. On behalf of all of all the Women In Surf team and Palm Beach Surf Club, we wanted to say a very big heartfelt thank you to Brooke for giving up her time to support our event. The panel is such an important element to the day and no doubt a contributing factor behind why our ticket sales were the best we have had in the history of our annual event. Feedback from a number of ladies who have attended a number of times have said the panel was the best they have heard from yet!
