We had the pleasure of hosting Brooke Brown as our speaker in celebration of National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. Brooke delivered an inspiring message centered around “Always Assume Competence,” which resonated deeply with our employees.

Brooke’s ability to connect with a corporate audience is praised; she tailored her presentation to our specific context while maintaining an engaging and relatable tone. Our team was eager to ask questions and Brooke answered each one with clarity and insight, fostering an open dialogue that enriched our understanding.

Additionally, Brooke provided us with a thoughtful worksheet featuring reflection questions that encouraged deeper contemplation on the themes she presented. The lessons we learned are invaluable, and the principle of always assuming competence is now a key focus for our organization.

Thank you, Brooke, for your impactful message and for equipping us with the tools to foster a more inclusive workplace. We look forward to implementing your insights and continuing this important conversation!

Brooke was articulate, personable, funny, knowledgeable and absolutely knew her material. She presented in such a relatable way that all of our attendees felt immediately comfortable and engaged in a lively question and answer period. She was a wonderful speaker that would enhance anyone’s understating of diversity inclusion and belonging.

I wanted to take a few moments to let anyone know who may be thinking of having Brooke Brown speak at any of their events, DO NOT HESITATE! She is an amazing and motivational speaker.

I think what is so unique about Brooke’s approach is that while most motivational speakers focus on a person’s gifts and how to use them, which in some ways is easy, Brooke’s approach is to motivate the audience to not only utilize their God given gifts, but how to discover purpose in one’s limitations as well.

Brooke spoke at my Leadership conference, and the women were inspired to grow and to dream bigger than they have been to pursue their passions and goals.

It is an honor to know Brooke, and it is so easy to be inspired by her sheer will to trust in all that God has in store for her! Her presentation ADAPT and Discover God’s Plan for you is appropriate for so many different venues. Don’t miss out on this jewel!

As the marketing and promotions coordinator for S.T.A.R. – Stand Together And Recover Centers, Inc. I have had the opportunity to work with Brooke Brown on a few different occasions. Brooke has facilitated introductory and advanced Sharing Your Recovery Story workshops for the members at S.T.A.R. who are looking for a way to express their successes in recovery, while developing a deeper understanding of the recovery journey. Members who attend the training receive feedback on the story sharing process and leave the workshop empowered and informed on ways to communicate their journey and share hope with others. This workshop could be beneficial to anyone who has experienced hardship or overcome obstacles through their life’s journey and should not be limited to those who live with mental health conditions or struggle with substance abuse. Brooke is a very experienced facilitator and her preparation and dedication to her workshops shows. Her energy and zest for life and helping others share their story is infectious and it is inspiring to watch Brooke help develop our membership. Hearing the members reflect on the workshop with enthusiasm and eager to share their triumphs with others who may be struggling in their recovery is a cycle I would like to encourage. Thank you Brooke for doing your part to help end stigma!
