Brad Hook is a globally respected author, resilience expert, and keynote speaker trusted by leading organizations across sectors—from finance and healthcare to tech, education, and government.

With 20 years as a technologist and a decade leading human performance programs, Brad delivers high-impact motivational keynotes that combine science, storytelling, and strategy. He is a leading voice in purpose and fulfilment (here’s a recent article in Stuff, New Zealand’s largest news organisation).

Bradley is a super slick operator and quite honestly, the star of the two days training. His subject matter expertise was exceptional; delivery style was masterful and was a true inspiration to witness speak.

Brad’s session went down really well with the team, with so much positive feedback on the content and a number of comments along the lines of “Best training I’ve ever done,” which speaks for itself! Brad got plenty of engagement from the crowd, which is often a challenge when speaking, and the room was buzzing afterwards! If you’re looking for a speaker to help out your team, I would definitely recommend getting Brad in to speak!

Brad Hook is an outstanding presenter, facilitator, communicator and educator. His evidence-based approach and insights provide credibility and robustness to even the most critical of audience members. He meets people where they are on their journey and invites them, without judgement, to explore opportunities to lean into a greater understanding and practice. I have had the pleasure of observing Bradley work with academic and business audiences and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him.
