What People Say About Working with Brooke

"Brooke was an absolute pleasure to work with, super smart, knows the community services sector really well, values driven and a genuinely nice person too. She has a great work ethic and builds long lasting relationships with people based on collaboration and mutual respect."

Richard Nearn, NFP Executive

“Brooke held the room so carefully, sharing practice insights with a strong focus on the intersection of practice and lived experience. She is a skilled and evidence-based presenter and her time and expertise is much appreciated.”

"I was one of the students in the social work session you spoke at today. I just wanted to let you know, your talk brought me to tears. Thank you for putting so eloquently what is such a lived experience for so many. When you spoke of advocacy being labelled as difficult, I have never felt so seen. So, thank you! The world is privileged to have such a beautiful voice speaking loudly. "

“I’ve worked alongside Brooke for many years, collaborating across a range of projects, and have consistently admired her ability to quickly grasp what’s required, maintain strong team focus on the objective, and deliver high-quality outcomes.

Brooke’s strength lies in her deep understanding of leadership and team dynamics, and her ability to translate this into practical, well-structured models and approaches that managers can readily apply. She is an excellent communicator who engages people at all levels and brings them along on the journey.

Brooke is genuinely committed to helping leaders build stronger, more connected teams. I would highly recommend her to any organisation or individual looking to strengthen leadership capability and team effectiveness.

Philippa Bolton, NFP Manager

“Brooke brings an energy and enthusiasm to her leadership that lifts everyone around her. As a leader, she is both inspiring and genuinely considerate — the kind of manager who supports people to do their best work.

One of her real strengths is how quickly she can understand an issue and cut through to practical, effective strategies. She also sees and recognises the strengths in others straight away, which makes working with them feel motivating and valued.

Deb Kirk, NFP Manager

“Brooke is a dedicated professional who consistently goes above and beyond to ensure team success. Collaborating with her on the design, development and implementation of an org-wide practice framework project was a true pleasure; she brought a positive attitude and exceptional organisational skills to every challenge.

Beyond her technical delivery, Brooke is a natural leader who manages complex relationships with ease. She has a unique ability to influence stakeholders at all levels, navigating cross-organisational dynamics to build motivation and drive momentum. Brooke knows how to turn complex project requirements into actionable, successful outcomes. Any team would be lucky to have her, and I look forward to working with her again!
