Brooke tailors each presentation to her audience- whether it's adventure lovers who are curious how it's possible for humans to row across an ocean, business personel seeking to build stronger teams within their company, or athletes young and old ready to hear the inspiring story of how four women braved the open ocean. Brooke requests a 30 minute phone call with clients to discuss expectations and specific topics for her presentation.
After the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, Brooke took a break from her National Team pursuits for something bigger- rowing unsupported across the Pacific Ocean. She left the training center, her job and apartment, and moved halfway across the country to train for the 2400nm open-ocean row. With no prior ocean rowing experience, Brooke and her team defied all odds, and became the fastest women to row unsupported from California to Hawaii, in 34 days 14 hours and 20 minutes. Brooke not only shares how it is possible for humans to survive on a 29 foot row boat, but what she learned from the experience, and ho important it is to be honest with yourself about your weaknesses.
