Gary brings a unique combination of experience guiding heads of agencies and culture change, acquired knowledge, expertise, and proven strategies for success designed to inform, inspire and innovate modern understanding of the role culture plays in building peak performance for individual, team and business success.
Gary Fahey is a mental strength and performance specialist, mental health and addiction counsellor, highly sought-after speaker and bestselling author who embodies the mantra of “Lived it, Learned it, Earned it.” His unique Brutal Honesty brand was forged through 18 years with the Australian Federal Police, leading the Australian Prime Minister’s Personal Protection Team, directing the strategic and operational responsibilities of the Office of Commissioner as the AFP's Executive Officer, and managing international operations - all while (silently) battling a deep, dark and destructive battle with mental health.
Combining his ‘on the job’ lived experience with a Masters in Brain and Mind Sciences (specialising in peak performance and leadership), an MBA (specialising in organisational strategy and culture) and a work ethic that turned his personal struggle into his greatest success, Gary has worked with, studied under and learned from experts around the world to develop his own practical systems and evidence based strategies, helping high performing individuals, teams and companies build identity, purpose and sustained success.
Gary’s story isn’t built on theory—it’s built on experience. From thriving in high-stakes, high-pressure roles to confronting personal struggles with addiction, mental health, and identity, Gary has walked the path he speaks about. He understands the unique challenges high performers face because he’s lived them, and his raw honesty and vulnerability create a connection few can replicate.
With a master’s in brain and mind sciences specialising in peak performance and leadership, and an MBA specialising in organisational culture and strategy, Gary has the formal academic (and some informal underground) foundation to back his methods. He combines cutting-edge neuroscience and psychology with timeless philosophical principles, translating complex ideas into practical strategies that drive purpose, resilience, and sustainable success.
Gary knows that true transformation isn’t handed out—it’s earned. His ‘tested on me’ approach means every strategy he shares has been proven in the trenches of his own life and his own success. He’s built a reputation for delivering real-world results, earning the trust of leaders, teams, and individuals who value action over optics.
From athletes to CEOs to military and emergency services personnel, Gary works with those who bear the weight of significant responsibility. Whether navigating crisis, leading through uncertainty, or striving for the next level of success, Gary equips leaders with the tools to build resilience, make sound decisions, and lead with purpose.
Gary specialises in working with high achievers facing personal or professional turning points—those struggling with identity, purpose, or challenges such as addiction, burnout, or loss. Whether rebuilding from setbacks or seeking greater fulfillment, Gary helps his clients take control, reframe their struggles, and create a clear path forward.
Gary helps teams in elite sports, corporate environments, and high-pressure industries unlock their potential by aligning purpose with performance. Through tailored strategies, he fosters cohesion, resilience, and accountability, creating cultures where both individuals and organisations can thrive under pressure.
