Gary Fahey 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 and managing the Office of Commissioner, a deep, dark and destructive battle with mental health and a combination of formal and informal education, coaching and mentoring to develop his own evidence based, practical systems and structures for success.
Gary delivers an honest and authentic appraisal of his own misgivings, an insight into his own battles with depression, anxiety and addiction and the path he forged to find his own peace – taking the audience on a discovery tour of his 20 year journey from the top of the mountain to rock bottom, the understanding, trial and error and success of his pathway out and delivers it in a unique style that combines the step by step process with honest accountability and human delivery.
Gary pulls no punches in not only identifying the number one reason why many high achievers struggle, but also what it takes to stop the fight inside.
