Allow me to introduce myself...

I'm Brooks Gibbs

This year marks my 25th year of getting paid to present school assemblies around the world. I was 19 years old when I mustered the courage to give it a try. I'm now 43 years old and have presented over 3,000 paid school assemblies, taught over 2 million students, and provided an awesome life for my family. It all started with a willingness and desire.

If you are interested in joining me in my mission to build up the emotional resilience of the next generation, I invite you to take a leap of faith and join the Feeling Strong Speaker Academy.
