She began her business in 2008 as a digital agency, before transitioning into c coaching and training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her experience spans a wide range of industries and sectors, working with clients including Australia Post, Swinburne University, the National Association for the Visual Arts, Academy XI and General Assembly. However, the vast majority of her clients are solo operators \u2013 sole traders and small business owners who would far rather just do the work than talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brook loves provoking real-life learning. Her training is known for being highly practical and actionable, with plenty of opportunity for creative brainstorming and discussion. She&#8217;s steeped in real-world experiences and thinks that boring should be a crime. Brook lives in Sydney, loves lifting weights, doing yoga, and diddling around in her garden. Noodle soup is her love language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Slides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sydney.wordcamp.org\/2024\/files\/2024\/11\/Brook-McCarthy-WordCamp.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View PDF slides<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect With This Speaker<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hustleandheart.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sydney.wordcamp.org\/2024\/files\/2024\/09\/world-wide-web.png?resize=32%2C32&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Speakers Other URL\" class=\"wp-image-5456\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/brookmccarthy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sydney.wordcamp.org\/2024\/files\/2024\/09\/linkedin.png?resize=32%2C32&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"LinkedIn\" class=\"wp-image-5455\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@brookmccarthy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sydney.wordcamp.org\/2024\/files\/2024\/09\/threads.png?resize=32%2C32&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"threads\" class=\"wp-image-5475\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brook McCarthy is a veteran business coach and marketing mentor with more than 19 years&#8217; experience in digital communications, and more than 12 years in training, coaching and facilitation.
