BROOKE
STRUCK
FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL FACILITATOR
AT CONVERGE
Leadership isn't the power you wield. It’s the great potential you awaken in others.
For years, Brooke watched organizational-change projects get delivered on time, on budget, and on spec—yet achieve little more than slight upgrades to the status quo. Not the "this changes everything" transformation that leaders desperately wanted.
Brooke noticed a pattern: when leadership teams tackled big-picture conversations, they wandered widely but rarely reached concrete, actionable outcomes. Meanwhile, brilliant solutions already existed inside these organizations; internal experts had been advocating for them for years, but without being heard. The problem wasn't lack of insight—it was lack of structure to access it.
So Brooke transformed his approach. Instead of showing up at a table of 12 senior leaders as a 13th voice competing for airtime, he gave himself a different job: making the table smarter. He breaks big-picture conversations into manageable chunks, facilitates productive disagreement that builds up rather than tearing down, and draws out the internal expertise that's been available all along.
The shift was immediate. "We've never worked together like this before," leaders tell him, "and we want more."
Today, as Founder of Converge, Brooke helps organizations navigate inflection points—strategic disruptions like AI adoption, cultural transitions like changes in the C-suite, and operational transformations like mergers & acquisitions. His thought leadership appears in Forbes and the Globe & Mail, but what matters most is guiding teams to discover they already have everything they need to succeed.

COLLECTIVE LEADERSHIP: BREAKING THROUGH FROM TWEAKS TO TRANSFORMATION
Keynote (60-90 min) | Workshop (1/2-day) | Executive Session (2-3 hours)
In the earliest days of pandemic response, when the stakes were so high, my teams and I learned to stop “waiting for leadership to arrive.” Instead, we stepped up and provided the leadership we ourselves hoped for. And we never looked back.
This session reveals how to stop creating leadership bottlenecks, start accessing the collective wisdom already present in your teams, and aligning for flexible, coherent action. One participant noted this delivered "a new wave of insights" with "real-life cases that make ideas accessible."
Key Takeaways:-
Structure organizational energy without creating bottlenecks
-
Build shared understanding that enables aligned action
-
Achieve coordinated autonomy at every level
-
Develop distributed capability for crisis and daily operations
-
-
ACTING WITH CONFIDENCE, EVEN IN UNCERTAINTY
Keynote (60-90 min) | Workshop (1/2-day) | Immersive Experience (1-2 days)
When the stakes are high, leadership teams seek even greater certainty before they act. Those are also exactly the situations where clarity takes the longest to emerge—and where the value of moving quickly is the most pronounced.
Drawing from entrepreneurial experience and strategic consulting across industries, I demonstrate how “calibrating commitment levels to confidence” unlocks huge competitive advantage. We start acting faster, while others are stuck in analysis, while proactively mitigating risks they don’t even see coming.
Key Takeaways:-
Recognize when seeking more information becomes counterproductive
-
Identify hidden risks in sticking to the status quo
-
Design frameworks for acting with appropriate safeguards
-
Transform uncertainty from paralyzing to energizing
-
-
MUTUAL COMMITMENT: CLOSING THE STRATEGY–EXECUTION GAP
Keynote (60-90 min) | Workshop (1/2-day) | Transformation Experience (2-3 days)
How many initiatives launch with enthusiasm only to fade into irrelevance? The gap between boardroom agreement and organizational action remains leadership's greatest challenge. The breakthrough here comes from the realization that people will buy into and push through challenges for the initiatives they contribute to. The most powerful way to get people to take ownership & accountability is to design the initiative together—without watering down ideas through superficial compromise.
Key Takeaways:-
Design inclusive processes that generate genuine ownership
-
Mine resistance for deep insights, not shallow compromise
-
Convert tough critics into powerful advocates
-
Build mutual accountability to drive follow-though

In a VUCA world—volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous—where everything changes rapidly, many believe that strategy quickly becomes obsolete. Yet, strategy remains essential. The real challenge today is to reinvent how we build it so that it becomes more agile and brings clarity, even in the midst of uncertainty and chaos.
In an unpredictable VUCA world, traditional models of leadership are no longer enough. To succeed, leaders must evolve toward greater clarity, collaboration, and curiosity—adapting their approach beyond strategy alone.
