Leading Around the Globe: Understanding and Managing Cultural Differences in Leadership
What if the key to effective leadership was cultural intelligence? Discover how to navigate differences and turn diversity into strategic advantage.
Building Culture, One Story at a Time
How storytelling shapes culture, connection, and purpose.
Stories are how people make sense of who they are and what they stand for. Inside every organization, stories are being told—in meetings, in hallways, in the moments that define “how we do things here.” The question is: are those stories shaping your culture on purpose, or by accident?
When shared with intention, stories become the heartbeat of a culture. They make values tangible, turn strategy into shared meaning, and connect people to something larger than themselves. This experience reveals how to find the moments that matter, shape them into authentic narratives, and share them in ways that unite people around purpose and possibility.
Because when your stories align with your values, culture isn’t just something you talk about, it’s something you live.
Participants will leave this keynote with a clear understanding of storytelling as a strategic lever for culture, along with practical anchors to use narratives to strengthen alignment, cohesion, and purpose across teams.

Speaker
Location : Vancouver
Language spoken : English
Brooke believes growth happens at the edge of comfort — where courage meets possibility. As one of the youngest Professional Certified Coaches (PCC) recognized by the International Coaching Federation, she brings a rare mix of insight, energy, and perspective to every conversation and every stage.
Her journey is shaped by challenge and creativity. A record-holding endurance athlete, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world medalist, and accomplished improv performer, Brooke knows what it means to stay grounded under pressure, adapt in real time, and perform when it counts. These experiences deeply inform the way she coaches and connects with others.
Whether working one-on-one or addressing large audiences, Brooke’s intention is the same: to build confidence, spark transformation, and invite people to stretch beyond what feels familiar. Known for her calming presence and sharp intuition, she leaves audiences feeling braver, more grounded, and ready to take meaningful action.

Patricio Larrea believes leadership begins with clarity and becomes powerful through courage and purpose. For more than 15 years, he has helped leaders across the Americas communicate in ways that inspire trust, ownership, and action.
His path to leadership coaching is anything but conventional. Trained as an architect, Patricio first led teams in high-pressure construction environments where communication wasn’t optional — it directly impacted safety, performance, and results. That experience shaped his deeply pragmatic view of leadership: when words are unclear, consequences are real.
Now Chief Growth Officer at The Humphrey Group, Patricio helps leaders navigate tension, take a stand, and speak with impact. As a writer for Forbes and a trusted advisor to Fortune 500 executives, he brings a rare blend of structure, humanity, and real-world insight to the stage.
Authentic, grounded, and highly actionable, Patricio leaves audiences with more than ideas — he gives them the clarity, confidence, and courage to lead differently.
