Bio: Brooke Taylor is a globally recognized transformational career coach, keynote speaker, and the leading authority on a phenomenon she pioneered known as the “Success Wound™.” With a career that began in the high-pressure hallways of Silicon Valley, Brooke spent years as a Marketing Lead at Google, where she was honored with the Google Global Sales Award. Despite her outward accolades, she experienced firsthand the "manic ambition" and burnout that often plague high achievers, leading her to a profound personal transformation and the eventual founding of her coaching practice.

Brooke’s highly anticipated first book, "Healing the Success Wound" (published by Hachette, May 2026), which serves as a definitive guide for women to reclaim their identities from the "Success Wound".

Today, Brooke is the secret weapon for executive women at the world’s most influential firms, including Goldman Sachs, McKinsey, Uber, Salesforce, Coinbase, and Meta. She has helped over 5,000 leaders decouple their self-worth from their achievements, allowing them to trade chronic burnout and workplace anxiety for a career rooted in deep fulfillment and sustainable power.
