I am passionate about helping others unlock their potential. I will teach you or your audience the secrets of my Olympic mindset that took me from failing swim lessons to World Champion and then to becoming the first Canadian to win an Olympic medal in the 100m freestyle. The public always remembers the success, but they rarely ever get a glimpse into what it's really like to be a professional athlete carrying the weight of a nation on your shoulders. Your audience will feel like they are going through it all right there with me. And they will leave knowing they can rise through any challenge. 

Contact me to unlock the secret to thinking like an Olympian to power up your business or personal endeavors.

“Brent recently was the keynote speaker at our 8th annual Employers Connect breakfast session focused on addressing mental health in the workplace. We had over 100 of our clients in attendance and Brent certainly did not disappoint. His thoughtful speaking style, coupled with his willingness to share the tremendous ups and downs he has experienced as a world-class athlete throughout his lifetime, had the audience hanging on his every word. Additionally, Brent was extremely easy to work with in preparation for the event and clearly put a lot of thought and effort into his speech. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience in working with Brent Hayden.”

​Authentic, moving, and funny, Brent delivered a powerful message about resilience and perseverance to an audience of senior financial executives. As Brent told his personal story, he was able to make it relatable to individuals in the room who may not have any idea of what it means to be in professional sports, let alone compete at an Olympic level. It was a refreshing presentation to remind these business leaders that failure is not necessarily always a bad thing, just as long as you can learn from the experience as you keep striving towards your goals.

Brent’s inspiring presentation just barely gave us a taste of the dedication and determination that drove him to overpower the obstacles he encountered along the road to becoming an Olympic athlete. His failures were numerous but his successes far greater. His audience was absorbed as he described in an unembarrassed and humorous way what he learned from each setback and how each was used to further his goal to becoming a World and Olympic champion. He left the audience appreciating that they too can rise above any challenge they may meet along their road to success.
